    wide leg jean suggestions

    in superdenim

    Posted

    I was able to glance at the booklet for the upcoming collection, and here's what I remember w/ respect to jeans:

    a finished 1879 501

    a finished 1933 501

    a finished and deadstock 1947 501

    a finished and deadstock 1971 646

    there may be more, but that's what I remember

    American Rag in LA has a bunch of smaller sizes of the '47 mostly 30. There might be a size 32, i cannot remember. the copyright on the tag says 2003, is this enough to tell what LVC season it comes from?

    it helps some, but what most people care about when it comes to such things is where or by whom the jeans were made (ie, BY Levi, particularly if they were done in SF...or FOR Levi after they had closed their US plants).

    the best way to determine this is by the stamp on the inside of the top fly button.

    of course, this doesn't matter to a lot of people

    BTW, do the K1's shrink at all?

    --- Original message by darknworn on Jul 31, 2005 04:59 AM

    Yeah,

    Plus I don't think he's very truthful. He states that the jeans he has were made at the Valencia Street factory, yet when I asked him what was stamped on the top button he told me an "R." I wrote to inform him that he might have his info wrong (they should be stamped '555') and that he's possibly misleading people, but he has continued to use that (mis)information.

    I'm certain the new range has a 47 reissue. Check out levis.com, the range should be on there by now, try the Europe site if you can't find it on the US one.

    thanks for the help...i've already checked out the european lvc, but i was more interested in the US collection...i think they're going to be completely different again

    the US site still has its spring/summer collection up

    Tragic

    I bought my 47's from the Levis store at the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica about a month ago. They're finally starting to carry the LVC line again. Also, you will find them at Fred Segal Melrose. Not in the Ron Herman shop but at the smaller side shop around the back. Thay have a ton of them there. My 47's are wearing beautifully; highly recommended.

    are they re-releasing them as part of the F/W '05 collection?

    Do they come with a little booklet, and if so, what is the theme, etc....?

    I can't seem to find any store in the US that has the new stuff....seems like the Europe/Japanese LVC F/W has been out for weeks

    I've never had a problem getting something LVC-related from the SF flagship...maybe the key is buying early. In any event, they do seem a bit scatter-brained...don't bother having them put you on a contact list to inform you when new items are in the store...they are helpful when it comes to mail-ordering though.

    What about American Rag? Do they have a better selection of Levi? I've heard that they jack their prices up. Is this true?

    Lots of 1947 R-model 501s are being sold in Levi's stores. I just saw some at South Coast Plaza the other day.

    Believe it or not I don't wear Levi's... Gasp! I know, I know...

    Anyway, I'm looking to purchase some vintage repro stuff and I wanted to know: Are Levi's 1947 501XX the slimmest fitting of the repro stuff?

    I like slimmer fit strait leg jeans so could anyone help me out here?

    Also, is a 30 waist true, or so, to size?

    Thanks for the help guys..

    i love the rigid 1947 jeans,definatly the best lvc jean fit.

    try to get get the "555"-first season or the "r"-last season models. ive noticed that the "554" fits a little weird in the ass. i am on the skinny side, and i love the way these fit. not too tight, but fitted in the thighs. knee and leg opening is bigger that the apc new standard, also the rises are higher than apc. i buy the size 30, and am an actual size 30. if youre going to shrink to fit them, buy a 31 and shrink them while wearing them, they will shrink perfect. if youre not going to wash them, by your actual size, they fit true to size when rigid.

    I really think it depends on each person...I've actually had a better experience with '554'-stamped '47s. The Valencia St. '47s ('555') I've had have worn out in the crotch fairly early on.

    I haven't tried the contracted '47s, but I might give them a shot.

    I'm a 30, but I get the 32 in waist...although I don't wash them very often, I always do eventually...and they definitely will shrink.

    are you in the US or UK? So far, I've picked up the Hap Jones '40s sweatshirt...I think it's one of the best sweats they've done in a while.

    how were you able to see the '06 collection? was it in person or in print?

    Just got the tab twills from Aero. Excellent but quite rigid. Probably take a few wears & washes to attend the perfect finish.

    Quite into chinos at the moment. Got a pair of off-white Levis K1s (made in italy) from ebay. My other favs are the subtly distressed grey sun-drenched tabs from last season (or maybe before) and the 1914 khakis from a few years ago, with some nice fraying.

    Anyone else rocking some non-denim looks?

    Ps great steal for any uk posters, barratts (i know) are doing a nice Mandrian inspired version of the vans slip ons at £5 (in the sale) a pop. Enjoy:

    what size did you go with? I'm normally a 30/30 in jeans. Are they sized the same? What kind of rise do they have?
