Hi,

I want to know their production date. I don’t see this label on other LVC 501s:

And the last label is now completely different:

How much will this pair of LVC 1947 “Shrink To Fit" size 32/34 shrink in the leg and waist? truly 2 inches? As I understand, LVC from 2009 were made true to size, rather than one inch under.

The waist button, is it stamped "555"? If so then it was made in the Levis San Francisco facility which was closed in 2003. Since it was made in the USA if it has a different number then it might have been made in TX prior to the TX plant closing in 2003.

So old? Is that pair of jeans worth buying if they are from 2003?

Sorry, I only have those pictures. I never saw the first label (the size label) on LVC jeans made in Turkey and Bulgaria. That’s why I would like to know how much will shrink.

A pair of STF LVC, if 32 x 34, and if they have that brown label on them saying "unwashed" and you wash warm and dry in a dryer will shrink to approx 30" x 31". (The label you posted says "Made in USA")

Thank you very much.

These jeans are now made in Turkey or Bulgaria, a pair of STF LVC 32x34 (without that brown label) would also shrink to 30x31? I think Levi's no longer includes that label.
