Looking forward to next week! I have a rough idea how to spot Levi's from 30 years ago, but not entirely sure.

I learned a lot writing this series myself. There are so many bits of history in great jeans. Thank you for reading Mary!

jean shopping is so hard and vintage jean shopping is next level. i had no idea i should be looking for 2-3 sizes above my usual size?! or taking a photo of jeans i own and like as a comparison point. canโ€™t wait to start my etsy search (which i had reserved for vintage overalls only) thank you!!

I hope these tips help a bit. Itโ€™s tricky, I know! Good luck with your search. Weirdly I think overalls are easier because they can just hang. Would love to know if you find the perfect pair.

The Kate Moss jean at Topshop show - I have always thought her jeans were Topshop ? Because I have what looks identical, which I bought that year from Topshop and still wear

Hi Anne, oh wow. My research led me to Chloรฉ, but I would love to see your jeans. Lucky you to have the same pair.
