Fantastic, they look like they were made in 1993 and I think that Levi’s factory was in Scotland.

You're right, there was a pair in ds condition at my local vintage joint a few months ago, i sent this photo to flash at the time.

Yes same tags on the one I got. 

[Maynard Friedman]

Perhaps you two are neighbours!

[Double 0 Soul]

I think they were more than a 5er

[MJF9]

Same size and everything

Quelle coincidence

Indeed, same size and 93 vintage

Hi folks 

Hope your all safe. Newbie on here but been following this thread for awhile. Love LVC and spend hours going through the pages on here.

Just picked up this beautiful sack jacket from Ebay 1920s I believe? 

Love the level of detail in this jacket 

 

 

I have the same jacket, very nice!

[Leevi's]

Anyone can help in dating this jacket? I bought it used for about $50. I am usually a 40 and it fits me great as shouldrs and sleeves but it's impossible to button up, too tight in the chest but it looks great when worn unbuttoned. I suppose it (originally?) had two patches on the sleeves that someone removed as the denim in that oval areas is a bit darker. Thanks

That’s an LVC jacket, made at the Valencia St factory in May 2000 I think - taken from the ‘0500’ on the tag.

Thank you, I knew it was LVC but I was unable to date it.

Well its going to be 18°-19° today (65°f).. The government is pleading with people to stay home, they know what Brits are like the minute the sun appears. 
 

its perfect weather for tub shrinking jeans so I will be starting on my 1947s.

tag from my older pair of 1955s. I agree with it mostly, I disagree with the waist sizing and soak time.. but nice to have

Pleased with these..

Look a bit tight if I'm honest 

[andyrcii]

They’ll loosen up a bit. No hip flare at all with them so happy about that.

I think they look good mate. 

Always wanted to try the bath soak while wearing them. Not sure my wife would be to pleased. 

[vIGGiou riou]

I think they look well. Now they are fresh after the soak. One day in and they would be perfect...

[Richardcartwright]

Just came in the post from Ebay 

seen on here a few times. 

503b xx 

nice fit not a bad price paid. £35

Will post pic of what they look like on later

[andyrcii]

“Keep the time apart as brief as possible.....”

What does this mean.. are they saying they won’t fade as well if you stop wearing them? Or are they saying the creases I have set into the jeans undo themselves after a while?

this was weighing heavy on my mind, now I have 4 pairs I’m currently wearing in equal rotation, and 2 yet to shrink. My other 3 are just starting to develop some nice baby fades. Maybe I had better just hold on to my other 2 pairs for a while.

[Maynard Friedman]

It just means the more you wear them the better they will fade. It’s not rocket science. If you wear 1 pair exclusively, they will fade quicker than if you rotate 10 pairs.

[Double 0 Soul]

If i wear my jeans in a forest and no one is around to see it, will they still fade?

[julian-wolf]

If I'm in a forest and no one's around to see, I'm probably not wearing pants

[Richardcartwright]

Just digging some more on the 503bxx 

They are a weird fit. Was thinking about trying to shrink them a little more. 

But are they pre shrunk? Shrinkage controlled. Would it make any difference on a hot wash? 

noticed this online  

 

[Jimmy Tarbuck]

They look pretty worn in already so I doubt they'll shrink anymore.

They look like a nice score for the money, just embrace the weird fit!

they are a little heavy but see how they fare when I go for the 1 hour government allowed walk. 

they remind me of the pic below 

[bartlebyyphonics]

the fit looks primo.

doubt there is any shrink in them at all tho; but doesn't look like you need any...

+ love the outfit silhouette on this guy... [obs]
