I think I have to retract that I mentioned Mr.Porter, there seems to be something "fishy" with their pricing, a huge difference depending on where you're from (shipping to), either their currency conversion is buggy, or they have a geographical strategy: where there is high demand they charge more (in this case Germany is being charged the most) - which is not quite right for me...just go with the "normal" currency conversion you people from Mr. Porter.  The differences in cost should only be in the shipping fee.

Shipping to Singapore:

 

 

Shipping to the UK (and they are based in UK I think)

 

 

Shipping to Germany (ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS)..and WHY? (they all got the dough there?)

I have some new LVC items for sale in my signature:

 

1937s and indigo t-shirt.

Can't remember if we have a thrift finds thread...

I was at the flea market this past weekend and picked up two Type III's for $30 each, Big E...talk about a steal...Here are bad pictures, I'll be photographing them and more details eventually!

 

Gorgeous rusted out one...need better pics of this...I'll get them up eventually!

 

Things I didn't buy:

Type II ($400, alright price but rich for what I wanted to pay)

 

Test Pair of LVC 1966

 

and a holy grail...Should've asked price but didn't think to at the moment...

[Coolguyzack]

So my LVC 1878 Pantaloons from Vente-privee came today. Before soaking I turned them inside out to check out the rest of the jean when I noticed the selvedge on both seams were like frayed or a bit destroyed.

 

 

Perhaps it was a factory defect (which is most likely why I was able to get them for $70)

 

Anyway they're drying right now so no fit pics yet, but I was wondering if I should bother taking these to a tailor to get the edges touched up. I mean it stays clean near the area where I'd cuff so there's no visual problem really. But tell me your thoughts if you want.

[Maynard Friedman]

I think the frayed selvage is normal for the pantaloons, others have commented on it in the past. Just ignore it, it should be fine.

[Coolguyzack]

Oh nice. Thank you. I've been through a lot of this thread but 616 pages is a bit of a challenge lol.

I just received my pair of the pantaloons as well.  Same issue with the frayed selvedge.  I just dropped mine off to get suspender buttons put on because the no belt thing is definitely gonna be an issue.  

[Coolguyzack]

Well I gave up on trying to make the jeans fit. I tried to wear them out today but they kept sliding down to my hips, giving me a Biebs swag drop crotch thing. That's when I realized my rookie mistake, size for where the waistband is going to sit...oh well you live and learn. They've shipped to my brother in Arizona who should actually fit them and he sounded excited. So at least good came from it, and the pants will be worn...but damn!

I'm on the lookout now for any 1947s or 54s in size 31 raw or shrunken, if anyone has any for sale or any good leads.

Recently picked up this jacket in the vintage section of a shop called Una Mae's in Chicago. I don't know much about it, but the wear on it is incredible and for $48 I couldn't pass it up. Hoping you guys could get me some info on it, anyone able to identify the type for me and tell me when it was made? 

 

 

Appreciate the help!

[DhaDha]

made in 1994?

You are correct sir, bog standard Type III from the 90's, still nice, though it needs a wash. :D

Bitchin, dude. They look like a perfect fit. I'm glad other people get to enjoy them....

[mf051404]

Nice overall looks on the pantaloons...how vintage jeans should look.  Just get some dirt on them and you'll have that authentic miner look ;-)

I'm clearing out a few things to raise £££ for some new veldtschoen shoes. In particular the Cannery Row Lot 66 converted waist overalls. I love these, but after a couple of years I realise I haven't worn them once, as I'm too obsessed with getting wear on my zillion other pairs. 10 per cent off the eBay price to any Sufu members!

with LVC being sold on levis.com now...does anyone have any info or even inside knowledge regarding their health? I guess a bit more attention couldn't hurt, even though most "outside" buyers probably will prefer washed stuff. But as long as it works for them and their raw stuff is availablr, I am happy.

Sounding like a fanboy here, but maybe that's what I am. I love the japanese brands, but I think LVC's collections of recent years are very nice.

don't know if it has been postet here - Spring Summer '15

^I'm all for it, so long as it means sales/discounts can be applied to it because I certainly wouldn't pay full retail for it! (gotta love Vente-Privee)

Yeah for a couple of weeks now. Let's just hope that any big sales translate to LVC, too ^^ There's always one or two shirts I like, but not for those prices.

Minty deadstock pair of 501xx from the 50s currently on the 'Bay. Price has already reached $5,000. I hope they're real.

@st199ml,

 

they are legit as far as i can see. i know because i also own a late 50s 501. i wonder if people are going to pay in the end. recently i sold a deadstock levi saddleman tee from the 70s for 850$ at the bay, but never got paid until the 5th try and finale made 450$...

[lance]

Unionmade has collaborated with Levis for their 5th anniversary. Included are a hand dyed indigo sweatshirt (couldn't resist) and 47 501. They say it's Levis' first ever collab? Also offering an indigo dyed peacoat, indigo dyed heavy oxford by Gitman Bros and boots. Cant say I care much for the 47 501
