  1. Anybody any experience of the recent LVC 505 1967 rigid?? The made in Turkey version. Have a pair of the made in USA ones in 34x34 which are several yrs old and a bit tight on the waist. Just ordered 36x34 from Tres Bien and now stressing in case they are going to be huge!! Too good a price to pass up though!

  2. In my experience the 1108 stretches quite a lot. I have the w35 which became unwearable after a few months due to stretch. Have just got them back from Denim Doc having the waist taken in by 2 inches. A great job and now a much better fit.

  3. Prob answered somewhere here but I'm being lazy... How's the quality differ on the raw 1967 505's Made in USA to Made in Turkey?? I have the USA version but have the chance to pick up a Turkey version for a good price. I presume they are still the same denim?? Thanks in advance.

  4. Roy RN04 Waist 34

    Soaked twice and worn only four times as I tried to convince myself that they fitted. Needless to say they are too small and I am reluctantly selling. No visible signs of wear. Excellently made pair of jeans has already been well documented.

  5. Wore my narrows for the 1st time today. Denim is crazy stiff. 12hrs wear and first observations are that the rise is way smaller than anything I'm used to. I reckon they will need a good month of solid wear to make them sit comfortably. At the minute they are too stiff to give a fair assessment.

  6. Soaked in cold water for about 30mins and currently drying with a hanger stuffed in the waist band. Anyone else notice the denim sticky to touch after soak? Prob just the starch I imagine. They have definitely shrunk a lot. I may stick them on when damp to help stretch the waist. I hope they work!

  7. Just received my narrows in the mail. Fantastically made pair. The best I've had in a while. Just worried now about waist shrinkage. Not too tight pre soak can get my hand/fist down when buttoned up.

    Anybody who has soaked want to share stretch info.... I.e. do they stretch any with wear?
