No more LVCs.... ever. They got sick of listening to us bitch about how inauthentic they are. (10)

[ThomasK]

As I am not a nativ speaker, maybe I don't understand the ironic part?

[almostnice]

[ThomasK]

OK, so this forum won't fall asleep

[almostnice]

[ThomasK]

PS: Ein Hamburger, wenn ich das richtig lese? Guten Abend:D

[almostnice]

moin moin,besser: welcome to the future!

where from germany?

[ThomasK]

Wangen. It is near the Lake Constance. In the more or less beautiful Allgäu!

Thanks for welcoming me!

[almostnice]

Ok,Thomas,back to your question:not sure about the forthcoming LVC collection -i am sure somebody will shed some light soon,if you read this airfrog,please answer! anyway,the place to buy LVC is http://cultizm.com

they are located in germany and highly recommended here for their fast shippingservice and answering mails quick.you should open an account there(if you dont already),the prices are lower for customers.

[airfrogusmc]

This is a little random, but this is my first time ordering from cultizm and I have never recieved faster shipping or better service. I ordered a pair of LVC on monday night and I got them this morning(wednesday). I was skeptical about how good their service was, but I'm absolutely blown away.

Hes the MAN..

I don't buy from anyone else...

He can get stuff that not on his site sometimes. He is great. I order on say a Monday and they'll be here Wednesday (US) AMAZING...

[ThomasK]

OK, thanks. I though have one question. Why are e.g. the 1947s at cultizm pricier than at the Levi's online Store. There, the 1947s cost 150 bugs. Or is there a difference between those?

I once bought a 1947 vintage 501 with big E and redline for 90 GB Pounds. Maybe 120 USD.

Why should Levi's discontinue them? This would be very..well...I don't know^^

as i said,if you open an account,the prices are lower.it would help if you post a link to the levis store item.

[ThomasK]

Oh. Well, i think it's my fault. Its the GB store and GBP. So 135 pounds should equal the 179 USD at cultizm.

Here the link

[pomata]

hey guys! how are Pomata's 55s? I would love to see some pics now!

Any progress?

cheers

[blm14]

been wearing mine instead of the samurais (during the repair). Still no washes yet. They're fading pretty nicely considering how little I've worn them...

[ThomasK]

so let's hope, that Levis will produce them in the future....

[almostnice]

AND:as you are from germany,its much easier to complain if you are not satisfied.Dejan,the owner of cultizm,is great to deal with.i wasnt once satisfied with a pair of redwings,and he sended me a new pair of my choice,let me keeping the fault ones for nothing ( which are now my beloved everyday boots-GTs 9011)!

[almostnice]

so let's hope, that Levis will produce them in the future....

sorry for too much advertising for Dejan,but if you have any doubts,why dont you just order now? to be honest,as the 47 is a LVC bestseller,i am pretty sure they will be widely available in the future.

not sue about the US though..

Never thought I'd be interested in buying a pair of pre stressed jeans, but them 333's are too cool - very antiquated look. I ran across those at cali while searching for '01's in my size. Btw, I've sent caliroots and oki-ni emails for special size requests a couple of days ago, but they have yet to respond. I giave up on them and sent Cultizm an email request today for '01. Does this Dejan dude have a separate email address that I should've used or will he get my note at the reg. email address posted at their site - I addressed my reguest to Dejan? Seems like actual measured w31 x L34 is impossible to find in any model.

What is the best way to get a brighter colour out of a new and unworn 501 1947 rigid dry jeans? Washing or Soaking or both?

[erk]

the deep dark indigo color of the 1947s is one of the best parts of the jeans. I would enjoy it while it lasts.

but if you wanna go ahead and make it lighter, then wash them.

[erk]

crosspost from evo thread

thought I'd post these here for reference:

1937 501 - worn since january 09 in rotation with s5000vx

denim porn

easily my favorite denim from LVC that i've experience so far. Its light which is good for summer and the texture is mesmerizing with all sorts of streakiness and tasteful slubs.

the fit is great too. even girlfriend approved which says a lot for a repro denim from the 30s.

[RRLselvageDenim]

Got my new LVC 44501 japan edition today in the mail. I'm gonna wear it raw all the way and will post pics of it at the 3 month mark.

not sure about your style/attitude ,but if you had ask this in the 80's the answer would be DOMESTOS:

hope you can take a joke.

[simontuntelder]

Just a quick question on wearing unsanforized jeans raw (ie without soaking them or washing them). Would wearing them raw cause them to stretch more in the waist?

I have ordered a pair of 1954 501zxx and I am thinking about wearing them raw without washing them - ever.

Hope someone can fill me in on this.

Has anybody found any good deals on LVC on this summer sale btw?
