    Discontinued Lvc line

    ^ The majority of the shrinkage will happen with the first soak. I highly doubt you'll lose more than another inch, no matter how many more times you soak/wash. If you want them a "couple inches" shorter, get them hemmed. Thanks. That's what I was planning to do eventually, just wanted to make...

    Levis 501 new fit

    Here are my fit pics for the new cut 501's after wearing them raw for a week and then one warm bath tub soak. They're 31-32. I probably could have squeezed down to a 30 for a slimmer fit, as these do tend to stretch out a bit in the waist. I'm a little worried about the length, as I normally...

    Discontinued Lvc line

    I hope they don't discontinue the LVC line. I just snagged a pair of 32x34 1947 501's from the Boulder, CO store (I think they still have some 30x34's left) I haven't soaked them yet and the waist fits just about perfect as is, maybe just a little on the snug side. Reading these posts, I've...
