Alright, after a fruitless search and posing the question in the general question thread, I've been told this is the right thread to ask this question.....

You'll need to post pics of the jeans themselves to help us ID them.

Why retired? They look pretty sturdy to me. They look good

You could ask the seller - I have sent questions his way before and he is pretty helpful.

Edit - in fact, under the contact member tabs, someone else has also asked that question and the answer is yes, it could shrink up to 2 and 3/4 quarters. Whatever that is? inches? According to LVC guidelines apparently.

but i dont hink hes really that knowledageble about the denim..

[big truck]

Well I've seen elsewhere that the denim is unwashed and with the description being 'rigid', I'd bet it does shrink.

It should be Sanforized - mine is, altho it's US-made and doesn't have the red tag. It perhaps shrank the tiniest amount, like my Wrangler shirt, an inch at the very max. I can't quite make out their tag, but again my guess is it's marked as Sanforized. As Ed guesses, I think the seller's probably just given a generic answer.

Altho the very early 1900 and 1920s shirts used to shrink, from the late 30s nearly all cotton and chambray shirts tended to be Sanforized - as you can imagine, it's a pain in the ass (or chest) otherwise.

So, short version, I'd guess shrinkage will be minimal.

I thought most of the Made in Turkey denim was sanforized.

[Paul T]

Many/most of the Sunset shirts have been made in Turkey and the raw ones weren't sanfoized. But given this is a Sanforized design, I'd be pretty confident that this example is Sanforized too.

[demonator]

well the seller said that theres 2 type 1 is made in us and 1 is made in turkey.. the usa one he said will shrink

[tigerpac]

Does this tag look right for a western style flannel LVC? I've only ever seen the shorthorn tag.

Thanks guys!!

[grooveholmes]

I've seen at least two different types of tags with the "western wear" logo. I'm not certain how "accurate" they are (in relation to the jeans) when it comes to labeling their shirts.

[dequino67]

You'll need to post pics of the jeans themselves to help us ID them.

So, the numbers on the wash tag are worthless unless they're LVC?

Thanks Erk.

I just really like where their at right now in terms of the fading and remaining indigo. Still wearing them 2-3 days a week just not my daily go to any more.

Trying to preserve the state their in for as long as possible.

Hey folks, I have a pair of LVC 1873s ducks, 555 Valencia St. that I am looking to possibly trade or sell. Anyone interested?

16.5" waist

13" front rise

17" back rise

12.5" thigh

9.5" knee

8.5" hem

34" inseam

46" outseam

I found an LVC Type I Western Snap shirt at Ross the other day. $30. Pretty sure it was irregular, though, since the tag was covered with some kind of cloth.

Anyone else find LVC at their local Ross or Marshall's?

[setterman]

what part of the US are you located? I'm in NWPA, and we got a Ross recently, but I haven't been in it since it first opened. might be worth stopping in this weekend. when you say western snap, you mean the denim sawtooth?

[undercoverone]

can some one help me. i am looking for a pair of LVC 47. but i am confuse which size should i buy. my true waist is 29. will a 32/36 lvc fit well? or is it too big? anyone upsize for the LVC, care to share some fit pics? thanks

[setterman]

Current '47s are true to size, to one inch over tagged. So, the biggest tagged size you'd want is a 30. A 32 could start as big as 33", too big for a size 29.

[undercoverone]

thanks for the reply.. but i am worry about the inseam.from the web http://www.oipolloi.com now i would only find 30/34.. do they make 30/36? cause i stand quite tall around 185cm

[setterman]

I have a pair tagged 38x34. I will have to measure them again, but I'm pretty sure they finished at a 32 to 32 1/2" inseam when done shrinking. Longer than expected, so I'm guessing they started at a longer inseam than the tagged 34".

[indigoeagle]

thanks for the reply.. but i am worry about the inseam.from the web http://www.oipolloi.com now i would only find 30/34.. do they make 30/36? cause i stand quite tall around 185cm

I find them very tight.

While I have a number of pairs in 32 that fit well, the 47s in 33 after soaking would be too small for me. I therefore got the 34 width. (By the way selling my basically new made in the US LVC 47s in 33/34 here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/325283/lvc-1947-33-34-like-new-with-tags ; best for people in Europe where they cost EUR 250).

So I'd say go +1 your true size. This again might be different with the newest ones. But I bought mine just some months ago. But could have been older stock.

For the length: I'm same height as you. 34 works, but not much left for cuffing. If you want to cuff, go for 36.

[undercoverone]

so i should get the size 30 or size 32??? arhhh..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

or a size 31...arhhh

Ah yes, the lesser spotted 38 66!

[setterman]

On a general ramble, I don't see many of the LVC 1966 models over here it seems, I wonder if it was less successful or just not pushed as much as the much more prevalent '47 and also '55.

And what happened to 38" inseam?

Put it together you have a rare beast, the 38" leg '66. Last spotted, I can't remember.

There's a couple of us here with the '66. I've never devoted serious time to mine, but they fit good (though little big since I've lost weight since buying them, but I'm not sure I could drop down a size on a new pair), and are wearing in very nicely. Stupid as it sounds, I think the paper patch and lack of back pocket rivets deter guys from buying that model.

LVC dropped the 40" and 38" inseam for LVC a few years ago, but the 38' inseam has been brought back on the larger (34, 36, 38) size '47s the past year or two. I don't expect to see longer than a 36" in the other models again though.
