  1. Hi SuFu,

    I got a query on LVC range for chicks.

    maybe not the flavour of this particular thread, but here goes

    My Wife would really likes the LVC 701's.

    I think its the 1937 issues that are in the new range.

    but she hates the buckle back.

    question 1

    was there ever a 50's issue LVC for women?

    she would never pay for new ones (frugal), and we can only get them online anyhow being in Australia..

    so i trawl ebay and yahoo.jp and get various results in searching.

    I wouldn't know where to start to Authenticate a real pair.

    She really likes the ones like on Ms Monroe in Clash by night.

    question 2

    Is there a SuFu user with any tips on what to look out for in tags, labels, rivetting and selvedge for this era ? Pink Selvedge? Leather patch etc etc?

    question 3

    could you suggest a 50's repro alternatve ?

    High rise, without the humongous pockets on the front?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    cheers

  3. Hi there.

    Just wondering if anyone on this thread has been down to the Levis store at Raffles lately ?

    I am coming through for my friends wedding at the start of December and wanted to pick up a pair of vintage collection dry 1901 501xx.

    Is this the only place in Singa to get them ?

    has anyone seen what they have stock of for this season ?

    prices roughly ?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    many thanks

  4. I have absolutely no hesitation when it comes to dealing with Hide-san.

    Sharp service is fast, and friendly with great communications and excellent rates.

    I have ordered several times and never had any problems.

    this is a fantastic service that unlocks huge potential in a market that carries some of the highest quality products in the world.

    Don't mess sharp service around.

    I would be lost without Hide san.

    :)

  5. hi there,

    I know this isnt a "should i buy" type thread...

    however.

    does LVC offer a type II jacket?

    I am really keen to get one.

    just wondering if anyone has come across one lately online.

    any links would be greatly appreciated.

    not too worried about the actual vintage of the jacket.

    new would be better. i like my own fades.

    hope i am not off-message with this request.

    any help greatly appreciated.

    :)

  6. Like magic !

    thanks for that. will get myself down to Bugis station and try to get my way to Haji lane.

    Love this site.

    thanks for the tip.

    cant wait to get over there for some of my favourite seafood dishes.

    :D

  7. hi SuFu's,

    this is a little off the current message..

    I am going to be dropping by Singapore on the weekend.

    would greatly appreciate any help with locations of anyone who might stock Flathead over there.

    Its a long shot... but this would be the group to ask methinks.

    would be sweet-as to pick something from the frontier series on my way through.

    cheers

  8. okay...

    heres one on shrinkage.

    i went and tried on an LVC 1967 type 3 new today.

    it was great. maybe not everyones taste.

    Raw, not too light weight.

    it had the usual shrinkage warning on the leg on a brown sticker that you get on the jeans.

    saying "for jackets go one size up"

    but then...

    the pocket had its own cardboard tag that said "pre-shrunk" 1% shrinkage could be expected.

    it was all misleading.

    anyone had any experience with the new LVC jackets and shrinkage?

    any info greatly appreciated

  9. :)

    I couldn't rate this service high enough,

    Great communications. very friendly.

    patient with my stupid questions and willing to translate on descriptions.

    SUPERsonic shipment .

    I was more than pleased with my yahoo auction buy.

    dont hesitate.

    :)

    I will definately use again

    Many thanks Parachutes!

  10. thats a nice one ninja,

    thats the tonka version of the hot wheels one i am after.

    looks well cool.

    where's that at?

    they may have more styles and that is close enough to make me consider something different.

    btw.. those skulls are f'ing aces. fuzzy lil mothers.

    wont take them off! cant wait for some fades on black.

  11. hi there,

    where do these belts come from that have the four rows of flat round brass studs that are pretty popular in London?

    does anyone know the ones i mean?

    not like your emo, punk style ones that you can pick up for tenner at Camden?

    I have seen Russell Brand and belive it or not Gordon Ramsay wearing them.

    there must be lots of them someplace.

    I will be knacked if i can find one?

    any info greatly appreciated.

  13. evrything else is perfect.

    just the width is snug on an 8,

    judging by what you say, a few weeks and the should be perfectly fine.

    they are just super tough when new and i wondered if there would be just a little give.

    If i go a size up the ankles are loose, length is out. etc..

    thanks heaps for the advice.

  14. Hi again,

    did anyone get any stretching out of a pair of 875 or 8131 etc?

    i tried on new ones today and am stuck for size.

    a US9 is a bit loose on the length and ankle and feels really clunky

    a US8 is just snug on the width of my foot and cause they are new it feels like a brick wall.

    will the width give any in these?

    the smaller size was perfect, if not for the snug width.

    any info would be greatly appreciated
