I know, right? I'm genius.

Aren't we all!?!

Would +rep you for the cool pic, but as usual, gotta spread....

(the 333's have a distinct 201 shape there)

Jacket looks awesome Roy! Very cool photo as well.

Yep I would'a repped also but I too gotta spread it around. My 333s are some of my favorites.

Sorry for the dumb question. I've seen a 47 Heyday buttoned 555 on ebay. Was this jean a pre-LVC version, if so, from what year is this jean? And btw (cuz' I simply don't know), are they legit?

Thx in advance.

They look all legit. If they are 555 they're late ones.

Pre-LVC jeans, the Capital E, were a very specific model with hairy denim, generic details (not based on a specific year), and didn't come in a washed finish AFAIK.

LVC shirts also on sale with The Three Threads

I picked up the striped pullover shirt and the 1920's chambray shirt

[Paul T]

This one is retail, the store rooms in Shoreditch, just up from Old St station.

I found a pair of Wrangler 13MWZ, in 30W (34leg?) for £39. yes, £39. These are glorious jeans. It pained me to walk away.

The same store had a bunch of LVC at £62: the 1933, washed, with limited edition tags, in 34/34 and 34/36, plus a raw 1901 in 34/36.

Website is www.thestorerooms.com. I spoke to one of the owners, Laurent, who after chiding me gently for taking photos without asking first, was very helpful.

Wow, those are my size and everything. Not a million miles away from my area either... too bad I've got to go and collect a box of my belongings from my ex after work! Talk about a double whammy of despair. But thanks for the heads-up anyway Paul - hope someone pulls the trigger on those awesome jeans.

Is that a good price for those Wranglers in the UK?

Sheplers has that same model on sale right now for $22.

I haven't been in my local western wear store recently, but they have a 12 or 15 foot rack filled with the same model that's in your picture. Can't remember what the price is, but it has to be less than $30.

These are the vintage Blue Bell repros with Orta denim, not the cheapo mass-market ones.

Oh. The pocket tag looked the same as what's on regular Wranglers, so I assumed they were the same.

I'm looking to buy a pair of the 505 1967. Can anyone tell me how they fit? I'm normally a size 32 in chinos and shorts. And in the LVC 501 1947 I'm a 34/34 - and in the 501 1955 I fit 33/34. In APC New Standards I have a 31, though I probably could have squeezed into a 30 (just didn't want a too slim fit).

So what size do you guys think I need in the 505 1957

[rnrswitch]

You should PM Paul T about this. He loves sizing questions. He would also appreciate it if you did not thank him for his advice after he gives it to you.

i had a pair, size 34.

measurements:

waist--34

front rise--11.6

back rise--16

thigh--12

knee--8.6

hem--8.3

inseam--36.5

i'm guessing you'd be after a size 34.

[Dr_Heech]

I have to thank Dr_Heech for this again.

Glad you like 'em Yin. Those 28" waisters are like rare as hens teeth.

(I'm also in the process of negotiating a pair of 555 201's in a 34 waist btw)

Hahaha, that's great. But I should shut my mouth, I've asked Paul 287 sizing questions myself at least. :o:o

34/34 will be too big; they're sanforized and don't shrink.

If your 1955 fit slightly loose, I reckon you need a 32W in the 505. They're cut trim, worn TTS, an updated not a vintage fit. (I take 34 in the older, undersized 47, 32 in the 55, and the 32 505 would have been perfect if I liked v slim fits). They'll stretch, not as much as the APC. Check out the Cultizm competition thread, you might find some fit pics.

You're welcome!

[Massiv]

Thanks for the guidance. I think I'll go for a 32/32. The 505 1967 isn't made in a 32/34 is it?

Best way to get great wearing is to keep them outta water as much as possible.
