not too tight

ADH92 try to find a baking pan that is the same size of your waist or cut a 2 X 4 to put in the waist while you soak. this way you can get the shrinkage out of the rest of the jeans while not having to worry about being able to stretch the jeans back out. I wouldn't suggest wearing them while damp either as that can lead to knee bags.

PBJ XX005 7 months wear 1 wash and a few soaks

LVC 501 1947 3 or 4 months? 2 soaks

I wore the LVCs as long as I could but sadly they are not stretching out enough to be comfortable so I will be giving them to my brother.

starting to fall apart...

Not too sure where else to post this as there has been a little discussion about the Levi's x Filson line. Tried on a the shooting shirt and the cruiser jacket which were both oversized but maybe they shrink down? I tried on the tin cloth trucker in small but it was way too tight; strange because i have a small trucker which fits fine. Anyways I picked up one of the booklets and made some scans to share.

The two denims mention are named "Rigid Nappy Denim 13.5 oz" and "Rigid Saturated Denim 13.5 oz"

The rest of the pages in the booklet are like the notes pages which seem similar to Field Notes notebooks which Levi's was selling as well.

All of the items were unwashed and had a nice feel but while all these were hand made in Seattle, the denim is sadly imported.

Today I went with my lady as she got a tattoo done by her close friend. I took a nap in my PBJ 005s on the porch during the majority of it.

i know it is not time period correct. personal choice, i think it looks better.

my girlfriend was getting rid of a pair of her Levis skinny jeans. they had an orange tab as it was a remake of the 1966 skinny. i recently picked up a rigid standard trucker from Century 21 for $30, so i decided to replace the red tab with the orange one.

inside the pocket i found a bunch of thread that was fraying off so i decided to carefully salvage it to use to sew the tab in.

i have a stitch ripper so it was really easy to remove the orange tab from her jeans as well as remove the tab from my jacket.

i started at the bottom of the flap on the outside to secure the tab first. i used a stitch my mom showed me before to repair the thread on pocket bags but i forget what she called it. i would go underneath first then bring it back twice to get the stitch to become visible. then skip ahead a stitch and go back twice again. this way all of the dirty work is on the underside of the flap while the top side almost looks normal.

i didn't do the best job but this is still one of my first few times sewing. i think this subtle detail makes this $30 jacket lot a whole lot better.

Depends on which store you go to. I've been to the one on 14th st in NYC and they have the red brick and black ones in 34 length. My guess is the larger stores will carry more variety and larger size runs.

Does anyone know if the 1967 505 stretches a lot? I found a pair brand new for $17.00 in a used clothing store but I was about half an inch away from getting them buttoned. For the price I'm tempted to just buy them for the denim.

nice wear SLAB. the stitching came undone the same exact way on my 660s the first time I ever wore them. I have been wearing my 660s cause the thighs are a little bit looser compared to my PBJ 005. good stuff + rep

haha yeah Vinneus you are crushing a lot of poor people's dream by posting that! (mine included)

^^ seller has 3 other pairs for sale all under $300

PeterParker I've had similar issues with cards getting destoryed in my american apparel wallet, ends up there was a tiny bit of sand in the card slot that must have just been wearing the stripe away. maybe you could line the inside with fabric?

Was at the J Crew for Men Store today on Broadway and tried on some Mister Freedom gear but also saw the 700S and 484S which definitely looked heavily machined washed. Not stiff at all, didn't really feel like there was any starch left in there at all. Saw plenty of sizes though if anyone is interested.

My brother is getting married on 10/09/10 and all I can think about is waking up the next day hungover and putting on the 811s for first time.

I plan on wearing them whenever I can for the entire contest; at work I can't but I'm going to wear them to work, change pants and do the same at the end of the day to wear them home. I want to live in them.

Just got my tee in the mail. Thanks for the fast shipment and awesome service SE!

It is darker than i was expecting but that is not a negative.

anyone who was worn a mister freedom tee, have the sleeves stretched out at all? mine aren't too tight but i usually don't go for fitted sleeves.

wear them in a bath tub full of hot water with your legs bent so then the combs will be set and can't move so then hopefully the calve and leg of the jean will shrink.

i tried on the non lvc 201s in a levis store in black size 30/32 when normally im a 30 but these were atleast 1" bigger than normal and stretchy as well. i believe all the non lvc 201s made will be sanforized.

hey shinobi your fit looks similar to mine after the hot soak i gave my 660s. At first everything felt too big, i didn't think that my combs were going to set right but after about 5 days of wear everything seem to settle down. i didn't seem to have that much of a diaper ass going on anymore. the waist on mine is snug but the thigh is the loosest out of all my jeans(PBJ xx005 and LVC 1947).

maybe a hem too could help create a more uniform fit but i think after a few days wear those will be great looking on you. a little bit loose but in no way baggy.

Hey aho I never knew that Saint's Alp was a chain. There are of two of them here in nyc and I love all of their tea and snacks. I would love some almond milk tea and spicy pork on rice after reading through your tour updates. Keep it up!

great fit on the waist and legs it seems but that sure is a lot of stacking!

I always try to take pictures of my denim but always have trouble capturing in focus with accurate color photos. Luckily today I was able to!

You can see all the fold lines, 1 for the usual cuff but it has been getting hot in the city so i just keep cuffing higher.
