^^ Thanks, anywhere I can find a list of stockists of LVC. Also, does LVC have a dedicated website or something like that ?

It's under development...

http://www.levisxx.com/

Don't know that they'll be any less in Germany than UK retail. Cinch obviously has the best choice, Son fo a Stag, Drapers Walk, Truman's Brewery might have better pricing.

Worth posting over at SuFu, almostnice will know about LVC stockists in Germany.

I've been looking for a pair of lighter weight jeans for the summer without much luck...then I tried on a pair of the LVC 1947s in Broken Down wash and fell in love...$285 CAD, but found them online at Très Bien Shop for ~$180 CAD shipped.

Obviously every pair was going to be a little different depending on how they were finished, and I knew to expect that, but the ones I got have a little too much vertical streaking/crease lines on the shins/calves for my taste...but still, I'm really happy with these jeans. I needed something new and I had no interest in breaking in a new pair of raw denim over the summer, no matter how light the weight...but 12 oz of pre-washed denim is perfect...the perfect summer jean, IMO. And yeah, I'll say it: this cut makes ****** look better than any other I've ever tried on.

Does anybody have thoughts on how to size the 2010 run of 1955 501s? I have a pair of Valencia Street '55s in a 33x36 that fits perfectly, and I'm wondering what that would translate to in the current run.

2010 1955 seem to be three inches oversized. More details at the SuFu buyers guide thread

So you need a 30. Check with your retailer, though.

Does anyone know how much I can expect these to shrink? Obviously they're not STF, but will there still be some permanent shrinkage after the first wash?
