Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Short answer, no. You can find out more information on that topic HERE.

Where do you ship?

All states within the USA plus many international countries. You can find out all about that HERE.

Do you sell men’s jeans too?

Short answer, yes. 95% of Vintage Levi’s that I sell were originally men’s jeans. If it doesn’t say “women’s” on the inside tag, you can almost always assume it was (originally) a men’s jean. One big exception: the 701. These are the OG women’s 501 that they started making in the 70s because women wanted in on the action. Then in the early 80s, they started making 501 for women, and the tag inside will say “women”. The impeccable fit of vintage Levi’s was, is, and always will be gender-neutral (even if it says women’s).


Do you sell low-rise vintage Levi’s?

Adding on to the above question, because most of the vintage denim I sell were originally men’s jeans, they will all have a higher rise due to that fact. (spelled out, they need more room in that region, resulting in a higher rise). On average based on measuring thousands of Levi’s, the rise will be around 11-11.5”. The smaller the waist, the lower the rise, but even a 13” flat lay waist will probably not have less than a 10” rise. ~in general~

Where are all the smaller jeans?

Another question asked regularly that goes back to the fact that these were originally men’s jeans. It would take a small man to result in a small pair of vintage blues.

I can’t find any jeans with a short inseam? otherwise asked/stated as: I’m (insert shorter height), help!

Similar answer as above, it would take a shorter man to result in a shorter inseam.

Can I measure on stretch jeans and then guess based on those measurements?

No. Even 1% of stretch in the material will make a world of difference. Even if they’re not tight once they’re on, your stretch jeans had to do a bit more work to get over your hips. Trust me. They won't translate as you hope and because all sales are final, I don’t want you crying over a pair of jeans sitting on your bed because they’re too small.

What if I don’t have any 100% cotton jeans? Also asked as: I don’t own jeans that I like how they fit to measure.

The only resolution to this is to find some. Whether you buy some from somewhere, measure and return. Or borrow some from a friend. Or maybe take a tape measure into a store/dressing room and try on and measure. At the end of the day, this method only works if you measure on a pair of jeans - that fit you as you desire them to fit - that are 100% cotton. How you come to find the pair you measure on is up to you. :) I also don’t recommend measuring on jeans that do not fit you and trying to guesstimate how to adjust the measurements so that they’ll fit as you like them (unless you’re looking to find a baggy pair and you’re measuring on a pair that is fitted, in which case I have another FAQ on that - see below).

Do you do personal sourcing? otherwise asked as: Can I just send you my measurements and you tell me which will fit? or the frequent: When you see a good 15” waist can you let me know or hold it for me?

I used to (and might again at some point) offer a concierge service where I would personally source based off your measurements for a fee. This offering is on hold. These custom orders are VERY time-consuming and due to the fact that I currently run this business on my own, I am currently choosing to focusing my time/energy on sourcing and restocking the shop.

Would you buy my old jeans from me? otherwise asked as: Will you buy back the jeans from me (that I ordered from you) that don’t fit me?

I do not source from customers (or potential customers). Many reasons, and thank you for understanding.

How do I adjust my measurements to size/find a “baggy fit”?

Good rule of thumb is start with your fitted flat lay waist measurement and add 3/4” to make it kinda baggy (but still somewhat shows your figure), or add 1.5” to make it a true baggy boyfriend fit to hang on your hips. You can also see this on the different sizes for 501, 505, and 517. Just know, adding inches to your waist measurement in return will mean the hips/bum will also be bigger.

What makes something vintage?

The most common rule of thumb is 20 years. If something is 20 years old, it is considered vintage. Some folks that are really into vintage denim (Levi’s included) say 30 years. I stick to 20, as there is incredible denim that was made in the 90s. Levi’s stopped manufacturing in the USA in 2002. (one exception to this are the Levi’s White Oak Vintage LVC that they have made in recent years)
This is the main reason I sell specifically USA-Made Levi’s, because then I know for sure that they’re vintage (and because I truly believe that when they began mass producing around the world after 2002 the quality declined).
You can age Levi’s by different characteristics of each pair, from the size/style tags inside, the leather patch (if it’s still there or legible), the general silhouette, and I won’t bore you with any more on that...

What if my jeans get lost?

Once your package is in the hands of USPS or UPS, it is completely out of my hands. If something is to happen to your package en route or after it is delivered, you’ll need to file a claim with the appropriate postal service. If you are wanting to add extra insurance to you package, please do so by messaging me immediately after purchasing so I can add it before I package (which I do same day). Please check with USPS to see which shipping options carry how much insurance.

Why am I not being charged sales tax?

Boy, aren’t you a good tax payer! (lol) Yes, as you can see there is no sales tax added to your purchase (unless you are in SC - where I am). This is not an error. You are responsible for reporting these taxes, per my CPA, since I do not have what is called NEXUS to report taxes to all 50 states - being such a small business and such.

Where do you find all these gems?

As my dad likes to say, “At the gettin’ place.”

But seriously, while we’re on this topic, I get asked a lot how I find my jeans - and if I buy in bulk. Whereas many vintage sellers will buy in bulk, boxes of vintage jeans (or other pieces), not knowing exactly what each will look like. I select each pair that I sell piece by piece. Which means I buy many of them individually - one (or a few) at a time from vintage dealers. I’m not going into Goodwill and stocking up. This takes an extreme amount of time, to source and curate the collection that I offer to you. I only select pairs that I would personally wear, that are examined for authenticity, are truly vintage, and have that extra something special. I love doing it, but a huge portion of this work (time) goes into the sourcing.

Do you have a “brick and mortar” or ever offer in-person fittings?

Nope, I am strictly an e-commerce shop at this time.

I love hearing from you!  If there is anything you want to ask and it's not listed in the FAQ's, you can contact me and I will get back to you promptly.
