My 5 month old LVC 47's

[mtl20v]

these are my first pair of dry denim that i actually cared about. Worn 5-6 days a week for the past 5 months. I work in an office so they dont get the abuse they deserve.

The only time they ever got wet was a month ago when i jumped into my salt water pool and wore them till they dried.

the upper ass area has strange wear marks. is that from a messenger bag or backpack?

[mtl20v]

Its from me sitting in a chair 7 hours a day and in my car for 2. Not to mention i wear my pants low.

[6MT]

wow, nice, keep it dry for another 3-4 month, i think the result will be amazing...keep us post it

Let them air out a week inside out in the sun before proceeding for the next 5 month journey ..

yep

[damnIam]

Yup, reeeel nice. They are going to be standouts when washed. Please update.

yep

thnks for the comments guys. And its actually only been 4 months of wear.

What would leaving them in the sun for 5 days do to the denim? Just curious what happens to the denim.

where did you get these? or do you know where to get some + some more info about fit?

I bought them on Ebay. Search LVC on this site and you'll find tons of info on these LVC 47's.

i don't knwo if they have a wide variety of sizes at the levis stores or online...seems to be only 30x32. "what goes around comes around" on w.broadway had a lot last time i was there. if you don't live in nyc you could probably call them and phone order. they had most sizes and multiple pairs in each size

Mauro at the denim bar has them in lengths up to 38... I copped a pair of them a couple of weeks ago. The Georgetown Levi's store was quite useless and only had lengths up to 34.

i found these 501s that were my dad's in a yardsale we were having. I immediately put them back in the house. i don't know how old they are and neither does he. I do know that they are 5+ years old. he knows nothing about denim so there was no intensions in the jeans getting like this. he just wore em to work out in the yard or whatever. I think they're kind of nice though. I wish there were honeycombs though. should i starch em up and see if i can get anything else out of em, or should i just leave em how they are?

Well I am in Chicago, I guess i am going to check out the levis store here, any distinguishing marks to know they are the correct jeans?

will they say LVC 47?

[mtl20v]

The butt seam just went. It hate the idea of having non-original stitching. I guess ill just leave it.

[rnrswitch]

I have never seen lvcs give away like that. Especially after 5 months of wear. Anyways thems is looking good. I just recently re-fell in love with my lvc 47s. I shrunk them down to size and they fit great now.

[poly800rock]

dog ate your jeans?

[mtl20v]

No shes just likes posing for pics.

[cultpop 0217]

man you must sit hard

but you should fix those. you will get unatural wear and that hole will get lots worse and kill your jeans before their time.

and its not like they used actual vintage thread.

they are reproductions.

im pretty sure if someone got a hole like that in the fall of 1947 they would have resewn the seam already.

Plus repaired jeans look awesome.

[mtl20v]

Sloppy repaired or make em look like they used to?

I work in an office and sit on a chair for a good 7 hours a day. Lots of getting up and down. Thats why this happened.

[HEWSINATOR]

I would repair well for something like this. I do not think there is much point in purposely sloppilly repairing something. I have, but that is because I can not sew. If I were to take them to the tailor's, I would not say make it look like shit.

hahaha, i found that funny

anyways, to m--20, you slouch a lot, dont you

[mtl20v]

I just had them repaired. Heres some pics.. 19$

[Stalker McStalkerson]

Wow, I think it looks much better repaired. The ruggedness adds a lot of character.

leave 'em like that dude, they rock pretty hard as they are right now. do they fit you?

the original post gets props from me too, sorry to hear about the butt seam rippage though....otherwise i think they were coming along quite nicely.

edit: just saw the repairs, lookin great my friend. I agree with the above post that said the repairs add some character and story to the jeans...i wanna have a pair of 'story jeans' like that, but nothing i do in my jeans will lead me to wear holes in them

[mtl20v]

Thanks...they also dont look like they will bust again. I wish i had sent them to levis to see what they'd say.
