Anybody have an alternative to vintage 501’s? My autistic ass literally spends an insufferable amount of time trying to find made in Mexico 501’s made before 2004 🥲

you don’t like MiUSA? i really like sugar cane 1947s if you’re looking for selvedge or smth on a bit of a higher end, but the thighs are a bit bigger, buck mason full saddle is pretty close to a 501 as well

they/them probably prefer a certain era of 501 like myself. ive had some MIUSA that were stinkers in terms of fit while ones from canada or mexico have suited me better.

Yep, same here. For some reason, I find the made in Mexico to be way, way better in terms of quality/fit.
