x post from the contest thread, here's my 67s.

Since i haven't posted in a while, 67-505s

[ThomasK]

@joelz: I'm thinking of getting a 1967 505 soon. Are they fading rather fast? What's your experience with sizing? (maybe compared to a 47 if u own one or in general). Good looking pair and good fit I find. Thanks

[joelz]

Thanks Thomas, they faded reasonably quickly (I was rotating them with a couple other pairs, and there was basically a point of last summer where it was too hot to wear just about any pant)

I haven't done measurements in ages, but I got a 33 and they seem to fit pretty 'right' if that makes sense, I can do measurements when I'm home to make sure I'm not lying. I don't own a 1947, so I can't really compare.

ThomasK -- I've had a couple pairs of '67s and, like many people here in this thread, more than a few pairs of '47s. My experience has been that the '67s come about 1" larger than tagged size in the waist -- the 34s I had measured 35" (BIG-style), and the 36s I still have were closer to 37". It's been a few years though, so this info may not help you much. Either way, the '67s will stretch quite a bit in the waist after just a few wears. As far as a '47-'67 comparison, the '67s are slimmer with a slightly lower rise, trimmer thigh, and greater degree of taper than the '47s.

Hope this helps. Personally, I like the '67s a bit more than the '47s.

[Stratos]

I prefer the '67's as well, much more comfortable, the '47's require real skinny thighs to be comfy.

cultizm just added a pair of 1919 cords...notable that they don't appear to be too pre-distressed

Do look very baggy though...

yeah, those look really big in the ass. I bet the model could have worn them one size smaller though.

[roy6]

^They'd also look better worn with suspenders.

[Stratos]

^True. :-)

[dr.house]

Yeah, I'm still here ;-)

Wearing my blue black and my 47's...what about the jackets fit, guys?

(the sunlight alienated the colours a lot)

[beautiful_FrEaK]

jacket looks just about right from the front but looks kinda tiny from the back

Yeah, that's the way those jackets are tailored. I was unsure too at the beginning, but it's really comfortable and a cool feeling.

[crownzip]

Dr., your jacket was designed based on a 30's/40's work jacket. Back then trousers were cut with a longer rise so dudes tended to wear them higher on the waist than today so the jackets were cut shorter in length than we're used to. I think your jacket fit looks spot. Cool jacket.

[colgems1966]

Dr.House the jacket fits very well. looks good on you.

LVC just did a collab with Junya Watanabe (Comme des Garçons). You can pick them up for a low price of £625 through Endclothing.

All I have to say is, really?

[killer b]

a waste of a collab isn't it? looks phoned in. and shit.

[airfrogusmc]

Ouch now thats the direction LVC should be avoiding.

[Dr_Heech]

Agreed, utter shite.

So who's gonna be the first to buy a pair of '22's?

.

[Maynard Friedman]

Agreed, utter shite.

That's the same as a single '44 isn't it?

[Shorty Long]

I might come back from SF with a pair if I can find a shop that has them.

Agreed, utter shite.

[roy6]

That's exactly right. The hem and sleeves should be a bit shorter than we are used to today, for an authentic '30s fit.

Did you ever send it off to Aero for a replacement lining?

Thanks gentlemen, thanks roy6. Yeah, the jackets got a new lining from Aero (took them three months!), perfect job. They also resew the Levis-Label and, needless to say, I am very proud of this jacket.

Its a freak'n beauty and as Grant pointed out a perfect fit.

Different denim I believe.

Who'd a thought looking that bad would be that expensive?!

[killer b]

you could match them with a red plastic nose and a squirting flower brooch for next season's essential 'hipster clown' look.

[Charlie Delta]

FYI Junya Watanabe has been doing a small capsule with Levi's Japan for ages. It sits within his own collection and is only available through their retailers.

While it might not be for everyone, he has continuously been doing interesting stuff with it.

Don't be so quick to judge.

[killer b]

we can judge that one piece without having to see the whole range can't we?

fwiw i'm normally a fan of junya. not on this occasion though.
