LVC 1955 VINTAGE 5014S

[KOOL CHRIS]

I'VE JUST BOUGHT A PAIR OF LVC 1955 501'S IN UNWASHED CONDITION IN A 38X38, AND REALIZED THEY WOULD BE TOO BIG FOR ME. THE SHOP I BOUGHT THEM FROM HAS NO OTHER, SO I CAN'T TRADE THEM IN. DOES ANYONE HAVE A PAIR OF 36X38 OR 36X40 THEY WANT TO TRADE FOR A LARGER PAIR? THE TAGS ARE THERE, AND IT'S FAULTLESS (THE POCKETS ARE NOT TOO CLOSE TOGETHER, SO THE BUTT LOOKS GOOD), THE DENIM AND ALL DETAILS ARE BEAUTIFUL, BUT EVEN SHRUNK TO THE MAX, IT'LL STILL BE LOOSE ON ME. LEE 101 B'S IN A 34X33 TAG WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE, TOO.

how do the 501's fit? what size do you wear in other brands as a poiint of reference?

[Serge d Nimes]

I bet you can get more than you paid for them if you ebay them. The bigger sizes are in high demand.

Carpe Denim! (not the jean brand silly!)

what size will they shrink to after washing?

[KOOL CHRIS]

THEY ACTUALLY MEASURE UP AT 39X37. IF PUT IN HOT WATER, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY GO DOWN TO 37X34, MORE OR LESS. WASHING AT REGULAR MACHINE COLORED ITEMS TEMPS, THEY WOULD SHRINK LESS. I USUALLY WEAR 36X38 IN 501'S, 35 LONG IN A.P.C.'S (WASHED LUKEWARM), OR 34 IN SHRINK-TO-FIT LEE'S. THANKS!

ACTUALLY, AT FIRST I WANTED TO TRADE THEM IN BUT THE SHOP HAD NO OTHER 1955'S. THIS IS THE MODEL I WANT IN MY SIZE, SO EITHER I FIND SOMEONE TO TRADE WITH; OR, IF I CAN BUY OUTRIGHT, I WILL KEEP THEM AND MAYBE WAIT TILL I GROW OLDER AND FATTEN UP, OR JUST EBAY'EM IN A COUPLE YEARS, WHEN THEY BECOME MORE INTERESTING IN PRICE. T6HANKS FOR THE ADVICE, THOUGH. CHRIS
