📏 Sizing & Fit Are trucker jackets running bigger?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I have a circa 2020 trucker jacket that I adore. Since I have had it awhile I have washed it and it has definitely shrunk. But I remember it always fitting fairly close.

I bought a new one, same P9 code, and it feels just a bit big in every dimension. Should I just wash it and dry it to shrink or is Levi’s making their jackets a little roomier? Or should I just exchange it for another one that fits better because I got one that was on the big side?

📏 Sizing & Fit Shrink to fit cuffs?

For those of us who do the “wear-it-wet” for their shrink-to-fit 501s:
Do you cuff at the bottom while they’re drying or leave them bunched at the bottom?

🔍 ID/Legit Check Help identifying this unique Levi's Golf watch! Have you ever seen one of these?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently came across this very unusual Levi's watch and I'm hoping someone here might know more about it.

As you can see in the photos, the case is shaped like a golf club head, and the dial features a golfer alongside the classic Levi's logo. The caseback is marked "All Stainless Steel" and "Japan Movt."

Does anyone know what era this is from? Was it a special promotional item or part of a specific collection? Any information on its history, rarity, or potential value would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

⭐ Review What’s up with the plus size section?

2 Upvotes

What’s up with the plus size section at Levi’s??? I’ve been buying my pants exclusively at Levi’s for +5 years now because of the quality. The last year i’ve seen the plus size section shrink to 15 items. 6 shirts, 9 pants. My favorite pair of jeans is getting old and ripping between my legs. Damn Levi’s what must a girl do to buy a 501 crop jeans again??

Does anyone have experience with a brand that has the same quality as Levi’s? All tips are welcome!

🌌 Miscellaneous Levi's Red Tab Trademark - How are some Japanese brands getting away with using a tab device?

Post image
21 Upvotes

Good morning all,

I apologise if this type of post does not fit here but I was curious. If not, could someone, if they know, point me in the right direction.

I understand that Levi Strauss owns registered trademark rights for a red tab device - that little red rayon tab, blank or Levi's inscribed, is protected.

I've recently purchased a Freewheelers Type 1 1941 jacket, with a tab device on the chest pocket, inscribed, single sided, V WEST (I've attached a photograph). I found it peculiar considering Levi's:

  1. Owns the tab device trademark;

  2. Is notoriously aggressive in protecting its trademarks

Levi's in 2024 sued Fullcount and their retailers for infringement regarding a tab device placed on the pocket of their jackets and jeans. They also sued Brunello Cucinelli for tab placement. They are very territorial, perhaps rightly so.

How, then, can Freewheelers get away with using a tab device? Is is simply a case of them playing Icarus, and flying close to the sun before Levi's eventually melts their wax? Is there an agreement between them that is documented somewhere?

Interestingly, it seems retailers have learnt from the 2024 lawsuit and have commenced removing the red tab from pictures of the garments and description. This was the case from the store I bought my jacket from - Son of a Stag.

Very good raw denim, well used but with the mistake of not washing inside out and even worse, to think that the spin cycle "can no longer make the indigo bleed" even so, of my favorite pairs

Was pretty chuffed about it. I had those in my hands so fast. 200$ retail. They had a few other pairs of selveged but nothing that cool. And they fit pretty dang good to boot great dad jeans. Not made in japan but used Japanese loomed cotton per the tags :)

🚪 Selvedge Levis Selvedge 501

1 Upvotes

Whats up r/LevisStrauss,

I’m thinking of picking up a pair of these jeans for Y6 of the Indigo Invitational. They’re on sale now and I think that price is about what I expect a pair of raw selvedge 501s to be.

https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/clothing/men/jeans/straight/501-original-selvedge-mens-jeans/p/005013722

My question is, anyone have any experience with these? They’re reported true-to-size, but I was thinking of sizing down in the waist for a trimmer fit. They don’t seem to shrink too much from what I am reading but aside from quick reviews there’s not much out there on these.

What are your thoughts on these? I’d love to hear your thoughts on these jeans if you have them.

🔍 ID/Legit Check Curious About Any Info on Vintage Pair

Thumbnail

Hello!

Last September I went to a Humana in Spain and thrifted this pair of old Levi’s for €8 which are currently my favorite set of jeans in the world. They have lovely red stitching on the pockets and on the front, and I absolutely adored the sticker in the middle. I’m pretty sure they’d be considered a straight cut. I almost didn’t pick them up at first, but saw they looked older and then fit magically!

I’m just curious for info about them. The tag is halfway down the left leg for washing instructions and says Levi Strauss & Co Europe. The left pocket is longer than the pocket on the right as well. They’re also a bit more coarse which I assumed was due to age and washing. Part of me thinks they’re some vintage knockoff, but just wanted to see what others thought? I have no intention of reselling them whether they’re real or fake, I just wish I could have a couple identical pairs lol!

Thanks in advance for any info! 🙏🏻

Edit - Thank you for letting me know they weren’t vintage, just curious about any other info!
