I don't often make replicas of Levi's jeans, but once in a while it's fun. This pair is based on jeans 05 in the book "The 501XX", but in the No 2 version rather than the XX version, meaning it is sewn with cotton thread rather than linen thread and will have a linen rather than a leather label.
This is one of my favorite Levi's models, made shortly after overlocking was introduced, but before the introduction of chainstitched seams and belt loops -- the perfect model to make on my machines here in Osaka.

Good denim, a good book, and a bottle of XX Bitter. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
