Yes, they're on Drapers Walk, check out Present in Shoreditch, too, more details here, with more suggestions

[jstavrin]

I can't imagine they'd have any LVC, but if you're going to American Classics, you should head over to J. Simons. I think it's only a block or two away.

[Cobblers]

I'm looking forward to that very much! I loved the Russell St shop and was aghast when it closed luckily for once something even better has risen from the ashes. Some LVC in there would be a nice touch.

Viva John!

For those interested , received pair of 55's today from Cultizm . See sizes below . Quick 15 mins hot soak (jeans turned inside out) drip dry in hanger then into airing cupboard for 4 hrs and bingo post soak sizes .

tag W33 L34

presoak - waist width - 17 " , knee - 9 3/4" , leg opening - 9"

post soak - waist width - 16 1/2 (now stretched to 17") knee - 9 1/4" , leg opening - 8 1/2"

Inseam was 33 1/2" , now 31"

Must say in my expereince 55's have always been a quick shrinker , whilst 47's take their time . However great bargain at £149 (never thought i'd say that !!!!)

[Dr_Heech]

Beautifull arcs on these! And the leather patch is mint.

Glad to see Lvc copied the buckle correctly on their 37's.

Yeah, those arcs are amazing. Why not on the repros?

I know, so many great opportunities wasted by Lvc...and dont even get me started on the dreaded Lvc '37 arcs!

Anyway, but check out that lovely heavier sail-type stitch down the sides (last pic enlarged) - definately one of the things I loved about originals.

[roy6]

Caliroots has the shawl collar jacket in M too. Looks like things are selling well this year, despite the price hike.

The leather Jacket & shorthorn check shirt from this season & last.

Stop fingering that thing. It looks like a big cow vagina. Don't ask how I know.

How much leg shrinkage occurs on the 1890 jeans?

I'm sure my last pair didn't shrink much but I got rid of them regretably in a clear out and want another pair!

[Guest redchris]

Just got these this weekend.

Absolutely beautiful, only thing, I had to rinse them to get rid of the leg flare caused by over 10 years of folded storage.

'kin 'ell these shrink, now well and truly a 34" as opposed to the 36 label size.

So I'm open to offers.

Some pics post-soak

Measurements now ;

waist 17" across

thigh 12"

knee 10"

leg 8 3/4"

rise 12 1/2"

Inseam 34"

still open to offers.

http://caliroots.com/c-store/campaign.asp?tab=0&cid=4027 just a heads up. ~100 euro off is pretty sweet.

[BAerts]

@roy6: Looking sharp. Must spread.

[Paul T]

[grooveholmes]

That's a sharp coat, Paul, but I can't see the rest of jeans... I like those fades around the knees. How old is this pair?

[roy6]

^Looking very dapper Mr.T- what is the coat?

Thank you. It's TopMan - trendy store, for which my ex-neighbour fortuitously works - in a collaboration with Harris Tweed, wool hand-loomed in the Scottish Western Isles. THey retail at £200, which is ludicrous.

And the jeans are 55, maybe nine or 10 months wear.

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

can´t rep. you paul , but very nice stuff i see... since winter has arrived here very strong i´m in love with my herringbone coat.. will do some pics soon...

[dr.house]

It looks like you've stolen the bag :-) ...seriously, great outfit and great fadez on those lovely 55's. Super!

[erk]

those 55s deserve unending praise.

Paul what do you do in them to get them like this after 10 months - sleep in them?!? Amazing

How many washes?

[Dr_Heech]

What erk said. Those 55's should go in the 'grail' thread.

Apologies for asking this question again, I promise I've looked thru hundreds of pages of this thread and couldn't find the exact answer..

I have a pair of Levi LVC 501 1947. I'm trying to figure out the date of production. The tag reads as follows:

There's this code at the top: 052177286947

Then the machine wash instructions.

Followed by:

(Right hand side) - WPL-423

The last two lines reads:

643 492606

701S. 475019124

All of this is on the opposite side of the tag that has the levi copyright, as well as the size and "Made In USA"

Does anybody have any idea as to which year these were produced?

My guess is 7/01 summer

Or january of 2007 maybe?

Paul T - the book is amazing. Copped it off amazon. Good stuff, man
