How do levi's 1947 501XX selvege fit compared to imperial kings?

[youreit]

anyone have both lemme know

[obsessis]

they are totally different

a 1947 501 is more classic fitting.

an imperial king is a looser fitting jean with a VERY slight bootcut, about 1 cm wider than the knee. similar to the nudie rainbow ralph.

why are you asking the difference between the two, are you thinking about getting both? they are very different jeans.

[youreit]

have the kings, need a lvc 501 that fits almost the same, so the 47s would be tighter?

i think the 1955 501 would fit closer to the kings (by the looks of it in photos) without the bootcut.

although, this year's 47501s are not much "tighter" at all, especially if you size up and wear em low.

I just compared my 36" waist LVC 47's(which shrunk to a 34") to my 34" Kings

I laid down both jeans and they are almost identical at the top of the jean (waist & upper thigh) The biggest difference is after the knee. The Kings have a much wider opening when compared to the LVC's.

thanks s3lam!

so by much wider do you mean two inches or so?

[s3lam]

Hey youreit,

The kings are about 3.5 cm wider at the bottom
