Anyone know how are the made in turkey 517 big E LVC? I can find some made in Japan and more recent made in turkey 517 ones on Buyee, wonder if I should have strong preference

Those jeans are dry and will usually shrink 1 inch after washing. Dry or raw denim will always measure larger than the number listed on the tag. You might be able to find a pair of 1 wash or rinsed if you look around enough.

I like the 517 rigid jeans -I'll probably think about buying a pair too.

Just picked up this black jacket super cheap. Looks grey in the photo but that's the lighting. It has a brown tab which I've not seen before. Wondering if it's fake? Not too bothered as it didn't cost much. The quality seems on a par with genuine levis stuff I have though.

That brown tab looks like faded red. Is the back of it the same color?

 

[Fenners81]

Yep, same colour on both sides. I don't think it's faded. This may have confirmed my suspicions about it being fake though, assuming brown tags don't exist.

Sorry, please check attached pictures.
I have LVC 1933 and 1937 everything cleane. Also, LVC 1890 miusa looks much better.

they difference is the one doesn't use overlock stitches to bind the cut allowance so it ravels a bit at the edge .

the pantaloon model does the same thing except on that one they actually taper into the selvedge . i'm guessing it's b/c the original versions didn't use overlock stitches .

the overlock machine was invented ~1880 so it maps

Can someone advise on sizing for the LVC 1953 Type II jacket? This is a medium (40), which is one size up from my usual small. Will it shrink down to fit with a warm soak? The arms are my area of concern....
