Where to cop deadstock LVC 1947 in 38 inseam?

I second this, cuz I like to wear my jeans with big folsom style cuffs and a 34 inseam ain't cutting it, but that is all they carry in the levis stores.

Nice I went 4 months or so before mine hit water, Heres what they look like now. I think they're about a year and a half into it now?

Congrats I love mine....

you have a great collection but i wonder why you cant seem to get a decent fade on any of your lvcs?

[modual]

Ok i'm confused. I though the lvc 505 was from 1967 and also sanforized. According to this the 505 is 1966 and unsanforized :confused:

seems that description is a contradiction... it says theyre preshrunk... then it says theyre dry

obviously they are prewaashed being that they are 505s, so that dry explanation is probably just a default desripttion for all LVCs

Cultism has them, as well as denimbar. Though denimbar just put them on sale for $95 so I'd assume all the good sizes are gone.

Thanks. It seem their measurements are well off as well. They reckon the 32" waist has a 7" knee and 8" hem which would mke them bootcut ?? :eek:

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

if anybodys interested, I´ve listetd my brandnew, only tried on, 551ZXX,

the cut is nearly similar to 1947s, but much more cooler, unfortunately mine

are too big for me otherwise I´d never give em way, knowing of the best quality Levis

ever did with their LVC Jeans:

I. m with Jo on this one , the LVC products around this time were fantastic repros . Quality of denim , finish and detailing is amazing . I previously have owned 201s from this period and currently have unworn 551zxx (34/32) , these are so f***in good I just look at them ( i have plenty of others to wear !!!) see pics a page or two back in this thread . I am not shillin but seriously I would recommend these to anyone , if they werre 34/32 I would buy tem as a second pair .

Btw , anyone got a pair of Valencia St 1955s in 34/34 or 36/34 . Would be very interested .

I'm about to buy a par of lvc 1901 501. Should I buy them true in size wear them for a while and then soak them when they have stretched a little bit or should I size up and soak for a cuple of hours and hope that they fit me good.

Depends on the fit you want. 1901 tend to be sized large. EMail your retailer and ask for the actual, measured waist size...

more info on the 501 thread: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showthread.php?t=34010

[bullen]

This years LVC 1901 is smaller than previous years.

[hiro]

Thank you for your answers. Do you guys think it's possible to get some nice whiskar fades on those (1901's) despite the thin denim?

[Paul T]

Bullen, are you talking about the raw versions? (Previous washed versions were small/to size, but raw were oversize).

Hiro; these looser jeans are definitely harder work for fading. But I'm pretty happy with the fade on my 1901s. YOu don't get as pronounced whiskers, but you get a good overall fade, and if the new jeans are like those of a couple of years ago the denim is nice and dark. Check em out on the 501 thread linked earlier.

i dont know if its the same issue, but i have teh 1890 lvcs, and they are a bitch to fade im at about 5 months and there is only slight wear, i gave em a wash like 4 months in and there was almost no change, and i was wearing them pretty hard for a while.

[bullen]

No, I was actually talking about the raw ones. A friend of mine who have the old ones tried on a pair of the new ones today and he told me the new ones were quite alot smaller in the waist compared to the old ones when he bought them. They are not small in size as the 1947, but I think they are smaller in size than the previous ones.

[whatuknowaboutthat]

just an FYI, i was at the Chicago michigan ave Levis and they were rolling out Spring 08 LVC. They had a 1971 517 in deadstock and from looking at the hang tag, looks like either the 1947 501 is out this time around or its just not mentioned. the 517s looked pretty nice.

[whatuknowaboutthat]

actually got the booklet, i'll post scans later. For now, looks like we have 1967 505 deadstock, 1971 517 deadstock, 1966 646 deadstock, 1947 501xx in "satisfaction" and "exile", 1873 vault piece, and the 1967 type 3 jacket in deadstock.

don´t worry the 505s are now a bit oversized, my are W30 L33 but actually fit like W31 L34, so they will shrink down to the stated size, I hope!

By the way: I soaked my 505s for 4-5 hours in boiling water and the only shrank down in waist but no inch in length, this is somehow odd I think, odd for 10% shrinkage!?????

[rnrswitch]

Actually the 505s were the first sanforized jeans made by levis. That oipolloi link is wrong, because they say they are preshrunk, but they are just sanforized. They will shrink a bit, but nothing like 10%.

[Rob]

Is there any reason why the new 1901 issue has the leather patch like the "1st blue jean"/1873? Or am I missing something?

[m1sterko]

okay so i was at urban outiftters and they stock LVC for levis..

whys it 50 dollars (think it was levis 514 dry) when on denimbar they're on sale for 100?

im a bit confused... the 50 dolalr ones have no selvedge correect??

or are the ones im talking about two totally seperate things?

[Dex_star]

uhh are u sure it sed LVC
