  1. Yea, it's funny cause bluebuttonshop isn't even a denim shop they have general friendly japanese herritage vibe.

    Haven't seen stores get any new LVC, last two pairs I got were a couple boxing days ago for very cheap before the shop cut the brand. I wish the Levi's stores or the one downtown would carry it. I've only seen LVC once in a Levi's store in a mall and this was back in the day when I first discovered raw denim. Even the standalone flagship store during that time before it closed only had the regular 501STF and the selvedge501STF. 

    As for the Military Inspired pieces - the shop could be HAVEN for their in-house brand CYPRESS, it's all on sale right now actually lol. That's the only store I can think of that's in a back alley.
     

  2. Toronto has a decent offering of "RAW "denim brands but they are spread out throughout different shops because most of the shops aren't dedicated to denim. If you try and search 'denim shops toronto' you won't really find anything. Top of my head for Toronto:

    BlueButtonShop has Warehouse, Sugarcane, FullCount, Denime, Kapital, SDA etc. Pretty sure they don't do chainstitching, could be wrong though.

    Dutil Denim (I think is the only shop in Toronto that has a chainstitching service but it's expensive because they outsource it), RainbowJeans (They used to have Evisu, LVC, Lee and many others but now I think all they carry is N&F and Nudies).

    We also have HAVEN (Kapital, Visvim, Neighborhood etc.), UncleOtis (OrSlow), Nomadshop, Lost&FoundShop(McCoys, Tellason, LVC), Muddy George, Gravity Pope, Lavish&Squalor (used to have Edwin not sure what they have now). Capsule and Livestock are sneaker stores but they do carry some brands. 

    Big retailers - Holt Renfrew, Harry Rosen(Had RRL before not sure anymore), TNT, the Bay.

    There are many other shops downtown Toronto especially on queen st. that also probably have some sort of raw denim offering. You kind of have to look around because all the shops carry different brands. Brands like N&F, Nudies and APC are very common to find. 

  3. Anyone know where to find the size tag on the Chore Jacket? Can't find it - ordered a size too big, going to have to exchange it. I'm 5'8/5'9 165-175lbs and I ordered a 42 to account for some layering but there is still much space even with my beefiest sweater. Length is fine and sleeves were a bit long but was planning on cuffing it anyways.

  4. ^yea, they are one wash and very soft. They are a couple shades lighter than the lvc and are very fuzzy with hair but my iphone camera + indoor lighting couldn't capture it. I thought the store sent me the raw version by accident until I saw the crinkled patch.

    I'd say LVC stain my bath the most of all the jeans I've had, they're like a leaky biro!

    Those will stretch back an inch easy I had the same size 34 a couple of years ago.

    Do you remember the original length of the jeans or how much shrinkage you got out of them? I forgot to measure them before the wash. I have a pair of 1947xx rigid from the same 4420 code and the waist is ~35" and the length is 32". I'm assuming they were a bit over 32". One day LVC will get it right and make it easier for all of us....

  6. To update the info above - I let them line dry in my garage for about 2 hours until they stopped dripping then I brought them inside to dry overnight. They are pretty crispy now and can stand on their own. They actually don't seem to have lost that much indigo with the gentle machine wash and I am happy with the amount of shrinkage I got from my washing machines gentle cycle. '

    Tagged 34x32 - raw measurement was 35.5" in the wasit laid flat. After the wash they now measure 33" waist, 29.5" inseam and 8" leg opening (I think they were about 8.3-8.4ish before the wash).

    Received my type 1 LVC from the Levis.com sale today. Threw it in the wash to get rid of the shrinkage up front and was surprised at how much crocking and indigo loss there was! Don't typically experience this much/any from other denim items that I can recall (last was maybe the LVC 47's I had maybe), but I'll definitely be wary washing these moving forward. They don't have as much of the "feel" and heaviness that we (often inaccurately) associate with quality in the fabric, buttons, rivets, etc. but it was a good deal so I won't complain.

    I just washed a new pair of rigid1966s that I had stored for a while with cold water and gentle cycle 26min to get the initial shrinkage out and they also seem to have lost a lot of indigo compared to when new. It might just be cause they are wet still or I haven't dealt with LVC in years don't know what to expect. Maybe I should of hot soaked them but I feel that whole process to be so extra and unnecessary. 

    These had a button code of 42 and a tag code of 4420. Definitely made oversized, Tagged 34X32 but the waist measured around 35.5" raw laid flat.

  8. does anyone have any experience with the warehousexburgusplus 880? The measurements on hinoya have ~32.7 for size 32 and ~33.8 for size 33 not sure how i should go. Also thinking of maybe just grabbing a pair of 800s the consensus for those are just tts correct? Thanks. Just came back on the site to sell some stuff but then got myself hooked again... smh

  9. Trying to clear out some stuff that I don't wear. Don't have the time to wear these and I grew out to a larger size. 

    Everything is new/unworn unless stated and have been chain stitched hemmed** (Check measurements).

    The inseams are fairly short because I wasn't a fan of stacking back then.
