All about Levi's

[poly800rock]

i went true to size in my 47s and they fit great, sizing up 2 might be a bit too much, but 1 should be good

Great, and for 34 inseam I assume 36 should do since they'll shrink a bunch in length? What do most people with 34 inseam (which i assume is a standard inseam for many people) get?

Right now I own a pair of APCs in tagged 31, and Im not enjoying the fit so I want something thats fuller in the leg and less tapered. I don't mind it being slim, but I don't want it to be APC slim in the thighs. I also do not want it to be bulky.

So, go up to 38 or go up to 36?

I have exactly the same measurements as you (35/34) and have a 35/38 in the regular 501 STFs. Not sure if the sizing on the 47s is the same.

Edit: I should also note that I have about a 1 - 1.5" roll at the cuff so the 38 inseam is a little long (I wanted it that way)

I went +2 to waist based on Levi's recommendation and the jeans are way too big. The waist stretches back out to the preshrunk size in the 1947s in my experience.

I know this is a shot in the dark but does anyone have pics of Levi's 511s in a chain link wash?

I bought some raw black new fit 501s today for $19.99. Fit is extremely similiar to my SExSCs06, and the jean texture is almost the same as Samurai 710BKs.

Do you have fit pics of your '47s poly?

They're plain Jane jeans and pretty uniform throughout.

Where did you get such a good deal?

 

[2sweet]

Word. I'm looking for some. Did you just happen to find an odd size on closeout?

the levi's 501 I got from JCrew has a tag showing 855010001 instead of 475010001. there is 1985 lvc 501? no, right?

it's selvage w/ big E, and JCrew's website says it's a 47 501

 

[Superb0bo]

^if its selvage and big E, it cant be 501 85´s... I do think thers 80s 501 Lvcs though.
