DEFCHOICE

Some photo's of WWII era 501's.

Been a bit of talk of this era lately.

Many thanks. Maybe I'm mis-reading the MrMort post, but is he saying the SF store has "Made in America" Sunset shirts? Anyone know for sure?

The 20's Two pocket chambray and 55 sawtooth are both made in SF.

Need a little help with sizing 66 501s.

Can anybody tell me how thighs and general sizing are compared to the 67 505?

67 505 is pre shrunk, slimmer fitting, around 10 3/4 front rise, 14 1/2 back rise, 15 2/3 knee, around 15 bottom opening.

LVC and Made and Crafted both fall under Levi's XX and in terms of operations have nothing in common with the red tab divisions.

Upcoming season has not hit stores yet. I'm not sure who will be selling LVC here in the states. A reliable stockist was never released for S/S10, although it was available (Context, Blackbird, UnionMade, etc.).

I'm really interested in hearing about how well it sold. I know of at least one shop that wasn't particularly happy with how it was received by customers.

Blackbird, UnionMade, Barneys, Brooklyn Denim Company, Atrium, Sharon Segal, Ron Herman, Lizard Lounge, Immogene and WIllie, WCAGA, Steven Alan are some other US accounts if you're in those areas...

There was a quick Levi's feature on ABC Nightline tonight. You can watch it on ABC's website. The 1879 XX makes a quick appearance...

Looking forward to this.
