- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Hi! This is a little video I made for fun with my first pair of LVC. And those are my first pair of shrink to fit Levis too. As it was an experiment for me, I thought that a video like this could help other people too, with how the denim change after the first wash.
Hope you enjoy this! Thanks for watching.

I prefer before. Amazing levis 1954
Not only did they shrink, the wash and rinse water were really dark blue. It’s amazing how expensive they are now!
Perfect fit on you after the first wash, I ordered the same one as yours. Can’t wait for it.
Thanks! Enjoy your pair :)
Dry clean 501s instead
they looked so much better before... Wish there were shrink to fit levis that DONT shrink... love the loose cut.
Just don’t wash them
@@raulmoctezuma1331 youre gonna have to wash them eventually
LEVI S 501 IS BY FAR THE BEST BRAND IN THE WORLD, REGARDING CLOTHING !!! - GOLD NEVER RUSTS !!!
Thats true
Thats true
Looks good man! Enjoy the journey. Last june i started the 1947 model Made in USA. Soaked warm water for 30 minutes while wearing them. i love them to bits. Looking at the 54 model or 66 model next next
So in order to have the equivalent of a W33, I should buy a 34, is that right?
First get yourself at least to sizes higher than your regular size, if you’re 34 get 36 and same with the legs you’re 30 then get 32. Them wear the for at least six months to a year, then when it comes to wash them wash them in cold water by hand inside out, used just a little bit of liquid detergent and do NOT dry them on a machine just hang them dry and you will have the most amazing fades on your jeans, Good Luck
how do you wear a jeans 2 sizes too big for a year? 👀
It all depends on how u like ur jeans
If u like a perfect fit go one size up
but if u prefer the looser fit....buy 2
sizes up plus ur jean will stretch if
u wear ‘em a couple of days just like
corduroy
Sick video bro I always watch this when I contemplate washing my 1947i still have them rigid . You should do a update video on these
True, it is always difficult to do the first wash! Yes, I am considering making a new video
I would say the 501 is an evergeen jeans. Eventough the fashion today got slim fit and skinny fit jeans but nothing can beat the 501. The 501 stick to their original cutting which is the straight cut but to me, it still the best jeans to wear and always in trend.
Thanks. I wish Levi's would be more specific about sizing and/or give proper instructions for stf jeans. I bought a pair of 93 vintage slim tapers a few years ago. Wore them once, loved them (bought my exact size) washed once, then I looked like Steve urkel. Ended up donating them after one wear. Now I buy exact and just wash cold, don't dry.
Damn I'm going to have to try that method I've owned to pairs of shrink to fit 501s and iv never gotten them to fit that wall
They looked better before he washed them!
I know they looked good, but they are shrink to fit, i wanted the right fit before they started to fade :)
They look good either way.👍
Where is the denim woven for these. Was wondering if it was Japanese. It’s a great looking cut.
If only i could get this cut with button fly. for now im still sticking with lvc 1966 but the leg opening is still wider than 1954. never been a fan of zip fly but i might just go for 1954 next as the cut is perfect.
Helpful for my first STF Levi's
levis 501 zipper fly or button fly
can u tell me
if zipper fly is it real
Ciao, io vorrei ordinare una w30 L32, sono alto 1,74 cm, per fare un confronto, se non ti dispiace, mi potresti dire quanto sei alto, così capisco meglio che lunghezza ordinare?
Grazie e scusa per il disturbo
Unwashed is better, definitely !
If it’s a jeans , it has be Levi’s and if it is Levi’s it has to be 501
30 degree wash, mid spin all the way to not ruin your denim. If you want the electric blue highlights on your belt loops and pocket edges then iron the jeans when they are only 95% dry.
Wow, those jeans just look perfect on you after the wash!
Very good, I love Levis jeans, but here in Brazil we don't heavy this model.
The dea is not wash them after at least 6 months of use or perhaps longer then wash them in color water and dry them by just hanging them but first wear them for a long time
Как бы не извращались японцы , но Levi's есть Levi's.
beat up converses and levis denim... it never fails man
agree! :)
Do you like way that when a cigarette gets rubbed or stubbed against your Levis, they put the ember out and the ash just brushes off the denim.
Other than cowhide leather, do you know of any other jeans that can take a cigarette and put it out, without leaving a mark on the denim.?
my favorite Levis 501 STF how to order in Amazon..
I wanna buy the 501 (1955) how much does it shrink after wash, what do you think ?
Looks perfect!
I don’t like how high they go but it’s super trill
How did you dry them machine are hang dry
so proud ✨🤍
My favorite video on RUclips 🤩
How tall are you ?
man they;re so pretty unwashed imo. i want to get a pair but i like to wash my jeans as im a sweaty, messy (and thicker thigh'd) boy but im afraid they'll shrink that much, as they're made to
Hey,What different between 501XX and 501Z XX?explain me plz
Z is for Zip so the 501Zxx has a zipper fly :)
@@MrEmone98 Oh! thanks😊
Hi.. how about the leg opening after wash? Shrink or not?
Fantastici, senti ma come taglia cosa mi consigli? Non saprei cosa prendere non avendo mai portato i 501... Cerco un fit morbido con lunghezza corta/risvoltino. Io sono 1,78*74kg
Ciao! Scusami ma da così non posso sapere cosa consigliarti... ovviamente il metodo migliore è andare in negozio e provarli, e soprattutto provare anche taglie diverse per capire quale fa al caso tuo ;)... magari il 501 uno non sta come vorresti e puoi trovare altri modelli (come il 511, 505, 502 e ce ne sono tanti altri)... ho un paio di 502 e quelli stanno molto bene corti senza risvolto
love it. wanna order mine!
as of 2019 not made in the usa -- turkey and bulgaria
Ciao, grazie per il video a riguardo. Vorrei prenderli anche io, a livello di vestibilità come ti sei trovato?
Ciao! Grazie! Sono dei jeans veramente belli, forse uno di quelli che mi stanno meglio. L’unica cosa che trovo un po’ scomoda purtroppo sono le tasche frontali che sono veramente piccole e anche il telefono ci sta scomodo. Ma del resto meritano molto
Thx for info
Mado quanto son belli ahha grande ti faccio due domande scusami: la prima è dove li hai comprati molto semplice ahah la seconda è se secondo te io essendo un 33w 32L mi conviene prendere eventualmente un 34w 33L e domanda bonus è se secondo te è meglio indossarseli in vasca con acqua calda o semplicemente fare un classico lavaggio 30°C 30 minuti e dopo lasciarli asciugare al sole distesi (oppure addosso?) Ciao grandissimo
ciao! grazie! li ho presi da Protec a Bologna :) ... per la taglia dipende tutto da come li vuoi vestire... io so che generalmente si restringono di una misura in vita e due in lunghezza, quindi se ti piacciono con i risvolti o li vuoi portare più corti. io li ho lavati a 30gradi apposta per avere meno shrink possibile per non rischiare. Li ho fatti asciugare normalmente e li ho indossati un po' solo da umidi per provarli, poi rimessi ad asciugare
@@MrEmone98 ah grazie mille ma immagino che protec li abbia importati
@@MrEmone98 sai per caso se protec ha una filiale a Milano?
Did you wear them alot before washing them or did you wash before wearing them?
I decided to wash them before starting to wear. Because i wanted to get the shrinking process first
@@MrEmone98 ok good to know because that's how i did mime also .
Damn! Perfect fit man 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Hey so if my size is 38x32 I need to buy a 40x34 in order for them to fit me like the 38x32 after washing them in a machine?
@@aamtnfndnfng7749 it seems so
@@renstv1039 thanks
Much better fit after the wash , def fits better
Did they shrink more over time?
perfect after soak but turns shit after rolling
How come you put them in the washer instead of soaking them?
Same thing I'm wondering. I never put my raw denim in the washer
@@RichardTheGreat210 bad things happen
I think nothing bad happens until you wash them separately from other things. I made a gentle wash with the minimun spinning and cold water and then hang to dry in open air... another thing that usually ruin them is the machine dryer. So what i did was nothing too extreme from a hand wash or soak
ciao, bel video! Hai ordinato una taglia in più per fare questo passaggio?
Ciao! Si ho preso una taglia in più :) e due in più nella lunghezza
How did the leg shrink so much
they usually shrink two inches in the inseam, so it's actually what I was expecting :)
saya ada ju
Nice one! What height and weight are you to have an idea of the cut please ?
Hi! I am around 1.82cm and i weight 72kg i think ahah
Did you tapered them?
6 month minimum before washing regardless if they’re shrink to fit… the before color was 10x better IMO… now they’re farmer John blue.
Nice
How many oz are these?
12oz and 14oz after wash :)
So essentially buy one waste size up and about 2 sizes up in length?
Yes, i’d say it’s better 2 size up in the waist too, but it depends on the fit you want to get
Fit to perfection.
I’m a size 36 in normal levi’s 505, but i wear size 38 in this levi’s 1954 selvedge
I’m interested in these jeans, I also normally wear a 36x32, what length did you go with?
@@chrisdodson9011 32 length
How tall are you?
Levi’s 501 made in USA is vintage very rare to find and r perfect
Nice,good 👍
Is this something specific to this model only or do all Levi’s jeans do this? Changes seem quite drastic!
Yes, this process work only on Shrink to Fit denim. The Levis Vintage Clothing Collection still do this type of jeans. You can find normal Levis like this in the US market but you have to look for the “Shrink to Fit” model. Unsanforized denim were normal in the past. Modern denim is Sanforized so it will not shrink and get smaller after the first wash :)
Did you actually measure the wait prior to the first wash, or are you just going off the tag size?
I bought them one size bigger in the waist and two size bigger in the lenght. And they came out perfect for me... the waist in raw was slightly bigger then the size tag
@@MrEmone98 so if im a 38, 32, I need to buy a 40, 34 in order for it to fit me like a 38,32
I’m not familiar with Levi’s but bought one recently. Are all Levi Denims shrink to fit?
Hi! No, not All denim... levis made this shrink to fit jeans only for their high quality line called “levis vintage clothing”... maybe only in the U.S. Levis still sell normal shrink to fit jeans.
Having bought Levis for 45 years..I can say I was an expert at washing the original ones. Same for the jackets.... You had to know what size to buy. Too get the fit you wanted before hand...
Shame they charge you $100.00 for them today...
I haven't bought a pair since late 90s. They became rubbish anyway (in Europe, jeans made in Asia). The denim wouldn't last a year. Pity wasting such a great American product. Corporate greed.
@@artur4613 Levi's are super inconsistent. One pair could be the best you've ever worn, the next wouldn't be fit for a doormat.
@@artur4613 I buy some vintage pairs every now and then but when it comes to new jeans I've completely switched to TCB and Sugar Cane from Levi's and I'm super happy.
Do they shrink when you leave it indoors? What sizes would you recommend?
@sf2explus what if I chose not to shrink them I would them to be slim.
Hello! Im new to LVCs. Im buying the 1947 501. Im a size 29-30 in 502 and 511. (Made in Japan)
What size should I buy for the 1947 501 to get a perfect fit?
Thank you!
Loved it👍.Is this product available in online shopping?
Yes, you can find in some online store and in the levis online shop
Is size 28 available?
@@darsanlimboo7259 yes
Do this LVC model use actual or vanity sizing?
LVC jeans are more shrink to fit, so it will shrink around 1inch after first soak or wash before wearing.
I don’t know why Levi’s cannot duplicate the character of original early 1970’s and earlier denim.... but these LVC versions after a few washes bear pretty well zero resemblance to the originals. I’ve been wearing and buying vintage Levi’s since the 1980’s. Still wear vintage but getting increasingly hard to source originals. If LVC could make a decent version I’d be all in.....
Could you tell me how long you put them in the washing machine? cuz soaked levis suits you well!! I love that fit. I really wanna know. plz
Hi! Thanks a lot! It’s like a standard wash setting. 30minutes at 30 degrees celsius... yes it was my first time with the shrink to fit and they came out perfect!
@@MrEmone98 thx for such a fast reply!! Before i make my jeans soaked, I wonder if your jeans are 100%cotton or not. could u tell me if you dont feel bothered?
and, you did only rinse cycle? or did you do spin-dry the laundry?
@@kk-io2px hi! This is a shrink to fit jeans so it is 100% cotton. I did a spin cycle on the slowest one.
@@MrEmone98 thx for answering to me. I already put my jeans in a washing machine. and it became perfect to me. Thx to you. 🙏
It the drying part they makes them shrink...You use high heat. They will shrink as seen...It takes several drying cycles to get them to stop..Then that is the fit you will get. As they break in...
Did you use a dryer or hang dry these?
hang dry :)
หดเยอะเหมือนกันครับ
fit was better after wash.. the color wasn't tho🤕
I really like the unwashed look how do I keep em that way after washing them
Dry clean instead of water wash.
Dang that inseam shrank a lot
Great Video! May i ask what your usual jeans fit is and your hight in cm? would really help me buy mine ^^
I am a size 32 in jeans :) and in this shrink to fit pair i bought a size 33. I am 182/183cm
@@MrEmone98 Thanks :) same for me then haha
they look better before
Why are you even turning up the foot, afterwards...it doesn't make sense
YOU DONT WASH CRISPYS CUH!!!!
I can't
To short in leg after the wash.
it actually was the length I wanted for the '54 model :)
@@MrEmone98 you look like a 5 year old child wearing his pants from 2 years ago. Size up.
Much better before
Did you dry them on you or hand dry
What he said^
Hang dry in open air :)
а подвернул он их штоб быть покрасивше.вот так вот.
Levis always goto the Dry Cleaners bruh
it was better before wash
Messed them up. You should’ve never washed them.
Unsanforized is wonderful..... until it rains. Then you may as well be wearing somebody else’s clothing.
Do you like way that when a cigarette gets rubbed or stubbed against your Levis, they put the ember out and the ash just brushes off the denim.
Other than cowhide leather, do you know of any other jeans that can take a cigarette and put it out, without leaving a mark on the denim.?
They are better before
i liked them before too. But as a shrink to fit i preferred to wash them first. They still look awesome and will look better with time
Don't ever wash those in your life please lol.....
Now they look too small 😂😂
Sorry but unwashed is much better than washed....
После усадки стали малы!!!
Ruined
machine wash kills jeans, bro!
They can put a man on the moon but can't make a Jean that stays raw and crisp after washing.
The after wash looks horrible. Straight to the donation pile
Made in Japan :)
