Levi's Vintage Clothing


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to show the differences between my two 1937s 501s. My personal favourite of the LVC 501's.

One from rigid Cone Mills brought a few years back.

The other brought from the recent LVC sale. Made in Bulgaria. They only had 30 waist but after a few wears they fit perfectly. I'm a 30 anyway so no problems after a few wears. 

The deniem is very similar to the break in period of the USA 37s. The only big difference is the patch placing on the back.

Also Levis vintage clothing site is having a 40% off sale. No rigid at present but desperate for 55's to come up.

Hi folks 

Hope your all safe. Newbie on here but been following this thread for awhile. Love LVC and spend hours going through the pages on here.

Just picked up this beautiful sack jacket from Ebay 1920s I believe? 

Love the level of detail in this jacket

Anyone can help in dating this jacket? I bought it used for about $50. I am usually a 40 and it fits me great as shouldrs and sleeves but it's impossible to button up, too tight in the chest but it looks great when worn unbuttoned. I suppose it (originally?) had two patches on the sleeves that someone removed as the denim in that oval areas is a bit darker. Thanks

Well its going to be 18°-19° today (65°f).. The government is pleading with people to stay home, they know what Brits are like the minute the sun appears. 
 

its perfect weather for tub shrinking jeans so I will be starting on my 1947s.

tag from my older pair of 1955s. I agree with it mostly, I disagree with the waist sizing and soak time.. but nice to have

“Keep the time apart as brief as possible.....”

What does this mean.. are they saying they won’t fade as well if you stop wearing them? Or are they saying the creases I have set into the jeans undo themselves after a while?

this was weighing heavy on my mind, now I have 4 pairs I’m currently wearing in equal rotation, and 2 yet to shrink. My other 3 are just starting to develop some nice baby fades. Maybe I had better just hold on to my other 2 pairs for a while.

They look pretty worn in already so I doubt they'll shrink anymore.

They look like a nice score for the money, just embrace the weird fit!

Pics on levis 503bxx 

they have a nice boxy fit.
