Rob, based on my experience over there, most Italians don't believe that blue jeans with a zipper fly could possibly be Levi's, even though 95%+ of the Levi's made and sold here are not 501. Seems a touch odd. But then again, 40-year old Ray-Bans and Timberlands are still popular, too (when now they are 10+ years out of fashion in their home country - ok, so Luxottica now owns the brand, but come now). No accounting for taste, or why the RW doesn't get any action from Italy or Leica. De gustibus non disputandum est (or is that sit, Marc? Maybe better to leave it at "suum cuique") Cheers Dante
