LVC Japan 1947 501 (12 months)
These are a remake/re-edition of the 1947 Levis 501 - which some believe to be the most classic Levis model. I got these in the Levis Parco store in Shibuya. I've worn them about 8 months.
Sometimes people will refer to old Levis as "Big E" because the red tag on the back pocket features the LEVIS word with a captial "E". This was changed to a lower case "e", LeVIS in the 70s.
The fabric is nice and slubby. The cut is probably a bit too slim (or perhaps I should've sized up) with virtually no slack in the thighs of my skinny legs. I do wonder if the USA made LVC1947s are this slim.
Retrospective Thoughts
I find that the denim of these isn't dense/tight enough. There is a fair amount of stretch to the fabric. Perhaps if I had got a larger size it would've made a difference.

my favorite.
The USA made lvc 1947 are quite slim, as are yours. Having had a few of these in the past, you have to soak/wash them 5-6 times (at least 1-2 of these hot water) before they feel right. After this the denim weave tightens up, and the fit (and fading) get a lot better.
