Levi's 501 Shrink To Fit

[Potsnu]

Is this still available anywhere in the GTA?

Try the Levi's store?

The one in Vancouver has them. I didn't take a good look at them, but they're labelled as "special edition" on the tag, and costs $150.

If you can go across the border, Sears and other department stores has them for about $40 (less if there is a sale). Maybe even cheaper at the outlet, but sizing and quality may be irregular.

I can provide a Levi's 501 for a 100 bucks only!

Really? 501s are sold at Winners for $29.99

[dmxlite]

Look at his location: California, he might not know about Winners

And let's give him the benefit of assuming he's talking about some special edition 501s, and not the ones you can find in a department store, before we laugh him out of this thread

just get STF's off ISS. $40 shipped BNWT. Instead of like $100 here, i forgot which store , someone mentioned it on HB.

The Levis store in Toronto don't have them. Sears doesn't have them.

You have to go to Over the Rainbow in Yorkville. They'll cost like $75, which in is a rip off considering they cost about $40 USD at Macy's in the states. The thing is, when I was at Macy's in Boston I noticed there weren't really many sizes and they were tossed all over the place like ass so maybe you get what you paid for.

Speaking of which, don't expect awesomeness out of these jeans. I've got some decent honeycombs, but after 3 months of 6/7 days a week wear I barely have any whiskering and I'm barely getting any wallet fades (I keep my wallet in front pocket though). Also, the fitting isn't the greatest, maybe if you hop in the tub wearing them and wear them to try but I didn't do that.

I actually want to try that...

How did you wear yours? As in, did you shrink them? How, wash in washing machine and then into the drier?

Did you follow the instructions about buying 1 inch more in the waist, 3 in more for the inseem, etc?

Well I'm usually a 30/32 for normal jeans, but I decided to go for the 30/34. The problem with the 31 waist was the jeans were just way too baggy. I think Levis already sizes them up. They had no 34 inseam so that's why I bought it. Luckily I did, because the jeans shrunk perfectly to the right size (waist was hella tight at first, but within a day it stretched comfortably).

After I soaked them for like 4 hours I hung them to dry till they were damp and then I wore them while I was sitting at my computer. Nastiest feeling ever - I don't want to do it again lol.

I actually haven't done a wash yet, I figured I'd just hold out a bit more (it's only been since October). I do have a pair of Nudies lying unworn, so I suppose I'll be washing them soon.

I'm thinking he means Instyleshoes which is a shoe/forum which has their own BST.

[ben_liu]

^ yup, you can find some nice stuff for cheap there.

[Geelee]

they sell them in the levi's section of The Bay, $75.

[dmxlite]

That sounds like the price for the regular 501. The better finishes are 79.99 (or 80). I have not seen a pair of Shrink To Fit 501 at the Bay...
