BIG-E is type fabric cotton for levi's..BIG-E only have for levi's 501 XX (full spec or not)
this cotton is really nice n little hairly..last production for this levi's is 1986..this levi's also in one type for LVC (Levi's Vintage Clothing).

Capital-E is new levi's design, i sure not sell in malaysia..types of Capital-E is fomous is Skinny LOT 511 or 512..for me..this levi's same wit 505,517 also..

u can see that in

For last question..yes the material is diffrent..because levi's made in philipines is so poor quality from made in usa..but this original because it's underlicend levi's san francisco..this is strategy company to low of cost for production..because firstly material can get a low price, can pay labour is cheap compare in USA..

One more this, for another country like japan, procdure a diffrent type and patern levi's but still LOT Number has same what USA procdure..
take a look 501 USA and compare 501 Japan..but now in boutique, all 501 are come from Japan not from USA yet..last production from USA is 2001..

For me..Levi's Store also have a fake one's..huhu..because levi's since 2003 a poor quality..

Levi's X Fragrament or Fenom only product by Levi's Japan...that one's is collobration levi's only..levi's fenom follow measures levi's LOT 501XX and 503XX or LVC. Also can talk carrot shape..

This one is 501XX BIG-E..

In metro point kajang sell levi's from philipines..501 only RM 100..authentic..only sell dockers..there are levi's and dockers oulet..
