Nice Jeans...at five hundred bucks the imported label had better be from japan:)

[airfrogusmc]

Actually for that it had better be cone mills denim.

[Paul T]

I would guess the denim is from Kurabo!

I think Crackherhead has a pair and can tell if they're sewn in the US or not....

[airfrogusmc]

OPPs Paul you're right I stand corrected I think I read on all the early repros that it is Japanese denim.

hey. i posted in the small question thread but no one answered...

i am wondering where is a good place to buy LVC 501 and 505's....online or in stores...does the levi's stores usually carry LVC? or they only got the capital E crap?

66's are slimmer than 47's.

[Biff15]

66's are slimmer than 47's.

[Paul T]

Do you own both in the same size? According to Rob here, who does, they are both just as slim, with the same hem width; the 66 is slightly tapered, and hence the thighs are possibly slightly wider; it has a lower rise, and more of a pronounced carrot shape.

Although they might differ slightly over different years of LVC production, you shouldn't choose a 66 over a 47 because it's slimmer; rather because it's a more modern, less anti-ifit cut.

well i've seen the fit of both the 47 and 66 and i personally like the 47 fit better but i like the 66 too

i'm small so i was just wondering which would look the best out of the two

also I would need a smaller waist size because 30's would like fall off of me

any suggestions?

[whatuknowaboutthat]

are we talking about the 1967 606 super slims? Cause the 606's are excellent pair of jeans. If you are small/short def rock the 606's, 501's imo are good but dont really flatter our body types.

[reguar]

Someone got some wearing pics of 501 37, 501 47', and 201 20'?

[electronic cheetah]

Caliroots started their sale earlier today, all LVC's for 142$ kop 'emz!

Nice I went 4 months or so before mine hit water, Heres what they look like now. I think they're about a year and a half into it now?

Congrats I love mine....

[newbien]

Does anyone know how much the lvc 1967 505 will stretch? Will they stretch out more than two inches?

Man that is a great price I paid over $300 for mine. They are rare so hang on to' em..

[mikedbt5]

Picked these up a few weeks ago but just aint got round to wearing beyond trying on , they are tight or have I put too much weight on over Xmas ? I have had a number of pairs of LVC , these are 551zxx from 1097(Valencia St manufacture) The denim is remarkably heavier (at 14oz) and dark . Great detailing (incl an offset belt loop) and vivid orange stitching . Will get these on some tiome soon and start breaking them in .

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

a great pair of jeans, would like to see these after some month of wear... whish Levi´s would produce em again in real dry denim, cause these are somehow rinsed...

[mikedbt5]

If Levi were to reproduce these in raw /dry they would have to label them as a 501ZXX as the 551ZXX is preshrunk . LVC previously did a distressed 501ZXX (called Rebel Rouser - class name !!! ) but a raw , 50s leather or card tag repro would be cool .Will have to check up and see if Levis originally made a 501ZXX with a card waistband tag , I think I did see one in a Lightning mag (not 100 per cent on that though )

As for the denim finish , obviously due to the process which preshrunk the denim , whether that is sanforization or not I dont know ? still very dark and heavy though .

Cheers , Mike

[Paul T]

I think they were in fact Sanforized - Levi's didn't tend to use that term too much, maybe because it's more associated with Lee, hence they tend to call them preshrunk, even though they're not washed.

I have a beautiful original pair of 60s 551, which a friend has asked me to sell for him (I've tried, but can't squeeze into them). I'll post photos here before they go on the 'bay.
