hanon...I know the Levi store in SF and Unionmade expect to get them soon. Interesting that cultizm isn't going to carry them.

Thanks Shorty....

Got this today:

LVC 50's tee. Great stuff!

[SLAB]

I just received the one in indigo, sleeves are crazy short!

also the milky white henley. both made in Portugal, quality looks good but the fabric of the henley is really thin

[dr.house]

I've got the henley too (if we're talking about the same), I love it, it's real big (at least one inch oversized), but the quality is awesome:

And I agree, the sleeves of the 50's tee are pretty short...but I like that!

I guess Cultizm had some bad experiences trying to sell bucklebacks...

I've missed something somewhere.... what is cultizm not going to carry?

[Stratos]

^the 22's, apparently...

Well hell, that fucking sucks.

Am I under the right impression that If I buy 1947 501 in Rigid, its measurements will come out to be same or similar to washed versions of 1947 501?

Washed versions are made in different factories from the raw so you can't take them as a guide.

If they're current production they will be true to size - size up by one inch from your normal post-soak waist. Adn as Roy says safest way is to measure them; MOre here.

I'm sure that had little to do with it. I think some distributers get different products.

actually not LVC, xpost from evo thread

My Friend's Levi's 522 (no selvedge)

1 year effective wear. 2 soak. 2 wash

Yeah, measurements are essential: My rigid 47's are tagged 33", measures 32" when raw and shrink to 30.5"after soak (but stretch back to my real 32"waist while wearing). Even prewashes differ a lot sizewise, the prewashed 66 "rodeo hero" e.g. is tagged 30" and measures nearly 32"- just an example how strange LVC measurements are.

Some eyecandy:

Why isn't there any cute stuff like that on ebay???

And here are some pics of the sweater I've asked for:

I'm very thankful for any further information about this item, guys!

Whats the story behind these?

[Max Power]

Wasn't that on the Berlin Bread & Butter Booth?

XXX commissioned baby versions of their products for shop use. THey have them of all the raw jeans in Levi's Meatpacking store, they are indeed gorgeous.

I actually dreamt last night that I found a pair like that of the nipper's. Scary.

Great Paul

Obviously, those miniature Levi's outfits are in no way influenced by the Buddy Lee ones of yesteryear!

[Paul T]

Well, Yamane will doubtless claim that LVC copied Evis.

[airportlobbytx]

Anyone familiar with when and where this type one jacket was made? I recently picked it up second hand. Figured it must be Japanese LVC.

34 waist pantaloons down to 86 quid on oki ni... doubt they'll get any cheaper...

it does appear to be japanese levi's according to the tag it was made in jan 1993 predating lvc. appears to be a copy of the wartime s506xx.

There is my dilemma. I usually wear size 34 denim and i tried 34 and they were bit tight in the waist. So I figured i need to get 36. But the fit of 36 was too baggy and i wasn't sure they would shrink to the point i want them to be. And i tried 33 just for the sake of it and i could button the waist. If they stretch back to the original waist should i get 34? I'm thinking 35 would he perfect but they don't have that..

Actually there is. If you can get your hands on a pair made before 2009...

Stopped by Mike Wolfe's (American Pickers) new shop here in Nashville. This hangs over the registers. Good stuff.

I was bored, tonight. Found some pics from a month or so ago. I've been wearing my '47s from 2006 (bought in '08) very sporadically. They're my favorite jeans, and I'm kind of afraid of blowing them out too fast. :-)

My buddy took a nice pic of them hanging over the door.

...aaand here's a couple blurry pics I took.

Fades are starting to peak through. Amazing pair of jeans.

What's the smallest size that LVC type 3 jackets come in?

My chest is around 33" would size S be good?

Thanks in advance.
