Levi's

[caseywisenbaker]

I'm not saying I haven't purchased new levis items over the years (or Gap or Nike for that matter)…I'm as guilty as the next guy but I would not call Levis a "stand up" company.

Yeah…
It is sad to see how much things have changed for the worse.  Didn't realize they had gotten that far away from where they started...
Guess I shouldn't have said "always been" stand up.  At one point yes, but looks like not anymore.

You know that's the truth!  And respect to your father for working at Levis.  The one thing they got right along with pretty much ALL of their design with regards to the collect pre 1966 and back is the RISE.  They got that totally right.  In fact i was hoping my IH634s' would have this rise but if there is a fault with them it is the rise being a tad short (for me) so when I sit the back of the belt line blows out and my underpants are on show.  This is not a cool look for me.  The 1955 XX 501 is the best cut jean ever (for me) boxy modern loose but fitted.  You start going down the hipster route with a low rise and it soon ends in fail.

as much as i dislike their denim nowadays…
i just purchased a levi & filson collab trucker jacket (sorry IH type III, i dont think i can rock the denim suit look quite yet)

and man at least this collaboration is legit!
I haven't had the privilege of breaking in IH denim tops but this parrafin-coated cotton top is pretty stiff and looks like it'll break in really well. construction seems solid (although obviously not IH level) but i think this is a pretty solid piece.

one word of advice though... size up if you want to layer whatsoever...

Some 1947 repros.  Probably 4 years old.  They have shrank so much over the years that they are too small now.  probably 2 full years of wear.

Beautiful!! I like how the honeycombs look on this.

Very much dig that torn look (I invariably do, but it suits you particularly well). Now "fekk" those Levi's further, and don't repair them!

Not a big fan of the "sheen" on it but that might go away with a soak or with wear, otherwise looks nice

Thats what i was hoping for…I thought with some abrasion the sheen would fade nicely giving it a dirty oil look...I tried to find pics of it aged but couldnt find anything

[bagley920]

If it's raw, the sheen will probably go away with a soak. If not, might take some throwing around a bit, but judging by your jeans, you can handle that!

Thanks a lot my jeans are getting these little awkward looking white spots on the points of the creases.  I am hoping they can turn out great

My first LVC piece, a 50's shorthorn shirt.  Has a very interesting textured material.  Liking it so far, this is an XL, fairly large for an XL if I do say so myself!

This belongs here, not selvedge but still great looking rigid jacket for $69.

[georgeel]

What do you think about these, from 2013 LVC catalog?
