Well, here there are as of recently. I am thinking about soaking them just to shake out some of the dye that is hanging on to some of the broken areas.

My cat wanted in on the pictures, so here she is.

You can see some of the dirt/grass stain on the fade from when I fell when we were ice blocking.

Just a moderately worn pair of 501 stf. On and off for almost 1.5 years but maybe 10 months or less of wear.

I was just at Kohl's today and I saw some brown denim STF's, as well as a different colored blue raw STF's. These new blue STF's look like they have some pseudo-vertical fading-like inconsistencies, and the color is darker than the normal STF's and more like the LVC line.

[pdeng]

here is my stf, about 6 months of total wear (got them 1/22/09). First hot soak on that same day. 2nd soak on my grad day on 6/7/09. Also had a rendevous to pismo beach while I was college touring so I waded through the ocean some. I've worn them pretty hard every day up until the past week. I've had issues with high contrast fading though...mmph.

What was the waist, inseam shrinkage after a few washes/drys?

[Originalji]

After 6 months and 4 hand washes, my tagged 31x34 STFs are now a measured 31.5 waist and 32 inseam.

End of June update. Been wearing these more after a slow June. Got caught in a heavy rain storm on the 19th of June and these have stretched out again.. Can't wait for another hot wash to get the fit right.

Those look very nice sayo!

How long have you've been working on them?

Hi,

just have been to levis store Munich. And I don't know if this is the right thread. But that's the story: there was a pair of 501s shrink-to-fit that cost 150 Euros and had selvage. They also had gold-ish rivets. So what's the story. So is this a special production of 501stfs? I just knew the 40 dollar ones.

Thanks

[Charlie Delta]

^Those could possibly be the same as these ones mentioned in the LVC thread?

Not LVC related, but yesterday i bought the Jeans that are on the last page of "501 the evolution of the jean" limited edition version, as the were on sale at £60 down from £120. I had to go in three different shops in London, to find one which fitted me tagged at 32x34 but mesuring 35X34, which i cannot wash as the fit is rather snug. Distressed LVC Jeans, T-shirts and Orange tab re-issue were aslo on sale at half price.

the 2008 may never became collectible and make into the remarkable jeans, but it all organic cotton and natural indigo and it smells deliciously.The only thing that the staff knew about them was they will shrink.

Sadly, apart from a few fanatics nobody is interested in LVC. Not even the staff at levi's stores in London.

[ThomasK]

Well, this would be possible. Also the prize would be the same. So this is a special limited edition.

Would there be A differnce -regarding the denim - between 1947 lvc s and this selvage stf 501?

how did you get so much vertical fading?

i cant get my stfs to fade well at all

STF's are relatively easy to fade. I'd say less easily than APC's, warehouse, and samuris, and moreso than nudies, LVC, full count, etc

knee shot tease 1yr +

i think the shot is fucked but i liked the colors

[chris_n]

what's the deal with the khaki STFs? i can't seem to find them anywhere, but one website --so i'm curious as to whether it's a typo

im pretty sure its a typo on the macys site (if thats where youre looking), since ive never seen 'rigid khakis' anywhere else

[blm14]

Not a typo. Scroll back to some of my posts in here. I've seen them in person - tan-colored STF 501s.

[chris_n]

confirmed legit. saw them at JC. the SMALLEST size they had was 34W. good god, get it together america, there are still normal sized people living here.

i'm gonna cop as soon as i can find them in my size. love me some khaki stf

whoops, i meant that it was a typo that they were labeled 'rigid'...Ive bought them from the store, but not from the website, so I do know they exist haha

[chris_n]

the new tan ones are rigid STF they also have other tan ones that are pre-washed

[duck sauce]

to cuff or not?
