I wasn't aware that Levi's Premium made a rigid selvege model... is this new for this season?

Dude, it was 16 minutes from the time you first posted and your bump. Have some patience.

I've tried these on in person and someone posted about them the other day - apparently, they wash out a lot upon the first wash.

Triniboy, you're thinking off the STF. Not these supposed Levis Premium Selvedge.

If the material is anything like the Premium rigid Skinners I have, they shouldnt be too bad. I soaked them for about 45 minutes the other day for the first time in lukewarm water, there wasn't much indigo loss.

Dude, sonick, it was 12 hours and 16 minutes.

LOL.

Anyways, I'd be suspicious of these things...I mean the selvage looks okay...but Rigid Premium's with a "Preshrunk" tag? WTF...I'm not sold on these things at all.

That selvedge does look a little funky, but the idea of having premium 501s that are rigid is something I have wondered about for a long time. If these are legit i would definitely buy them. I have wondered why Levis hasn't made basically the same jean as the typical 501 stf, but with better denim (aside of course from the LVC). Get back to the basics, but with nice denim. I like the skinners, but they need a more democratic fitting jean that has nice denim that will appeal to a lot of people and have a decent price tag on them.

Nope - I was actually talking about these - I know the STF have the rep of washing out but there was a post the other day about these jeans and their appearance after washing - I'll try to look for it and post.
