The NEvadas were a bit more, around $42,000. There was another pair that Levi's bought for the same amount. But $36k was still a pretty good result considering there are quite a few earlier jeans out there.

Check out the other thread: there are quite a few photos that weren't on the listing:

saw and tried on the new "Levi's Re-Issues" 1966 Super Slim jeans at levis today. Wasn't impressed with the quality or the fit. The cut was actually pretty shitty, anyone else try these yet?

[40ozprophet]

yeah the new Orange tabs for men arent really anything to talk about..

LVC F/W '08 now up on the Euro website

[knucks]

i got myself a pair of 47 501xx...34x34..i need them to shrink in length because the double cuff ain't cutting it.

i already did a soak and let them air dry, but they didn't shrink enough...hot soak + dryer?

[Dex_star]

what are they measured at now?

[knucks]

not sure..i didn't measure.

i ended up soaking in hot water +some boiled water for about 30-40mins, then threw them in the dryer. They shrunk more in the thighs (unfortunately..but will stretch out) and the length is a bit shorter..now its 1 cuff and doesnt look too bad.

Another half-baked effort. Wish they would put as much effort into selling LVC as they do chasing copy cats!

[Shorty Long]

Ha...wait until you see the US collection (if there is one)

[Sympathy-For-The-Denim]

the info on the new collection really is disappointing... but this here is cute:

Do you know when Cultizm will have the FW08 collection in stock?

[superBobo]

^^ will cultizm have the cord pants?

[airfrogusmc]

E-mail'm and ask. I think he'll be getting the fall collection in soon. If I see something I really like I e-mail him and he can sometimes get it.

[Shorty Long]

some of the f/w 08 stuff is up on cultizm...It's amazing that I can buy a pair of US-made d/s LVCs in Germany cheaper than I can here in the US!!

Love Cultizm!!!

[superBobo]

I got to check out some of the f/w stuff today..

washed 333s, great hardware, suspender buttons and cinchback looked excellent. Fitted pretty modern, with surprisingly small back bockets and little anti fit, probably because of the lack of yoke.

cord pants, great fabric but dissapointing hardware (plastic buttons, shouldnt these be wood or something?) Really high rise and surpringly tapered. Oversized about 2". I´ll probably get these if cultizm gets them in a size 30...

Red wool shirt jacket had great fabric and the cut looked really boxy, but i didnt try it on. Same with the wool cardigan.

if anybody is selling lvc 1947 saddlemans in 32x34 pm me asap

Problem is if they don't chase the copy cats they might as well not have a trade mark.

Of course, and I don't have a problem with them doing whatever they feel is necessary to protect their brand. But I'm just amazed that they put effort into producing a collection and then don't even bother to show half of it on their site.

LVC aw08

having a look at ss09 on wednesday.

[superBobo]

^^ nice post, thanks for making clear the difference of the "old old" jeans... Btw, no impressions of the cords?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

yeah I've seen the cords, I thought I had pictures of them. They're nice and heavy, wide tracks. Just would've liked them 'raw'.

btw the women's is almost as big as the mens for tops, pimpin!!!

[radical_radish]

Excellent pics and info!

[Charlie Delta]

Interesting to see this "Levis way" of wearing the jeans, it's something I have tried before with my 1890's but I found that it didn't really work for me.

Also, is it just me or does that repro'd 50's 701 look nothing like the original?

I mean, why even bother calling it a repro and comparing it if they can't get simple things like the chainstitch and arcuate colours correct?

[horriblyjollyjinx]

the 701 is not made after the original in the pictures, that pair was bought after the reproduction was made. they had another pair as the base for the repro and its not of a specific year but of a decade so details can differ.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

btw, cone mills seems to suck eternally. probably their fault the selvedge is off.

[Charlie Delta]

That clears that up, but tbh I still don't see why they would put a comparison original next to the repro if it's not actually the pair they repro'd.

Also, I like how the patch says "Hip W L "

they didn't put it there, Nils bought it for his private use and showed it to me.
