Check these. I'd say a trimmer cut wouldn't you?

I didn't think they would go up in price that high. Must be really rare.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

those look soo much like some warehouse big E/dubbleworks.. cool.

[airfrogusmc]

LVC 55s are cut very authentic.

Looks like a collector is thin'n the herd.

[headtowall]

Eh. Those are cool, but I like the cut of the LVC 47.

[airfrogusmc]

But my point is the 47 LVC fit is not authentic.

[cheapmuthafukr]

but everyone knows that... and most dont want authentic, they want slim.

its kinda getting old man.

[airfrogusmc]

Hey Cheap you don't gotta get testy. Put down the coffee and back away from the keyboard.

[wEstSidE]

stuff is ultra legit, i think i might buy some of the stuff just to have a piece of history.

Seriously, this is like the 30th time airfrogusmc has posted that 55's are the "most authentic or closest to the original" LVC cut.

[airfrogusmc]

So this would make 31?

[airfrogusmc]

All joking aside there has been allot of talk about the cut of LVC 47s Canes 47s and here is some visual aid to help you see for yourself which cuts are accurate and which cuts are not. LVC 55s are pretty good compared to originals as are the 47 SCs. I thought it valid to point out. It seems to most around here authenticity isn't a big issue but I'm sure there are some out there that it is.

Is there any more authentic repros of the late 40's/early 50's 501 than Sugar Cane 47 and LVC 55 501?

[Ralff]

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: $3500 for some jeans????

wow

No. If you want a good cut for the 47s its Canes and for 55s its LVC.

wow

Originals fetch big $$$$ if they're in good shape. You could buy them a few years back for a fraction of that.

[Bijan]

Warehouse also makes some great repro cuts, ie 1000xx & 1001xx.

[ethanedwards]

lvc 47's are great. besides this thread coming from someone bordering on 'obese' anyways and isn't gonna look good in them. if you like 55's so much why dont you just wear those and stop pissing in the wind. besides the fact that you can't tell anything from that ebay photo about how they fit on a person, you don't know exactly what year they were produced and there isn't any indication they were made in 1947 for comparison. further more considering you've clearly never seen a pair of old levi's you should shut up about this issue. and as a counter point to your whole thesis on old levis' being baggy and 47's not being authentic, why dont you direct your attention a bit to historical levi's advertising to see how tight the buckleback's are on those cowboys. maybe you like them looser cuts and 55's so much because they fit you the way 47's are supposed to fit on other people and you just fill them out more. i.e. regular jeans are too small on you and loose fits fit you regular.

[airfrogusmc]

Man you are missing the entire POINT. If you'd ever seen any originals next to repros (LVCs 1947 501s) we wouldn't be having this conversation. I didn't say the 47 LVCs weren't great jeans. I said they weren't cut like originals the same tagged size and they're not.

[Bijan]

I was young and skinny once...

It is ridiculous the Levis says that the 47 501 is "A replica of a jean in our archive". Bullshit. No way were jeans that slim in the late 40's, period. As far as how Levis promo materials were in the 40's- a lot of those were paintings, and pretty stylized ones, at that.
