......oh yeah, here's my barely worn 44's from 2010.

Beautifull but CLOSE-fitting for me due to sizing TTS (were bought after a few in pub opposite Cinch )

.

From Paul T's postman?!

(sigh) ... they were bought from cinch after a couple of beers at the pub opposite.

(I only bought an iphone at the pub;))

What about oiling the leather like patch before wash, any sugegstions?

Hey Doc, exactly like the size XL I was watching last week (which would've fitted me btw - went for £240 in the end)

It depends how much of a purist you are (or a finickety old bastard like me:))

The portugal made jackets are 'ok', much in the same way as most other modern LVC non-denim items are ok.

But if you're looking for something to go with the roys, something quality, I would suggest holding back for a 2003 Aero made one, as they regularly come up on the bay in a size medium.

One came up in the UK two weeks ago - sold for £160 !! If you need more convincing, ask roy6.

I will endeavour to look out for one for you if this M is your size?

.

Yes The "RUFF'N'READY" are the Best one..

Hi everyone, first post here. Does anybody know when the next LVC collection is coming out? Looking for a pair of 501 1944's but they seem to be sold out everywhere. If somebody could point me to where to cop them in UK/EU I'd appreciate that a lot.. Thanks.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Don't know if it's your size but still:

[egyptian]

They have my size, thanks! They seem to have all sizes...

[dr.house]

Thanks silencejoe, roy6 and dr.heech (anyone forgotten?) for your great help. The blue-black jacket is made by Aero, right ("UK made")? Any sizing suggestions? The size M should fit me close (I am usually a real M / EU48) from the measurements I've got, can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance!

[egyptian]

Just a quick question, I guess I should be safe with W36L34 on those 2010 1944's when my optimal size is 35/32 with snug fit?

[dr.house]

^sounds good.

[cheapmuthafukr]

my 33s got painted, along with a bedroom, this weekend

[grooveholmes]

Sweet looking pair, cheap. Way to use em for work. What happened to those straps?

Vin and erk-- great fits-- I definitely regret passing on copping some 55s now. As I am broke now (just purchased some Tender jeans), I'll have to wait until the end of the year to cop a pair. Of course, by then they'll be retailing for around $300...

[cheapmuthafukr]

the prongs broke... i worked in these all summer in 09 and sweat made them deteriorate. once it was useless, i cut it off.

Paul has the blue/black IIRC, so he's the man to ask.

It's trim.

Armpit to armpit is 19 inches - a 38 chest.

Waist is slim, too, altho you take a 32 like me so you should be ok.

THe 34 waist are made oversize and measure 35 inches, I would go with those for a snug fit personally. Confirm with your retailer if you can.

[matera]

did that make you mad cheapmofo or did you wear that pair because you didn't care?

[crownzip]

Here's a shot taken this fall of my old '55 LVC. This was taken before they put me to work. Nothing like getting a little cow shit on your denim to bring out the fades. Helping out on my sisters farm reminds me what a lazy ass city slicker I've become.

[fardin]

awesome , haha

[matera]

yeah those are sweet crownzip, the belt is beautiful too

[crownzip]

thanks, the belt's a WWII issue garrison belt. You can still pick them up on ebay and flea markets pretty cheap.

This is EXACTLY the fit I want to go for - how did you size these 55's?

I bought them actual size. 33Wx36L - measured around 35x35 -

I actually would have gone up 1 if that was available during the cultizm sale (34x36) they were super tight to start with. I had to wear them wet to make sure I could still button them.

Thanks, Erk. Would rep, if I could rep. Gotta spread, instead. I'm going for a trim through the top block, straight leg look. A lot of more "modern" cut jeans tend to get too trim in the leg, south of the knee for me, but I'd still like to have trim jeans. I'm thinking TTS 55's might be just what the doctor ordered.
