for 1947 go 1 size up in the waist and maybe even 2 sizes can work. Don't even dream of buying your regular waist in this cut of lvc 501 1947 stf. they run proper small in the waist. u have to ignore the tag size. I got raw lcv 1966 waist 32 and for 1947 i got waist 33 but wishing i got the 34 now. ill just have to get on with a super snug waist fits but a little tight than i would like. now imagine i got my usual 32 that would have been money down the drain
Ask the seller for actual measurements. I’d always size up one size. I thought I was a 34 in most jeans until I actually measured them and most were 36. Vanity sizing makes it hard. I find LVCs are pretty accurate to tag but you never know. Bought some 34s and they were actually 34 so too tight 🤣
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!
I would say you should get W30-L32 1947 501 pretty much like STF jeans mostly will shrink lengthwise. I will post 1947 LVC after the first wash review soon. Thank you for watching.
You should get at least one size up, so in your case 36 or even higher. Keep in mind they are STF jeans so they shrink a lot especially lengthwise. I will do review soon after my first wash. Thank you.
Not by much, I would say by 1/4 of an inch, the same for across the knee. It also depend on how cold the water you soak jeans in - the hotter is the water the more they shrink. But lengthwise they shrink a lot - by almost 3 inches. So the best way is - after soaking you put them on while they still wet and wear them till they dry. That is the best method with an STF jeans. Hope it helps.
My 511 is 34" so I've got my 1947 LVC in 36 and after initial soaking fit e perfect. So in your case you should go with size 34. With STF you have to be careful though....don't let them dry completely, put them on while damp, if they still loose you can do it again in warmer water. Good luck!.

Totally agree, unfortunately big brands such as Levi's or Lee don't provide any measurements.
Wonderful review, thank you.

Hi does the ankle leg opening shrink smaller too,

Yes, this is an STF jeans so at least one size up in the waist.
Should try Momotaro or Pure blue Japan ou Iron Heart or.... then you can forget Levi's
