x-post from Vintage thread as there’s a significant 50s component therein:

Initially yes, but do you go down afterwards?

How do you size for Euphoria?

Turns out it wasn’t him at all who put the wear in, it was the evil amusement park owner all along!

Very impressive wear. How does @scoobydoo it?

Not mine but very funny.

While you’re there - M11327: https://zenmarket.jp/en/auction.aspx?itemCode=k437808564 The seller also has a size 36 as well as this size 40.

What about his dad, Nigel Lafarge?

What jeans are you sporting these days @exaptavist?

You’re this close to being banned for that comment @Geeman 😂

I like leg twist but if it bothered me that much I’d simply buy jeans which were less or not prone to it.

Just contemplating the definition of madness over here… 😆

@mlwdp 🎂

What happened to your orders @Alec Leamas? Did they arrive unhemmed?

^ I think they’re framed album covers

You didn’t say that Paul but I know the jeans were made in Turkey and there are plenty of Internet references of Levi’s and Orta being partners so I put 2+2 together and said I think the fabric is from Orta and not Cone. Of course, my maths could be wrong and the denim could be from elsewhere but from a logistics perspective it would make sense.

Whether they’re trim or not is largely irrelevant and dependent on the physique of the wearer and whether they size correctly, up or down. From what I’ve read on the subject and according to experts such as @Paul T, LVC exaggerated some aspects of the cut in their models in order to differentiate them enough (and thereby justify them and possibly encourage us punters to buy multiple pairs).

They are none of those 3 models, which are all LVC reproductions based on approximate interpretations of models extant at that time. If your question relates to which current LVC repro model they most closely resemble/align to then it is clearly not the 47s as the pair Nicholson is wearing has a paper patch. The film was released in 1975 and set in 1963. In that instance, Nicholson could be wearing a contemporary (ie mid-1970s) pair of Levi’s. If however, the costume department were aiming for something period correct, they should more closely align to an early 60s pair, which in current LVC terms would be most similar to the 55 model. I can’t quite tell whether they have hidden rivets or not but I think they do.

I’m sure they still have all the ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ series on UK Discogs Neal.

Simone’s cinched it!

^ Mine didn’t. When I first unpicked the stitching the tab felt quite weak and flimsy but over time and washes, it somehow seems to have tightened up and become more resilient.

You can see it across a fair smattering of pairs so I think it’s safe to assume it’s the denim rather than a washing technique.
