Sympathy-For-The-Denim

@jewellben I recently bought myself a pair 30s and wonder if you pair shrank with subsequent washing and why you sell them in the first place? I really like the rough touch of the denim but think they could shrink around the hip since mine suffer from a huge hip flare although I bought em already quite small...

@unders, actually yes, I have three pairs of that 2008 collection which are the bow legs, the insane inseam and a skinny fit. All bought from Ebay though and also unworn, since I just bought them for collectors reasons... do you have any pair from the REDs?

here is my humble collection, I used to sell the "1st comfort" unfortunately few years ago, the one the right below is womens pair... the only thing I refuse wearing them are the exposed back pocket rivets, which come in beautiful gold / brass colour.

Many thanks unders for sharing. I still have a few pairs from the 1st series and three pieces from 2008 collection, all barely worn yet. great to see eventually some decent worn in pairs: https://www.instagram.com/p/CyjmX59hnmc/

splendid, but where to get those LIVE'S?

so LVC released a limited (of course) pair of 517s, todays price at cultizm is 550,-€ 🫠

the jacket is the so called 1879 pleated blouse, which originally never came blanked lined back in the days. and yes it was a late 90s Valencia street repros. years later LVC dropped a pre distressed version of these... and last year LVC put out a none lined version of it as part of their final LVC collection... btw. some folks here stated LVC is history, but today there was pre announcement on instagram for the 517 bootcut jeans to back end of the week...

looking for a proper and somewhat "reasonable" priced pair of 37ish repros, I could get my hands on a pair of 30s TCBs. originally coming from LVC I always thought the short button flys of current LVC repros looked odd and the 90s 201xx's are suffering from too much hip flare, which always occured wether you wore em fitted or downsized which was often the case hence their notoriously factory down sizing. after the decent looking but expensive, red tab missing sugar canes hit the market few years back, not to mention freewheelers or the last 36ish samurai iteration I thought I never could make my hands on a pair of cinched jeans with crotch rivet and concealed rivets with out spending a fortune. my pair has not arrived yet and I wonder if anyone can share ones experiences regarding fit, further shrinkage etc. how is the denim compared the 44s denim
