Yo! What are you saying man? In the 1970s the British Jamaican youth were wearing this clobber to dress up to go to Blues parties with Farrah slacks, croc shoes and woolen overcoats. We sometimes even wore a trilby hat or flat cap in the winter. Mods wore suits primarily but some wore the odd Gabicci. But the brand did not have that many stiles back in the 1970s. Truth be told, not only did Reggae icon ( the royal prince of reggae ) Gregory sport this gear, but many British Jamaican youth wore this like myself. I am 62 now, and still wear it. When in town, I always pop in to Stuarts. My staples are Barbour, Redwings, Paraboot shoes, Yaeger and Gabicci gear along with Levi 501 originals and of course Farah slacks. Long live the Yardie look.☝🏽
Yes, same here. Wore my Gabicci back in 70''s. I had the same colour Farahs to match my G. It was a reggae/dub thing. Soulboys later got hold of them ❤
I have the snowpeak collapsible coffee pour over. I use Melitta Coffee filter and the filter broke twice. I now use two filters. How do I prevent breaking of the filter? Is the issue that the water at camp can be too hot? Or was the pour too fast? For now I just stick with using two filters…
I had a 501 in a green blue colour way excellent fit not tight at bottom perfect for all shoes,can't find another pair, as they ended in bin ,wish a could get another pair or 2, any ideas where to get a fit off 501 that was a dream denim not tight like now a days sad times as levis are to tight these days any help welcome 30,30
Can anyone help me please? I bought 501xx 1947 LVC size 31, I'm a 30", tried the soak in cold water, warm water and even washed them at 30° and got almost 0 shrinkage... how can I shrink them??
if they were dark raw denim they should definitely shrink, if they were pre washed pair they wont shrink much. 40 degrees and tumble dry will shrink them but I would be careful.
I had rigid jeans since I was a kid and even though they are a bit hard to break in they never hurt me or broke my skin, I would suggest to buy 2 sizes up in the waist because they do shrink more than one size but also in the width of the legs and don’t ever dry them in the drier machine, just air hanged them inside out
Complete BS. Levi’s sold out to cheap manufacturing. No way on earth a NC mill would have gone out of business selling to Levi’s unless Levis was pursuing the lowest cost producer. Levi’s lies. They are godless and soulless. Don’t be deceived. Buy your Egyptian made Levi’s ......ain’t nothing of the old Levi’s or America in them. Godless pursuit of the buck.
I consider myself knowledgeable about vintage Levi's 501 shrink-to-fit jeans having worn them since the late 1960s. Before wearing new 501 STFs I wash and dry them twice because they are so stiff it would hurt to wear them. Tricking people into wearing unwashed rigid denim for fashion considerations is testing their intelligence. Suggesting that a freezer can be used as a washing machine is disinformation.
Tricking? Lol what benefit would Levi have by telling their customers to not wash their denim? Honestly, washing jeans would decrease the durability which would lead to customers buying more. So again no benefit for them to “trick” customers.
@@IsthisMike It isn't a question of benefit, it is about poor recommendations. If I give you directions that includes a broken bridge that isn't a benefit to me, but it is poor directions. If I know the bridge is out it is a trick. You still have to buy a pair of 501 STFs to then not wash them. So there is a benefit to Levi's. The underlying problem is Levi's spends its time touting things like sustainability rather than the quality of their jeans. Not washing is just another diversionary form of that.
They've recently pulled out some 1870s Levis from a mine. The crutch has a rivet too and the miners joked that Levis kept it until a director sat around a camp fire and burnt his bollocks.
My wife purchased a pair of Edwin jeans when we lived in Okinawa in the late 80s and she still has them today. That's what made me research this company.
The Bally retro style sneakers takes me back in the days when hip hop was coming up its a hip hop brand very well made sneakers and shoes not made in a sweat shop which is us for me.
HI, just a Levis Vintage one! We do not have it in stock unfortunately.. All our current collection can be found here: www.stuartslondon.com/levis-vintage-m84 - hope that helps!
I don’t understand what’s meant by “burn the garment”. When textiles were produced domestically, I sold chemicals into plants like Cone Mills. The bleach, dye and finishers never had a fear of burning a garment, and I guarantee the industrial chemicals are far harsher than anything you could find in a grocery store.
