Hello! Looking for some advice. Bears have restocked and now have a size 34 in the Levis 66 cut. Wondering if others have any experience with shrinking these made in Japan LVC? The waist is suppose to shrink 5 cm and lenght 8 cm. Does that sound about right? Also does the rise shrink much? Raw for a 34 is showing as front rise 11.5 inches and 15.3 inches back rise. I wouldn't want them to shrink much in the rise really. Also hem is just over 8 inches. Does this change much too? I'm quite used to looser cuts now so wondering if I should size up to a 36 instead. I know the 66 is supposed to be a slimmer cut but don't think I could go back to slim tapered again. I love the look of the fabric though and miss having arcurates on back pockets so thought I'd give these a try.

50s after another wash 🔵 I've avoided the dryer this time to reduce any shrinkage

I kinda like this. They look really clean. Wonder why the change after all these years though

Noticed Nudie Jeans have a new wider fit called Loud Larry. Their 30 size has a 11 inch hem. Pretty cool though as usual with nudies selvedge options are overpriced https://www.nudiejeans.com/product/loud-larry-dry-selvage

Cheers @blooming ! I have washed these quite a bit actually and was kinda going with the whole Hayashi-san method but tbh with having young kids the jeans get pretty gross anyway after a week or two. They fade so fast though that I might still get a bit of contrast despite the regular washing.

Update on my 220a 3 months of occasional wear These have molded really well to me and despite being heavier oz than I'd normally go for they are very comfortable.

You won't regret. So comfy

Giving the TCB 50s another go. This time went up a size to a 36 and I'm liking it a lot more this time. A similar wide fit to my fullcount 0105w but with a lower back rise. Really love the fabric. I've never had any levis 50s deadstock but I imagine these are very close

Nice wee interview but I am confused as they talk about the XX denim and recreating it from the 1930s banner. I've got the Lot.220A offset XX but is that the basic model or is it the XX that they are discussing?
-
I know but £300? Can't justify that. I decided to go for TCB 50s. The hem seems wider than maybe a true 55 cut but the fabric seems great. Went up a size 36 and the feel much better this time round. Or maybe I'm just getting fat

I really like the cut of the levis lvc 1955 501s and from vintage examples the fades too but they seem to be £300 most places here in the UK. Although Bears Tokyo sell them at £188 (though currently out of stock in my size) My question is is it worth waiting for Bears to restock? Do they restock lvc often? I had heard that LVC was discontinuing? Or should I look elsewhere for a repro 501 55 cut and if so which would be the most suitable regarding accurate fabric and cut?

I don't get why if the 220axx is supposed to be a repro of 50s levis then why is it 15.5/15.9 oz? Shouldn't it be 14oz after washing? Seems like the weight would be something easy to replicate. Saying that they don't feel particularly heavy and soften up quickly

@NilsLW That's very helpful thanks a lot
-
@NilsLW Have you tried Sugarcane 66 by any chance? The measurements seem much wider (bigger) but wondering if the denim is similar to 710
-
I sold my 710s a couple years back as I found they were too slim for my taste but I really loved the denim fabric. Are there any other jeans out there at a similar price point that have a fabric like the 710s in a relaxed straight or regular straight fit? Should I be looking for a 66 type fabric? They are 14oz but Resolute seem pretty secretive of where the cotton comes from saying that cut and colour is more important so finding hard to know what to look for in other brands

These Jeans are really getting funky. Never experienced such fast faders before and only a couple month of wear, washing and drying- 220A
