You're welcome. Funnily I never even bought anything on Cultizm lol. I just subscribed to their newsletter.

Thanks for the clarification guys. From what I remember it was on 2 websites : Royalcheese (french webshop) and Cultizm. Sadly the cone mills version are now sold out on both websites. 2 days ago, RoyalCheese had something like 29 and 30 waist size, and Cultizm had 31 waist size (those probably sold out yesterday as Cultizm offers a 20% discount for Halloween since yesterday). SecondSunrise is still offering both version though : 28 and 29 size still available in Made in USA Cone Mills version: https://secondsunrise.se/collections/levis-vintage-clothing/products/copy-of-lvc-1954-501xx-jeans-rigid While plenty of sizes are available in the new V2 version (made in Bulgaria): https://secondsunrise.se/collections/levis-vintage-clothing/products/lvc-1954-501xx-jeans-rigid

I'm asking because I saw a webshop selling both the 1954 cone fabric and the new 1954 japanese fabric (V2), both rigids, and the cone one is specified "shrink to fit" in the description, while the V2 isn't. Weird.

From what I've understand, the new LVC rigid 501's "V2" means they are made using the new japanese fabric. Someone know if the new japanese fabric is still a shrink to fit ?
