Are these going to be similar to the Euro Levi's K1 trousers?

"Nietzsche is Dead" - God

[Shorty Long]

I think in the US, the limited-edition piece will be the 1879 501s, and they'll come in an antique-style box

i'm not familiar with the "k1's" but these didn't look like chinos...they look to be a dark color as well...i'm anxious for details on this one as well

[Paul T]

I'm certain there's a 1944 501 in addition to the ones Purest listed, and there might be a women's 701 1944 too (i had the booklet but can't find it). Duffel bag is for the 1944s (I think with the washed version) and a green wartime tee-shirt; there will be a small exhibition about the war/ wartime Levi's at Cinch in London - so I suspect they will be UK-only. The 1879 jeans (washed and rigid) will be available in the UK, and it wouldn't surprise me if the washed version is Ltd Edtn too. The generic theme of the collection is GIs and Mods...

[Shorty Long]

The US collection is completely different. The theme is the 1930s..."Velvet Curtain" or something like that.

are these from the new us collection?

they seem to like the 646s - they seems to be a version of them in every collection. I don't think the've ever been done in the EU

They're either from this past spring US collection, or the upcoming fall US collection.

I was just told by Levi that the 1940s plaid wool shirt and the 1930s lenox lounge tee would not be available...bummer.

Why the hell do they come up with a collection, print the items in the booklet and then don't even make 3 or 4 pieces available?

It always seems to be the things I want as well...I guess that's why I sound so bitter.
