Sorry! Just stick with the first sentence then!  

All good. 

 

But, just to clarify, when you say "[…]and 36 won't be a problem" do you just mean that a size 36 post-soak won't be a problem?

[setterman]

Tagged 36 will shrink down to 34" at most, so you should be good.

Hey!

 

I got a quick question regarding my 501xx Big E levi's. The back of the top button says 337. I can't find any info on this can anyone help?

 

Thanks~!

[dr.house]

Regular production 4 sure. Valencia street made Levi's are stamped "555".

I was looking for fit pics of the 1937 501 on Google and came across these on denimhunters.com, pretty cool I think;

Look through the cultizm contest thread, there should be some good fit pictures of '37s in there too.  

 

Too bad Unionmade was the only store carrying the most recent version of this model, put incorrect sizing info on their site, only carried 32 or 34" inseams IIRC, and wanted nearly $300 for them.  

[devilish]

I'd put money on those being the Valencia St. '37's' not ones from more current LVC production. The denim just looks the wrong color and texture to me.

Definitely the 1937 "201"

Thanks for the tip, there were a few fit pics of '37s in there, they seem to look a lot better the older they get, and I don't just mean because of the fading etc, they just seem to "hang" better.

 

And now for some pictures some of you may find distressing, a good example of how to ruin a perfectly nice pair of "555" era LVC's by not knowing how to use a washing machine...

Max inseam shrinkage on a pair of '47s? Given the deep rise, will a 34" pre-soak inseam give enough length post-soak for someone who is 5'10"-5'11"? (Don't want the leg to rise while I walk.)

 

I know this has definitely been answered somewhere in here before but, you know, 603 pages...

Pretty sure the size 34 inseam shrank to 32" on my '47s.  

[Double 0 Soul]

I pretty much boiled a pair of old stock 47,s to try to get the waist size down and the inseam still remained at 32" I am also 5'11"

[shoreman]

Thanks for the input, guys.

 

How did you like the length, D0S? If it's not too much of a hassle, could you link me to a fit pic? (Be it here, SF or on the Denimbro foum.)

Hey guys, does anyone know what max waist stretchage for 1967 505's are?

They're sanforized pre-shrunk, so I bought my TTS.

They fit perfectly at the waist. But a little worried that it might stretch 1-2 inches.

I'll be wearing a belt.

 

Thanks!

[satchelbmoore]

^you don't have to worry as much about stretch if you're wearing a belt. it'll happen though. even with sanforized jeans there's a little bit of shrink tucked away in there should you need it down the line.

[min2max]

i may come to regret this but i'm letting go of a major chunk of my stash for $501:

Just took delivery of these, 1944 501 s , 555, from 1998-9. Paid a small fortune for 36 x 36

 

Now, either these have shrunk whilst being stored, or I am now officially a fat bastard.

 

A good incentive to lose weight, but in the meantime I am open to offers over £199
