Spring Line-2006 LVC 1947 Fit Question...

[Jim Cissell]

I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to purchase (and shrink!) the latest LVC 1947 jeans? I remember from Paul T earlier, that last season's 1947 model was not correctly sized as labeled, and was actually smaller than it should've been, after washing.

I wanted to order a few pairs of this season's, but I also wanted to verify the fitting beforehand, of course...

Thanks,

Jim

the ones i have from last season were a bit small.

i am currently selling them on ebay, if interested have a search.

mine were tagged as 30x34, and fit like that. I didn't wash or shrink them, becuase they were already too tight for me and I don't think they're even going to stretch out to what I would like them to be.

The 37s from the last range were sized small - but apparently the 47s are ALWAYS sized small, so my guess is that this year would be much the same. Couldn't you call a dealer and ask them to measure?

where can i purchase these?

yo!

i ordered the 2006 47501s

the cut is almost exactly the same as my 55501 from a few years back. these are by the looks of it, in no way a "slim-fitting" jean. quite baggy actually, similar to my APC Rescue.

i've never owned a 47 before and was under the impression it was a fairly narrow jean.

currently cold-soaking them as i type this. i will update after its done.

i wear a 34x32 normally so i ordered these in 36x34.

here are the measurements UNWASHED:

waist: 36.25"

inseam: 33.5"

edit:

after the cold soak:

1. they measure almost exactly 34" x 32"

2. They fit slightly slimmer then before, but i still do not consider this a slim-fitting jean at all. they fit pretty normal now, and i have the feeling they will return to "baggy jean" within a week.

3. my palms are completely blue typing this
