Sympathy-For-The-Denim

Whats the slimmest LVC model available?

you could look for the 1966 606s Super Slims, these are the jeans worn by the Ramones, it´s the skinniest Levi´s jean produced in Big E times... and really rockin!

Nudie´s Long John are low waisted, and got the same skinny legs.

bump.........

the new 505 from summer and winter this is for exsample is made of 14,5 oz Kaihara Denim, this i japanese... so there are always differences... and man be glad, you have a 555 San Francisco Valencia Street jean!!! and maybe it is soft because it was tumble dryed after washing!?

just lool at that threat:

all info you need

@ed-47, I wouldn´t be afraid that these W34 are getting too tight, maybe the are tight after the first wash but my experience is that LVC´s stretch back in waist after two or three days of wear so go for the W34, I´d go that far to say that these stretch to a W35-36 after few weeks...

one advice: after you´ve you soaked the jean, pull em on while they are still wet, close the button and pull em down to your hips as far as possible, finally knee down, so you get maximum stretch

now only one day left in the auction:

Levis 1944 S501xx three hot soaks...

.........bump

I dunno, all these old jeans had been produced in masses, there wasn´t any great work in producing it, no handembroidered silk and velvet jacket like in the 1800-1900s, so I guess there will be more in hidden closets, garage etc. pp. than we might think. And it´s only jeans, if somebodys is crazy enough to spend more than 1000 Dollars for jeans he should do it and wear em...

Thanks everybody for the posts, really great stuff to see, as the menlo leather jacket or the 1897 pleated blouse...

btw. could someone get me a dry pair of these 646s these aren´t available to the european market :/

only few days left!

505 ´67

1 year, 1 rinse

Back:

I really love that 505s, gonna get me a pair of this lvc´s season, it´s made of 14oz japanese denim... did you rinse the jean before start wearing or after the long period of time? I wonder because these doesn´t show much wear, but what the show ist really great!

who cares, everbody wants expensive japan fakes, if you know what i mean;) so these got a great ability to fade nicely as you can see on the fotos above. the jeans with the best fading is saw were always thai fakes...

Today I had look at Buttenheim, it´s the Levis Icon store in Berlin, they´ve got the beautiful 1936 Type 1 jacket, the dry denim was quite thin 12,5 oz(that´s authentic) but wow this jacket is stunning, I must get it... and they had an overall for 500Euro, it looked very nice but was prewashed, hope the get in dry denim aswell! I would recommend to get the 1967 505, these are really heavy in style and denim

they will shrink more in length, the waist you can stretch back...
