I thought someone might of posted a review of the 1960s Made in Japan by now. I did have a pair in my cart on the Levis UK Store at launch but before I could say "these will probably be returned" all 3 pairs in my size sold out!

I stand corrected. They cost more in Japan and the same price as Japan in USA but they are being priced lower here. I made the mistake of looking at made in Bulgaria models sold in Japan for comparison.

I managed to snag a Cone Denim Made in USA Type 1 a couple of years ago half price. The Store didn't realise what they had and I managed to work out it was most likely a Cone model and not a newly released made in Bulgaria Trash. I got lucky. As I remember the arms were roomy but settled down after it was soaked. I would avoid machine washing - I did mine cold on a delicate cycle but the denim really softened up after that - just soaking retained the deep indigo rigid look which I prefer but it'll get there eventually whatever you do. Your MiJ looks a great repro - looks identical to my made in USA. It's a great fitting jacket.

MiJ 501Z is listed at £210 - basically the same price as it's sold for in Japan.

END have a raffle for that ugly long Tyoe II Jacket and a pair of MiJ 501Z 1960's – anyone have any info about these? What's the deal with the MiJ line and why is it being marketed over here?

anyone considering letting go a pair of straight 36's please PM me

can anyone report/review the Japanese 55s? anyone pick-up a pair?

how is that to big for you? that's really small for a size 44!! nice jacket btw.

I wear Roy straight leg style (RS04 etc.) – I have other LVC jeans but the Roy is closest to what I'm after. Thanks for the recommendations. Where can I purchase the 50's in raw? BTW: how do you size the 50s? – I'm looking at a 1 wash pair of 36 and apparently the waist measures 33.5!!

I think I want to buy my first pair of TCB! Where do I begin?
