The 12oz selvedge denim that you must have in your wardrobe. I always bought a straight cut jeans but for this time I’d like to change for something different. So this jeans is loose cut and it is comfortable to wear. Matched nicely with pair of skateboarding sneakers or leather boots.

True to size in regards to the waist line. The length is a little bit longer but I hope they will shorten up after the first wash.Otherwise good quality of denim and everything else.
I would recommend this model at any time.

Very nice Jeans, but buy with caution.

I have to agree with one of the other reviews here. These have come with a label stating that these are shrink-to-fit and that a larger size will be required. Whether this proves to be accurate or not I will have to see. Also there is no red thread running through the edge as shown in the pictures.
Also... They are quite long, I have many pairs of Levi jeans with 34" leg, they do vary and these are one of the longest.
All that said, they are a lovely jean and hopefully will still fit once washed. I have not given 5 stars due to the poor description and the uncertainty surrounding washing and shrinkage. I will edit this once I have washed them and let you know.

Shrink to fit or not?
- Verified

I'd recently purchased a pair of 1980s Made and Crafted STF 501s and thought they were are great fit so thought I'd try these. They aren't advertised as shrink to fit on the website but I'd seen elsewhere that they were. They arrived and according to the label they were STF, advising to size up accordingly, which I had. I soaked them twice in the bath expecting them to shrink to the perfect size. They didn't. They shrank by 1 cm in the waist and 1 cm in the length. I'm now having to get them hemmed but they are still going to too big overall. Disappointing.

Descrizione errata

Il tessuto è molto bello, ma ci sono due problemi: nella descrizione sul sito non si specifica che è un tessuto non lavato (shrink-to-fit) come per altri modelli; ragione per cui è necessario prendere due taglie in più perché al primo lavaggio ritirerà.
Avendo il sospetto prima di acquistare avevo chiamato il servizio clienti che mi aveva risposto che non avevano evidenze che fosse un capo shrink-to-fit!
Inoltre le fotografie sul sito mostrano un pantalone cimosato con il classico filo rosso sul bordo bianco.
Il modello che mi è arrivato è privo del filo rosso che invece è ben presente in foto e che contraddistingue tutti i modelli pregiati Levi's
Molto deluso
