It's pretty easy to find historic info about them, especially because of the LVC line, but the newer changes are a bit harder to track. Please help me out if you have any info about changes to the jean style/cloth/manufacturing within the last 10 or 20 years. Thanks! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/1947-lvc-501s-vs-stf-501s-vs-preshrunk-501s-sizing#post-805 Tue, 23 Nov 2010 10:10:10 +0000 Quinn 805@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Hi guys, new to the forum! This great site got me all excited to try out a pair of raw denim but I have a few questions on sizing. I'd like to start with a pair of STFs or maybe higher quality LVC 1947 501s. My question is, how do I size the 501STF so that the fit is exactly the same as my modern fit (non-antifit) preshrunk 501s? I wear a size 32 in preshrunk 501s that stretch out comfortably, so if I go with 32 STFs will that give the same fit or will it be even slimmer? What about LVCs, should I go up to a size 33 for the same fit (I've heard the new 501 fit is the same as the 1947 fit, but I've also read that 1947s are even slimmer, which is correct?)?</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/ask#post-641 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 19:54:36 +0000 bebekbaik 641@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>I just bought two pieces STF, indigo and black color, size 34X34<br /> and my waist size 32X30 ..<br /> I want to soak in COLD water so that indigo is not lost .. I want to ask, how long to soak in cold water to fit in my waist?</p> <p>thanks </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/new-501s#post-18 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:48:15 +0000 Edmund X White 18@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Just wanted to drop a line to share that I got a new pair of 501's STF in the mail from Langstons late last week. I went with the 31x38 for extra long look and the ability to cuff them if i want. (I have a pair of 31x36 that are exactly the right length)</p> <p>What I'm especially excited about though is my plan to shrink them. I've been wearing them as much as possible raw for the next couple months (can't wear them to work -- major bummer). Then I am going on a trip to Jamaica! I am planning on wearing on the plane there and when we get to the resort to wear them into the water and bask in the sun on the beach in the newly soaked jeans. Very exciting! I'll be sure to take pics. </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/circle-r-or-full-levis-red-tab#post-447 Tue, 05 Jan 2010 07:10:58 +0000 501sandadderall 447@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>i was just wondering if any of you had a preference on which tab you prefer. i myself like the blank (r) red tab because it is something that is more uncommon and makes my jeans more unique. i just got 2 pairs of 501xx stf's in the mail today and i was so happy that the indigo pair i got was a (r) tab because i normally spend so much time hunting them down in stores. so that's what motivated this post, i would really like to hear what you guys think. </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/501-mistakes#post-21 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:05:59 +0000 Edmund X White 21@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>I have an idea for an upcoming article about mistakes that I have made with 501's. I have some common ones that will be helpful I think for people to hopefully learning from but also some funny ones. For example, I have this &quot;really cool&quot; fade mark on the 5th pocket of one pair from a USB thumb drive that I always keep there. lol not the coolest fade mark to have but now i know to keep something cool in that pocket on future pairs. Any other stories out there? </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/re-ideas-for-soaking-and-drying-levi%e2%80%99s-501xx-shrink-to-fit-jeans#post-16 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:36:48 +0000 Edmund X White 16@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Discussion of the article: <a href="//blog.nedsferatu.com/ideas-for-soaking-levis-501-shrink-to-fit-jeans">Ideas for soaking and drying Levi’s 501xx Shrink to Fit Jeans</a>. From the article:</p> <blockquote><p> Let’s all admit it, soaking and drying your 501’s is a huge part of the appeal of these pants. It’s the personal touch and the messiness and the smell of wet denim and the looks your significant other or friends give you when you tell them of bathing in your new blue jeans. What seems to be always true though, is if someone asks — and sometimes even if they don’t — you are eager to share the story of your shrink to fits starting with that initial soak.</p> <p>So why not make it an interesting story? Here are some great ideas — some mine, some from the readers — of ways to start your jeans off with an adventure and a good story to boot.</p> </blockquote> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/fit-guide#post-70 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:45:39 +0000 Edmund X White 70@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Hey folks!
