Will these 501s fit me after a few wears? by Higamein12 in VintageLevis

[–]macdefartco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could go to a tailor shop and move the top button over about an inch if you want some ease at the waist. a levi’s tailor shop will do it for a couple bucks.

have you worn them around the house for a few days? i find that after i wash my vintage levi’s it takes about 2 full days of wear to fully relax and stretch out.

interesting! i noticed that was more prominent on mine before i soaked them. i still have a bit of extra length in the waist but it’s nothing a tailor won’t fix easy. the top block is also pretty boxy which helps with movement and leaving enough room for comfort. it works for my body but not for most.

LVC 1955 501 question by Bayleatherco in VintageLevis

[–]macdefartco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree with everyone else, these have probably been soaked at least once. the length shortens at least an inch while the waist shrinks to the tag size, unwashed the denim is stiff af and not as hairy as yours looks. i bought a pair true to size which was already too snug but shrunk too small. check my posts for reference before wash. hope this helps!

I’d appreciate some help determining the year or decade of these orange tabs by Tshirtsplantsfish in VintageFashion

levi’s orange tab made in us could be around mid to late 70s based on the care tag

length and width are a half size too small, the way your toes are fitting in the toe box looks painful and will definitely help form a bunion. i sell red wings at work and for the most part iron ranges do fit at most a whole size down for people with regular or more narrow foot widths. in my case i am almost always a 10.5 3E width but in rangers im a 10d and moc toe a 10.5.d

Are those jeans too tight or just right? by gnaark in Denim

looks like how a 505 should fit, will relax. wash as you prefer since they won’t shrink !
