Levi's Vintage Clothing

The 78's also carries the shallow arcuates:

Other question- I'll send my blue and black to aeroleathers for a relining. What do you guys think- should I go for the original, simple black lining or should I choose some tartan lining?

[Paul T]

I think tartan works best for a heavier lining, so I would go for the black rayon personally...

[dr.house]

Yeah, I guess you're right. You're still waiting with the relining?

[Stratos]

I got a pair of 66 over Christmas, previously I've stayed clear of them as there was little appeal with no cinch, hidden rivet etc as per the earlier models, however they have become one of my favourite and the arc is so different to other models.

They are the only LVC anyone who doesn't know about my obsession has asked me about as they look different from standard Levis.

I have the same; I wear buckle backs to work, noone ever asks. When I wear the '67's I get remaks and questions all the time, funny

[jstavrin]

Weight is per square yard. What ends up as a square yard after wash, will have been more than a square yard before, nearly 1.2 square yards, so the weight per square yard goes up by roughly 15 %. After wash the fibres are packed together more densely,

The pair as a whole isn't technically heavier, then? But that would explain why my fairly old and constantly washed Denimes feel "thicker" than my hardly-worn pair of SC47s.

[Paul T]

Yes, the trousers as a whole are the same weight, but smaller, hence heavier per square inch, and denser.

[jstavrin]

Thanks for clearing that up. I could tell the fabric tightened, but I couldn't wrap my head around how they'd actually get heavier.

@dimas: nice catalogue. You should scan and upload this item ;-)

I added pics of catalogueSS 2005 to LVC Catalogue thread

Thanks, I always forget about that thread.

[Guest guincho]

opinions on the fit of my 47s?

[tropicalbird]

Try taking better pictures.

[Guest guincho]

don't have a digital camera :< except for the birdberry

[tropicalbird]

I was referring to the angle. Nice bulge +rep

[kit99bar]

pics from that angle tend to make jeans look more tapered than they are. +1 on better angles.

Ok, dont kill me...but... I actually removed the arcs on a pair of 66' , I love the fit so I have a couple of them and thought it was worth a shot.

Next morning I was sober and got a bit regrettful. It felt as if I had removed a bit of history. However, as I was going for a modernfit jean-look, its a nice looking pair.

Best reg!

[Stratos]

Anybody have any experience with the Lot 66 overalls? I wonder how much they'll shrink, haven't soaked mine yet...

If we take out anyone first, it will be Vin. Then you.

Wouldn't be the first time someone did this. It's a little strange IMO, but understandable. Pics?

Great! Hit Vin first, that I'll get me a head start as I'll make a run for Canada, Zimbawe or some other place where you cant find me(or my nonarcedass).

I'll try to get some pics this weekend.

[Shorty Long]

Those are pretty sweet. If I didn't have my ROYs I would probably be all over these...they're STILL using that shitty cinch buckle though.

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS LVC!!!

I saw just a couple of items in Cinch, the rest are arriving next week.

I also had it confirmed that the Rough Rinse, made in Turkey, will be a permanent part of the collection, at a lower price than the raws. All the fabric is definitely Cone.

And, as mentioned previously, they have a light resin finish - which chips off in bigger chunks, designed to make them crock more quickly than the raw.

[grooveholmes]

Wow. All the fabric? Just out of curiosity, why would they do that, as opposed to sourcing from Turkish or Euro textile suppliers? Not that the news doesn't pleasantly surprise me...

[Shorty Long]

All the fabric is definitely Cone.

Does this include the Pantaloons? Here's what sivletto says:

"Raw japanese Kurabo Plain Selvage denim

Sewn in the USA."

[fardin]

i also just visited the silvetto site. and they have the 1878 Pantaloons Jeans .

i found a fit pic on the caliroots page. why are they so tight in the leg?

http://caliroots.com/c-store/product.asp?id=25099

to bad, i was thinking of getting those, but seeing the fit pic.....

[Paul T]

For Cone I was talking about the Rough Rinse models.

All STF fabric on the raws from 1915 on is Cone. (apart from the 505). For the earlier fabric, it's always Kurabo, so that's what I'd expect for the Pantaloons. On the example I saw, the fabric is lovely, a really nice unbleached creamy fill yarn

I mentioned, about a year ago, that Cone were going to be producing the earlier fabric too, but that was an error, they only produce the Duck, of the earlier fabric. (There's a certain logic to this, as Cone only started supplying fabric to LEvi's in 1915)

Pre soak and during soak pictures of my 2010 1944.

I only today noticed the different colour stitching across the back, gold and yellow.

[jake431]

The sitting in a bathtub method, nice. I take it you are sizing for a somewhat slim fit then?

[erk]

I saw my brother yesterday, wearing his 44s...I am jealous. They look incredible. The denim is fantastic. Now someone buy me a pair in 34x36.
