Question abot premium 501s

[pullupj8]

I was checking the LEVIS website and they have updated for fall 05. I was looking at the premium 501s and they had two washes that caught my eye. One was called "raw" and one was "rigid cuffed".

Now, are these preium 501s made of ring-ring (hence the premium tag) or are they actually selvage? IS the raw wash actually raw denim? What about the rigid cuffed?

Thanks

I tried on the limited edition 501's, which is what those "rigid cuffed" appear to be (the ones with the patterened inside), and they are a rigid selvage denim. However, the selvedge edge is very different than those on the LVC jeans: it's much wider. Also, these premium 501s are the modern 501 fit, so if you like the new anti-fit, go for it, but they fit terribly on me personally, so I would still just go with a nice 1947 501xx.

I don't have a pair 47's. I have pair of 66s though. leg opening is actually a little too narrow for my taste. How much were those rigid duffed ones that you tried on? I live in MI and the levi' s store here doesn't have the 501 premiums.

Sorry I don't actually remember the price because they fit so terribly on me that I never really thought about buying them. They were probably $100-150 thought?

i bought the levis skinner rigid awhile back, they arent selvedge, and i like the unwashed 527's, pretty much the same shit.

[LIVENUDEGIRLS]

anyone know of a website that carries these new styles? the sites levis provides always have very limited styles.

honey, you're my religion

Even though you haven't yet expanded

To include a heaven after

Even though I have demanded it

and does anyone know if there is actually a black or raw denim skinny Levi's jean? I actually asked at Levi's SF but the employees were complete tools, ie I asked twice if they had any selvedge jeans and twice they directed me to the vintage department (salvage) ..

DOES SALVAGE REALLY MATTERS? SO IF A PAIR JEANS IS NOT SALVAGE YOU GUYS WONT EVEN BOTHER TO TRY THEM....? WOW........

those rigid cuffs limited edition are retailed for $198.00

yo i just bought a pair of the rigid cuffed. theyre sick. you gotta get em. they run small though. i usually wear 34x32 and had to get 36x32. it fits exactly one size smaller than it is. wear em to the club w/ your favorite sneaks and you cant lose.

Wouldn't it be nice if Levi's just made their 501's in selvage - no extreme logos on the cuffs, just some modern, but selvage 501's? I think it would be anyway.

How much did you pay for them? Also, I'm torn between the rigid cuffed or the 47s.

dude, get the 47's.

[rnrswitch]

Get the 47s. Can't go wrong.

pullup,

paid $200 for em at the levis store in sf. the print on the inside is dope too. well worth the money, imo.

I've always had great service at Levi's SF. Ask for Kevin, he's really knowledgeable.
