Thank you, actually I´m new to this forum, I came from mynudies.com were my name is Vinyljunkie... I took this new name because I´m a big Stones fan, aswell as Denim:)

Those vintage Levis look cool. Anyone notice how orange tab Levis use brighter indigo?

I thought that the '55s were a relaxed fit! I just tried them on this morning and they were tight compared to my (smaller) 5000vx's and SDA 103s. What happened?

[GeriZZald]

here are my lvc 47 501's at 3 months. i hot soaked these once for a day, when i bought them.

pictures taken outside

(jeans are more darker in person.)

[nothx]

Thats pretty good for 3 month i suppose

[Jamolos Orm]

That's a nice piece o' blue right there. Keep usin' 'em and they'll get better and better, as always when talkin' 'bout blue.

Hi Everyone, 1st post here so hi.

I'm also a bit of a LVC denim nut but feel the quality of denim used has gone right downhill of late.

Here's some pics of my collection...

From left to right: '37 201's (well worn in), '37 201's early stages, 1901's, '44 S501's, well worn 20's 201's, '33 501's, raw unshrunk '37 501's, raw unshrunk '20's 201's, late 60's model 501 (japanese edition only) Raw unshrunk. (the last pair are currently up on ebay if anyone's interested :http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330126904170&rd=1&rd=1

All stamped 555 apart from the 1901's and the late 60's model

S506 & 507. both stamped 555

Not LVC, but 2 of my fave jackets. Lee 1937 cowboy, and Sugarcane/Wrangler 11MJ

Got stacks more denim dotted around the house. Quite a few pairs of early-mid 60's big E's. Current faves are some Red Ear raw denims.

Jeeez Louise!!!!!

[Mr Black]

Got another pair of 20's 201's somewhere that have had 2 or 3 washes, but not sure where I put 'em.

Nice collection, Mr. Black. Detail pics on your jeans would be really nice.

[Mr Black]

No worries. Any specifics shots you're after?

[meader]

Pictures on your worn ones would be really nice. Just front and back, and maybe some details you think is worth takin' a picture of.

[Mr Black]

Ok, i'll sort it out when I get back from work.

Hello, how ya guys doin'? I've got a lil' question I'd like to ask. It's like this, yeah, I was just lookin' 'round the eBay and I saw these '67 505s for an extremely good price. Now my question is, are these fake or what? I'm no expert on details so I would appreciate if you could help me sort this one out. I truly think that those are a pair of good ol' blue, and I would very much want to wear 'em myself. Now it would be a real shame to get a pair of fake LVC's, right?

Sincerely yours

They look perfect. But before your hit the 'buy' button email the seller to find out the actual waist measurement - this season's jeans are sized small (both waist and thighs). Becuase they're sanforized (preshrunk) you buy your actual waist size, but if you're normally a 30W you might be forced to go for a 32 (in the UK at least, they don't do 29 or 31 waist) .

You're a pathetic little fawning rat. I despise you and your kind. Those jeans deserve better than you. That is the truth and you know it. So, just stop it. Right now.

Not a fan of LVC...

Not a fan of LVC...

thanks, you're so useful teehee!

[Orangeblood]

I have a sizing question if you guys don't mind. My pair of 36 waist '47 LVC fit perfectly after shrinking (keep in mind they're a bit undersized to begin with). I'd like to get a pair of '55 LVC, but I'm not sure which waist size to get. I'm afraid 36 will be too big and 34 will be too small. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

[tangerine]

My '55s are true to size, for what that's worth; the 36s will probably be too big for you, given that the '47s run small.

Sorry this has taken so long. I've had to lighten these in photoshop as the pics were sooo dark, but assuming my screens calibrated OK- the colours are a pretty good representation...

Looks great, Mr Black. Thank you for posting these pictures.

[robync]

A friend referred me to this site for help identifying these Levi's. Are they 1870 repro's?

Any help would be much appreciated

[Bijan]

1901s, I think.

[robync]

Thanks Bijan.

Sorry for posting in the wrong place...I'm more than a little lost in here.
