Levi's Made & Crafted Jeans - 6 month review

Levi's Made & Crafted Jeans - 6 month review

[@Mister.Unknown]

You should wash your jeans once or twice a year. Perfectly normal and recommendable if you want yeas to last and maintain colour.

[@Eric-le8wu]

I have got a selvedge denim from LM&C. Fantastic details and quality! Great clothing line from Levi's! I used to wear heavy 21oz denim from other brands but in the end they're just uncomfortable to me. 12oz to 14oz is perfect for me.

[@mommac9618]

I am a female with long legs. I would happily pair $200 for a pair Levi's with a woman's fit and 35 inseam. Unfortunately, my fit isn't offered on their website. Had I known about Lot No. 1 while visiting San Fransisco I would be a happy camper! I told my son... This is what I want for Christmas!

[@sf2explus184]

On a side note levis denim are slow faders so just enjoy them for their cut and forget about the fades. nudies, and iron heart seem to be fast fading jeans.

[@sf2explus184]

it all depends how many wears in that 6 months, if it's every day and highly active then yes it's gross. but if worn 3-4 times a week and less active most days it's not end of the world especially if you keep clean in the right areas.

[@nonesta13]

Still have a pair from last year November and this year January which have not been washed

[@martinwilliams1308]

How stretchy are these? I tried on a pair of original 511s in the store and the stretch was way too much and it lost the "heavy" cotton feeling. How do these compare to that? I don't mind a little blit of stretch, but I don't want my jeans to feel like sweatpants!

[@kotymccallister5150]

It's sad that people would be like that. "Ewwwww, you need to wash your jeans!" No. You need to research. That's how you're supposed to treat raw denim, especially if you want really defined fades. Not to mention, they'll fit better. Also, washing every time you wear them wears them out faster, as well as pulls the color out uniformly throughout the fabric, so your jeans lighten up every time. Not to mention, the creases get the most friction, and a little dirtiness helps break the color down in that area, so again.. washing every wear will wind you up with a lair of pants that looks like they did when new, only LOADS lighter. Maybe light fading. Washing every 6 months with daily wear winds you up with nearly the same color jean... except where the creases are, which wind up much lighter lol

I just bought online lmc japanese selvedge denim 511(not red thread selvedge of usa), raw colour. On tag,it is written that Crocking will happen. Now i have 2 questions...whether it is safronized or not? Whether it fades? can u tell me?

[@kotymccallister5150]

@@shashankgulati6935 idk, if I'm not mistaken, sanforization is a process that just keeps them from shrinking as bad. Either way, you'll stretch them as you wear them, and washing and drying (moreso drying) shrinks them back. I find it's best to shrink or buy them slightly small and stretch them to your body. But depends on how you want them to look. I wear 510's and 519's so we know what I'm going for haha

[@kotymccallister5150]

@@shashankgulati6935 if they're raw, they will fade. As for whether they're sanforized, most denim is nowadays unless it's "unsanforized denim".

[@johnmichaellim9356]

Has the back pocket stitching made an impression already? It's been 4 years. Just want to know how it has held up.

[@1980VINZ]

The best is to wash it in washing machine with a short delicate program and temperature at zero degree, AND with liquid soap, not powder, that’s very important. About the liquid detergent, I do my grandma’s tip: using a liquid detergent for wool. (Trust me, it’s magical, for all types of clothes) I also add a liquid softener. The final result is that denim looks very soft and thick, I don’t know how to explain, gives you the feeling the denim is better, better quality, more luxurious. And plus it avoids the denim to crease, you even don’t need to iron it. (Not like on your video) This “technique” works with all clothes too, same results, my clothes look and feel even better than brand new, I swear you. It’s fucking satisfying 👍 EDIT: my favorite Levi’s are the 512, they’re just perfect... And match with all kind of shoes!

[@cj0204]

I just bought these same exact ones today. Did you buy true to your size? I’m a 32x30 and I went with a 32x32. They are a tiny bit snug but the salesman did tell me that they do stretch. I tried on some 33x32 but they fit pretty much perfect, but I was afraid of them stretching too much and being baggy if I went with the 33 waist.

[@FFN166]

Hey, I just bought the 511 Made and Crafted in 32x32 as well and I normally wear a 32x30, same as you. Question: did you get yours hemmed or does the length shrink when you soak or wash them?

[@SelvedgeDenim-vm8ku]

yeah ive got mine and its stretching so much. mu regret buying the 32x32 instead of 31x32 pro tip: select a pair that feels uncomfortably tight then after 3-4 times use they will get stretched 2-4cm in waist size

[@chawenhalo0089]

Surprised how little fading there is. They dying must go right through to the core of the thread? Or do you work in an office?

[@kotymccallister5150]

That said, always worn Levi's. Wore random cuts up until 8th grade, which then I made my "fit" the 511. Wore 511's all through high school, until they decided to loosen them, and the 510s, and add 519s. At that point, 510s fit how 511s had previously fit (were a slight bit more snug, but only slightly, and in the calves at that) and 511s fit something skin to a slim fit. Been wearing 510's since like 2013 lmao. I found jeans from when I was like 3 or 4 that were Levi's. I need to try out some of these. I'd want them to be in nprmal levi's trim, though. The back pocket "m" stitching thing (it has a name, can't remember lol) the tab to be red, leather patch to have the normal printing on it (can still be leather tho). I do want some, though. How's quality compare to a standard pair of 510 or 511 rigid dragons? Yano, outside of the super cool selvedge edge haha

[@eosio8450]

I’d recommend you to try other brands such as japanese denims. They make really superb quality jeans but also comes with a pretty hefty price. I myself own a Momotaro and they’re way much better than my pair of Levis

[@kotymccallister5150]

@@eosio8450 I'm not paying 4-5x the price when they don't last 4-5x as long lol. Most people get about a year and a half to two years of everyday wear from a typical pair of japanese selvedge jeans. I can get a year to a year and a half out of mine, and if I'm thrifty can get them for under $30. Typically pay no more than $60.

[@eosio8450]

Kolton McCallister Oh well if you’re looking for a long lasting durable wear, then might as well thrift jeans. Japanese brands usually looks for better contrast fades and some good brands last for more than 3.5 years. Depending on the price of course

[@picanha694]

511 is the best.

Selvedge does not mean raw denim. Are they raw?

Yes, and they are also unsanforised (unwashed and untreated denim)

[@--1929]

unsafronized or raw denim is very brittle and rough. you can almost immediately tel if it’s been unwashed, as it will feel stiff as cardboard. as for fading, fading occurs on all garments. however, the LMC line uses real indigo dyes, rather than chemically made ones, causing the fades to be more natural and contrast better. the best way to reduce fading is to 1. wash your clothes inside out (fabric is rubbing on itself, not off onto other clothes. 2. washing in cold (heat shrinks and fades) 3. line dry or dry with minimal heat. hope this helped! :)

why

[@Hamsterzilla1349]

If they old longer than four pairs of 50$ jeans, they are.

[@jamesbroderick3394]

A pair of Japanese selvedge denim jeans can last up to five years without showing any signs of fraying. Most regular non-selvedge jeans fray within one to one and a half years. The character and overall aesthetic of selvedge jeans is significantly better too. It is most definitely worth it
