Lvc 505 (kaihara denim)

[Facini]

That kaihara 505 fabric is such a stubborn fader, it’s crazy. I’ve worn my to pieces and it’s like it’s not really poaaible to get them to that true light blue state all round

fresh from the 90s:

but what is a 1963 famous for? loosing the "every garment guaranteed"?  

[Maynard Friedman]

Apart from being inside out, the only distinctive/unique design feature I can see on this pair is the offset belt loop. I would assume these 63s are based on the LVC 55 model, which would also cover this period but I can’t tell if they have hidden rivets so may, in fact, be more 66-like.

I’m sure LVC did an inside out pair a few years back too. Anyway, they’re more gimmicky than Naked & Famous.

That actually occurred in 1962, Lvc did the usual historical tweak so ...

@Sympathy-For-The-Denim The model doesn't look extremely happy to be in those jeans lol

This popped up on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394085262327, did the type ever have a paper patch?

[Mongmeohotdau814]

does anyone know of a site that currently sells a 1966, or 1947 pair of lvcs for a low price?

[JMS]

@Mongmeohotdau814 Hinoya because of the weak Yen will likely be your best yet.

[Mongmeohotdau814]

there are some sites in canada or uk that sell them cheaper, but last year after i bought a couple of pairs it was out of stock,

[Mongmeohotdau814]

here is an example, someone in this section gave me instructions

[Mongmeohotdau814]

does anyone have a guide for me, i currently have a pair of 1954zxx size 34 x 34, it shrinks to fit, now, i want to go for 1 pair of 1937, which size should i go for? .. pl help me

[andyrcii]

My 1890’s after their 3rd wash. 220 wears. 
 

these have been really fast faders, the sun has faded them more than washing! No, it must have been all that dirt and muck I rubbed into them to make them Caliico miner jeans.

insane to see how dark they were when new now.

Does anyone know what the heck I have here? I have been a fan of LVC stuff for several years now but I have nowhere near the breadth of knowledge of many of you here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A pair of 1937 and I think it's a sample pair.

[Maynard Friedman]

Yes, b_F’s correct - 1937s in either used or pre-washed condition,

^ Good spot! Sample pair/seconds/fakes - who knows?!

That's why I suggested a sample pair. Often the details are not totally correct.

 

edit: even less than usual LVC

Thanks for the input. Sample sounds right as it's from a LVC lot I purchased from the family of someone who worked for Levi's. 

[Maynard Friedman]

SAMPLe PAIR.

Lol that would take a minute. There's about 20 pairs of jeans and some other random stuff.

But I'd be happy to post some more if there's interest here. 

[zHugh]

Okay, here are a couple of limited edition pieces. 

[andyrcii]

fit check: S and M sizes of the type 1 jacket. I’m leaning towards the S. how much do these jackets shrink? Thoughts?

The sleeves on the S still reach to the ends of my arms with both arms outstretched as far as I can reach.

 
 

 

[Maynard Friedman]

I don’t know how much they shrink and how snug/fitted you’ll want to wear it but I’d say get the M and give it a hot wash.

[andyrcii]

I think I’m starting to agree with you.. 60° wash could get it right
