[soleindahole]

I would like to see a photo of someone wearing 47's repro after a wash. I want to see how it has slimmed down ,thanks.

Hi Sole. Here you go.

1947 501XX size 32x34, soaked in cold water for 4 hours and hung dry. I wear a size 30X30 in Levi's generally... so it shrunk down to about my size.

This is a Japanese LVC pair though, I've found that the shrinking tends to be more dramatic than the european or american ones, and the leather fading is much more dramatic and beautiful. Hope this helps.

thanks plus, should give me an idea. i hear that it takes a couple of washes before it fully shrinks down on all measurements?

[BumbaClot]

plus,

do u know exactly how much they shrunk in the length?

[adsurgo]

10%

[PLUSsung]

they were 32X34 unwahsed. now they are about 30X30.5

[super_steve]

are these much better quality than the levi's shrink to fit 501??

[adsurgo]

MUCH better.

about a 100 times better

will these 47's gradually slim down more on the legs. alot of people are saying they are slimmest of all the repros. they still look a little baggy though IMO.

[adsurgo]

yeah im pretty sure the 47 is the slimmest cut.

[woejozney]

theyre the slimmest, i wear a 30, and they fit nice and small. They stretched outa a tiny bit. I cant wait to wash em let em shrink, and they shall be even smaller.

Oh Gawd!

i think what i mean by slim for my liking is closer to the legs.Like a Nudie slim jims. To give you guys an indication.

1947 are the classic slim cut. I haven't tried the repros myself, but historically the '60s version were also a skinny cut - more of a drainpipe. I think I've found the pattern maker for LVC for another project I'm working on, and it will be interesting to get her take on the different shapes.

Does anyone know if all the LVC for the Japanese market are made in japan, or just some? The LVC I saw this spring in the UK were Japanese, but the fall jeans, as stocked in the UK, all seem to be American-made.

So I tried on some STF jeans, normally Im a 29x32, I tried on a 28x32, it was certainly a task buttoning them up. However I was not a fan of the anti fit I hear so much about. Look good in the legs and everything, but damn the seat was all weird.

Here you go sole et el.

I think this is a better picture of how they will fit. The jeans ARE fairly snug on me as i am a bit on the short rotund leggy side.. that's why i got a size 32, 2 sizes up. i'm sure if you got just one size up, it will shrink but will stretch out to a normal size. you get?

alright.

compared to the 1944 or the 37 cinch backs, these are MUCH tighter. i have posted pics of me in the 1944 501's same 32X34 for comparison.

1947 501XX size 32X34 on a waist 30

1944 501XX size 32X32 on a waist 30.

hope that helps.

[soleindahole]

yeah thats much better , yeah the 47s compared to 44 is much slimmer fit, thanks. puts everything to perspective. because i thought the first photos you put up where the 47s ,thats why i asked if they were little on baggy side. from the looks of it 47s is more of my pref. thanks plus.
