Are you sure? Sounds kinda illogical. I'm sure the deadstock are tagged at their size before shrinking - maybe the new year's preshrunk ones are tagged at their actual size? The other way round would be nuts. Not that huge multinational brands don't do things that are nuts every now & then...

LOL, I read that back and thought that is nuts!! Having thought about it a bit more I think that is what I meant to say - that the washed ones are tagged as sized now but the deadstock are still tagged as size before shrinkage...sorry 'bout the confusion!!

Wow, really liking the silver selvedge. Did those come with no back pocket stictching? Have to say I don't mind the back pocket stitching of Samurai's

LOL, ASBO = Anti Social Behaviour Order, popular amongst the kids today (in the UK anyway)

Stumbeline - Smashing Pumpkins

this was advertised not long ago.....looking at the posts looks like it was still available on the 1st March - no idea if it's been sold since though

...in a shop. You can get dry 47's in American Classics at 20 Endell St in Covent Garden. It is round the corner from the Duffer shop on Shorts Gardens. They also carry a lot of LVC and some Lee. They had about 10 pairs in various sizes - saw 29, 32 and 34s, mostly 34" leg/inseam. At £180 ($315) though, you'll be paying top dollar for 'em. Makes that $50 price rise for you guys in the US seem not so bad!! Luckily for me I managed to get a pair of 32" from Grandism

Anyone in London, interested in PRPS should head to Liberty's on Regent St. Was in there yesterday and they have loads - one wash purple selvedge although couldn't find any longer that 30" leg/inseam and loads of washed/finshed ones in different styles. Loads of sizes available too

I had a look in Cinch in London yesterday and they have a bunch of LVC stuff - 33, 47, 55 dry as well as some washed 47, 55. Anyway the guy in the store was telling me that the washed stuff (as opposed to dry/raw denim) is now tagged as sized, eg 32x32 is exactly that but that the raw stuff is tagged as it always has been - size before shrinkage. Something to think about if ordering any new season stuff online maybe? I did try a pair of washed 47s on - they were tagged 32x32 which is about my size and they fitted as such although they were a bit tight but that I think is due to the cut.

Hello everyone, this is my first post!! Anyways....I was in London over the weekend and had a quick look in Liberty's. They had an awesome pair of PRPS. They were one wash purple selvage 30x32 - no idea what model but they absolutely blew me away. This is the first time I've seen a pair of these jeans and the detailing on them was top notch. Quite lightweight denim - similar weight to some 1933 LVC's I have and a really nice colour too. Tried them on but they were too short for me which is just as well as they were £200. I bit too pricey methinks. Anyone interested should head down there if they can.
