Levis 501 new fit

[streetminimal]

I think I saw a pair of those on urban outfitters but it can't be shipped internationally for some reason.

I tried a couple of pairs and I'm not really liking mine. I think I like the old ones better. Well, it's just me.

In Vienna earlier this summer, 501s were 100 Euro for 90% of them, with a few older pairs going for around 65. They had awesome red ones though!

Also, Chuck Taylor high tops were like 70 Euro, **** is insane.

What did they do to the wash on these? They are designed to fade quickly. Not sure if I like the look of quick-fade jeans. It's not as bad as pre-distressed, but something about the wash is a little weird. I have a pair of black ones where, even after a few washes, the dye comes off on my skin if I've been sweating from skating.

Same here in The Netherlands, that's why I mostly buy my jeans/shoes/shirts online from the US or UK

Anybody know if this pair is shrink to fit (http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp...194290.3265795)?
I emailed them but no response. They might be a good substitute for some 1947's.

I was just looking at these - they aren't STF. You can get 40% off regular price coupon on one of the coupon sites that should work.

Thanks. The 40% off coupon makes these seem like a good deal. What's the denim like? Do you think it will fade well?

Click on the 15% off then enter ACTIVE2010 at checkout and you'll get 40% on top of the 15%.
They'll probably fade fine, but others may speak to that with more insight - I try not to fade them.

I ordered a pair with the 40% off survey link. I had emailed my question about sizing, the XX, etc...

The response I got 2 days later.

"Samantha here from Levi's(R). Thanks for checking in with us.

The Levi(R) 501(R) Rigid Selvedge is a pre-washed jean. The sizes shown are true to size and only recommend getting a bigger size for a more relaxed look.

If there's anything else we can help you with, be sure to email us back or give us a call at 1-800-USA-LEVI Monday - Friday from 6:00am - 4:30pm Pacific Time.

Thanks again,

In the description its says its washed but after opening the package up at lunch today they are pretty dark and stiff so maybe they're just sanfordized? I haven't bought raw since high school in the mid 80s so I can't tell the difference. I tried on some STFs a while back and these "feel" the same.
