It’s May?! Right?! A celebration of the 151st anniversary of the Levi’s 501 shrink-to-fit. A little history, but mostly yapping and sizing so your STFs fit just right :)
I'm sure these aren't as great numbers wise compared to your short form stuff but I really love the laidback, conversational nature of these videos! Can't wait to see what you yap about next :)
so im a 32 waist 32 inseam and live in the uk, only place i have ever found shrink to fit levis was in costco for 50 pounds. and was 32/34 i bought them and finally know what to do so that they fit perfect. so thank you for your wisdom
I’m not sure of why this has shown up in my recommendation, but hey I decided to watch this because with his full mustache and hairy shoulders/bicep area he’s giving 70’s porn star realness..so I watched the video and learned some cool things (not about him), but about Levi’s. Good video if you have the time and patience for this kind of stuff or just purchase it already done for you.
9:03 Nahhhh i feel the exact same way. More power to them, but I hate when they act like not wanting to dress like a character from the shittiest anime you've ever seen is "boring"
When I got my 505’s, i just asked my grandma to adjust it for me on the bottoms to match my height, and then it ended up shrinking perfectly with a few washes.
hey albert, great video! im just getting into the whole denim fashion thing and i was wondering, if you could share your hight with us, so i can visualise your fits a bit better. thank you!
Do they shrink more if you throw them into the wash after a few wears? I mean, what's the best way to wash them after the initial shrink? if that makes any sense
I washed them in cold water and air dried. They shrink more, but not horribly (they might be a little tight but stretch where they need to and look perfect).
weird question but im a hairy mf too and I was wondering at what age did your shoulders get that hairy because im 25 and I can see lycanthropy getting more powerful
Machine wash them with lower temperature water, max 30°C and don't use the machine dryer, just line dry them. You can also stretch the length of the legs when they are still wet after a wash by pulling them. For the waist you just wear them, they'll always shrink a bit in the waist when washed and stretch out an inch or so with wear.
I know shrink to fits got it in the name specifically but would this effectively work or any other pair of Levi’s as well? I’ve been eyeing this pair of vintage deadstock orange tabs but they’re just a tad bit big on the waist and long in the legs pls educate me further albert
501s are shrink to fit and will shrink 8-10%, most other vintage Levi's were sanforized however will shrink around 5% (probably says so on your tag). So yeah, they will probably shrink a little bit but not much.
Interesting vid, great content, well edited ... but I can't get past the typical LA/SoCal driving to the store to buy just one thing. 🤦🏻♂️ (Let's hope his camera guy is recording ... and holding the rest of the shopping.) 🤷🏻♂️ Luv U, man.😘
Fantastic video!!! :D Quick question though what's the denim button up shirt that u are wearing at the beginning of the vid ? it looks really nice. Keep up the great work I hope you make more RU-vid vids 👍
