Tumble dry them (hot).

I ordered a triple pleat jacket from the UK website with a 30% discount code last Tuesday and received an email confirmation of my order. As I hadn’t heard anything for over a week, I chased it yesterday. After about 5 emails, Levi’s have now informed me that the order was cancelled due to a technical issue(!) even though no one had informed me and that I should resubmit my order. Basically, they do not want to honour the discount code and would prefer me to pay full price for a jacket advertised at a discount.

Of course I declined and asked them to honour the original order and told them I wanted to complain about their disingenuous practice - I’m still awaiting their reply. What a bunch of charlatans!

Oh, no one answers when I call their customer care line either. Great service Levi’s.

 

Surprised this order was cancelled as it was so early in the week. I made 2 LVC orders on Wednesday/Thursday, both arrived the following day. I kept receiving messages asking me to complete my order in respect of a pair of 76 I'd left in my cart - of course when I tried to order it kept saying my cart was empty! I did contact Levi's to query this and received a response earlier today implying that the item had gone out of stock. I've responded noting that the majority of the LVC stock was pulled off the website after the Black Friday promotion went live and it was now available again (and my item was now back in stock) - I don't expect a satisfactory reply. Levi's do themselves no favours here it's a bad customer experience.

Exact raw measurements:

Waist: 46,5 cm
Thigh: 34 cm
Hem: 22,5 cm
Inseam: 85 cm

 

So they are TTS. My only concern would be the 33.5" inside leg - might order a 36/36 if I buy a pair.

Strangely enough(!), all LVC items seem to be back in stock on the UK website.

Yes I just noticed that! Strange isn't it?

Need help finding the perfect pair of jeans? I'm the Levi's StyleBot and I'm here to help.

Has anyone seen a preview of SS18 or is there anywhere online that shows a preview? I'm interested to know if the Lot 3556 Sack Coat has been repeated in a different fabric(s)?

That sucks, I just put a few items in my cart and no problems at all. Strange behavior to say the least, it shouldn't be a problem for a big company like Levi's to ship stuff from different warehouses within Europe - at least as long as Brexit isn't through

The German website seems to be OK now. However the UK site they've restricted the availability of LVC down to 6 garments. The USA site is also good for LVC and the discount is 40%. Levi's UK for some reason decided to pull the majority of stock from the BlackFriday/Cyber Monday promotion.

My basket now says out of stock. Tried the German site - everything (LVC) is showing but if you try placing anything in your bag you get this message:

Apologies, we are out of stock. Please remove this item.

Cool Hand, what did you pay for your Mirrors?

Paul T, £180.

33's have been sent back.

I've spent quite a bit of time researching actual measurements for 1976 standard RHT. I went for a 36/34 in the Mirror and they are true to tagged size. However I'm seeing different measurements for the RHT! Most are basically indicating they are TTS - however here the 36 / 34 measures 38" across the waist:

http://www.joenet.co.jp/smp/item/levi-26408-0000.html

Is this LVC adjusting their sizing for the Japanese market or is the sizing just a lottery? You'd think the Mirror and standard 76 would use the same pattern?

I don't drink whiskey! Actually, I don't drink but may take it back up for Christmas!

1933s just arrived. Disappointing TBH. They are TTS. My apprehensions about the fit of the seat/top block has been confirmed - too much fabric - they are wide in the thigh, knee and opening. They might improve after a hot wash. The denim is not as nice as my 1915s, it's a little darker and a kind of mid-weight that is neither here or there; I'm sure it would fade nice enough. The belt loops/suspender buttons combo makes no sense! Don't like the shape of the back pockets and the Arcuates look sloppy. 

I also picked up the Lot 3556 Sack Coat. Fits TTS. It's not really a sack coat, it's more of an overshirt that wouldn't look out of place in a Levi's RED collection. Lovely fabric - 60% Linen/40% Cotton. My only criticism is it's a little sloppy around the hem and I question how practical it is. Going to sleep on it.

I found a pair of 1933 yesterday in a BF promotion for £112 - thought that was a fairly good price; if I don't like them I may pick up a pair of the 76 to add to my 76 Mirrors - I'm kind of reluctant to wear the Mirrors as they are the closest thing I have to a conceptual art edition. Anyone here own a pair of Mirrors and have worn them? Is that sacrilege? 

Maynard, I've tried that and now it only shows 7 garments available, how many are you seeing?

I can't believe they could have sold out of that much stock in 24 hours - not at 30% discount!

I still have several pairs of 76 in my cart which are available but they are not showing on the main page. Looks deliberate to me.

Does Levi's Germany use the same stock? If you order there where does it ship from?

This product is no longer available.

Most of the LVC on the UK site is showing the above. However, I left a couple of pieces in my cart and they are still available but not available from the main page! It would appear that Levis have decided to pull most of the LVC stock from Sale, did they make a mistake in including all of the LVC in the BF promotion?

1100EX-17 - what's the verdict?

Hi Danny, have you ordered any pieces from the new Mister Freedom Collection (AW17)?

Does anyone know if there's anywhere I can find the indigo (bleach) hoody? (9777ID-U)

Please PM me if you know of somewhere that has a XL. Thanks.

is the Lee 101 Z 16 Dips sanforized denim?

I've also noted that the care instructions for these reads:

Do not Wash
Do not Bleach
Do not Iron
Professional Drycleaning in Tetrachlorethene
No Tumbler Drying

Why are they dry clean only? Seems really odd.

June 5th is the final day that PBJ products will be available on OkayamaDenim.com.
We have come to terms with the fact that the new PBJ pricing does not fit our business model regardless of how hard we've tried. It just doesn't correlate well with the way the rest of our product and relative pricing is structured,
which brings us to this decision.
We will remove Pure Blue Japan items while we renegotiate our contract with the brand.
We sincerely appreciate all the support you guys have given us, as we’ve grown with the brand over the years.
We hope to be back up and running with the Slub Masters in the near future.

how different are the 1933 compared to the 1922?

does the 33 run to size? do I need to size up?

1915 repair:

thanks for the comments, this 9oz Cone is a particularly nice one, the colour, the fades and the weight is very nice for summer, although I also ended up wearing them during the colder months. The sack coat had a couple of soaks to get rid of the shrinkage (documented earlier somewhere on this forum). have Levis changed the denim of the current 1915?

Why all the criticism regarding the length? If anything Roy's earlier shirts were all a little too short, this appears to address that problem!

Which brings me to the question why was the previous short sleeve (red) shirt called the "Baja" shirt? That's not a Baja!

are these the 2015 version of the 1915? got myself a pair back then... love the colour and these should be nice for summer.

some more pics of how they developed would be nice.

 

 

 

 

Yes they are the 2015 version. I purchased them at Sale January 2016 from Peggs & Son along with the 1915 Denim Sack Coat. they've been in regular rotation since purchase, so looking at just over a year of wear. I've only recently started to wear the sack coat - which is made from the same denim, the difference in colour is very noticeable now. The colour (I'd call it a bright blue) and weight of the denim is great, one of my favourite cone denims. I will post up some pictures later.

jeans have machine washed cold only.

My 1915s after about 12 months wear the denim is starting split around the back pocket rivet; the denim is light, so not really surprised, but this appears the downside to this lighter denim. I would grab another pair if I can find a deal, 1922 model.
