Does anyone have some info about the 1983 501? Is the fit rather baggy or tapered to the leg etc? Compared to a '47?

Thanks

[almostnice]

Happy NEw Year!

It's more like a later version of the 1901; no belt loops,wide-set, big pockets. But the fabric is different, around this time it also got heavier. Yes, I know I need to update!

I hope you downsized, as they're made a couple of inches over. Where did you buy them?

Oki Ni are showing pretty good prices and seem to have most of the LVC range in stock:

Yes Happy New year and I hope everyone had a merry one cuz now it's time to pony up to Uncle Sam -- those 1099's will soon be knocking at our doors...lol!!

Okay Paul, if the fabric got heavier around 1915, what then is the actual weight on the LVC 1915's? I've seen them advertised as 9, 10 and 11oz. raw. Again, like on all LVC models, the weight is hardley ever mentioned and when it is, it varies widely from one vendor to another.

1983 is quite loose fitting with a very straight leg. Nowhere near to a '47, quite close to a '44.

Hanon got them all on sale too....

all these places w/ lvc on sale and i can't find a pair of 1967 505 in my size

anyone know where to get some rivets to make some jeans?

[booyaolian]

The 'vintage king' guy would be able to sell those jeans at around £9600 if he values them at 1.4m yen, dunno where $150k came from

I thought it's 14million yen. So it is 150k USD.

I want to know as well...I also want to know how to set rivets onto the jeans.

Yo can get copper rivets and a corresponding punch from Tandy Leather, they're in the US and UK too, here's a link (you may want to give them a call for the right size to order), heck get some stuff to make your own perfect belt while you're at it :

thanks Doug for the link.. I did see those before but I don't thing they make a 3/8 version. 1/2 is the smallest they make and I think that would be too big for jeans...

[the_state]

if a sz 36 regular 501xx is snug on me, will a '67 505 in 38 fit ok?

[Dr_Heech]

Just wanna say Happy new year to all !

Then if that doesn't work, this place should definately have the right size... I'd contact them and tell 'em you're looking for the closest thing possible to a levis jean rivet in copper, if you are. Don't forget to get the punch too (furrel or whatever it's called). Please post what you end up with, I'd like to see it myself.:

This place also has copper burrs (rivet washers), I think the #13 size is 3/8" [but varify that before purchasing]. Not sure if they carry the posts but they should, if not use the posts that tandy sell :

[sayocean]

^ not to rag on ya but LVC 47s retailed for 175 in the states.... come on man

[giantsdrink]

That should be fine.

My 'true' size is usually 31 or 32, and I have a sz 32 '67 505 which fits a little snug.

Definitely go TTS or even sized up.

Great jeans tho.

try finding a brand new 1947 555 at $175 - the dude doesn't have to buy it ya know

[ADDIC]

im guessing he didnt know they were 555.

[matt0]

RRLselvageDenim - check your inbox

[Shorty Long]

i'm guessing that when (IF) LVC is re-introduced to the US, they will retail above $175

This seller usually has some good rivets available. But his stock looks kinda low right now.

[Leonard Leroy]

Man, more and more I have to thank Pomata for those jeans if that's how much 555 is going for

[matt0]

That's the reason why you should ask Dejan, mate!
