Uh oh, now I've built up a "perfect fit" too much and I'm nervous. Whatever, I'm finally participating in SUFU. Maybe I shouldn't have hyped the 47 so much. :-)

For those curious, here's a pic of a true size 32/34 '47 501 with one initial soak. I have my qualms, but as far as repros go, I enjoy the '47 quite a bit. Not really much shrinkage at all, at this point, they're a bit stretched from when I first got them, but for the most part just kind of mold to your body.

I'm also a terrible photographer so be forgiving.

Here's another one I found from when I was in NYC.

Anyhow, enjoy.

Fit looks great BAerts. Glad you're contributing.

Joe those prizes look FUCKING sick. Are those both LVC brief cases? You've got to give more info about those lottery prizes :)

Ok guys,

I think I'm going to join the bandwagon and go for the 47 501.. but I need to get the sizing right first..

On Cultizm's website, it says the 67 runs an inch smaller than tag..

so the 33 will be 32 in raw state..

I would assume they shrink about 2 inch to around 30-31.. am I right in their shrinkage rate?

and how is the shrinkage on the inseam?

the 47 or the 67, which is it? The 67 is sanforized... so it don't shrink. The 47's that you're probably thinking about are shrink-to-fit and they shrink 2-3 inch in the waist but if you had read any number of the pages prior to this one they would've told you that.

If you're talking about the '67 505, I advise that you don't size down. Whatever the jeans, generally I wear a 31 for slim fit and 32 for regular fit. For the '67s I got a size 32 and could not have handled anything tighter (I have big thighs).

If you're talking about the '47 501, then I got nothin' for you.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

Actually, never mind that... we don't need any more people entering the contest and lessening my chances to win that briefcase ;)

sorry for the confusion.. it was the 47 all along, I think I made a typo or something

http://www.cultizm.com/product_info.php?info=p33_Levi-acute-s-reg--BIG-E-1947-DRY-GOODS-501xx-LVC.html

"Measurements: waist runs 1'' less than tagged, inseam / length is true to size

Example: Tagged size 34''-34'', measured size 33''-34''"

These are not sanforized right?

So cool to see more people joining. I've been obsessed with a bmx build lately so I haven't been dropping in much!

That briefcase looks so good...does it come with an LVC sniper rifle?

wow...cardboard boxes... ;)

Yupz, that's the prize, cardboard boxes. I'm keeping the briefcase!!!

I wish :o The lottery prize is the briefcase in the middle!

If we order two (or more) jeans from you can we be entered multiple times in the lottery? ;)

Haha... I'm not so sure about that :P

Hey Joe, I am having an issue contacting you via PM, but please add my name to the list with a pair of 1947 501's. Thanks!

Done.

So wut's the lottery all about? Do you pick a random contestant-number as winner?

@BAerts - Thanks! Looks like it fits just how I hope. How was the shrinking after soaking, and did you wear while soaking?

Comparing with my stretched out size 30 APC NS, the 1947 looks about half an inch smaller, pre-soak.

Screw it, I ordered the 1937 501XX 32/36.. hopefully the thighs/knee/leg opening would shrink a good bit.

2nd pair of '37 on board now

If I normally wear 28s or 29s in jeans, and I have a true waist of 30" and about 31-32" where my jeans sit, think I could go with a 30 in 1947s? Shrinkage would be how much?

I think you could go with a 30 if you want a slimmer fit, the 47 501 do shrink.. size up 2 inches if you want a more 'authentic' fit
