Hi,
I want to know their production date. I don’t see this label on other LVC 501s: https://imgbox.com/atPnDXVA" rel="nofollow - https://imgbox.com/atPnDXVA https://imgbox.com/ILeQeAJf" rel="nofollow - https://imgbox.com/ILeQeAJf And the last label is now completely different: https://imgbox.com/AZHgznwk" rel="nofollow - https://imgbox.com/AZHgznwk How much will this pair of LVC 1947 “Shrink To Fit" size 32/34 shrink in
the leg and waist? truly 2 inches? As I understand, LVC from 2009 were
made true to size, rather than one inch under.

The first one that has the sticker, says 1996 down at the bottom of the label ( maybe Valencia street factory?) The second lists Brussels as the headquarters, so I believe that’s before 2010? The third is when LVC was at the Olympic stadium in Amsterdam, they were there sometime in 2010 to 2013/14 After that- LVC was brought back to the hive in SF As for shrinkage- no idea, other folks here will know |

32x34 is my size, and I have or owned a dozen plus pairs of 47s in 32x34, they ROUGHLY shrink down to a 30x30 if you use heat to wash or dry them and 31x31 if you cold wash and line dry. These are for made in America cone denim versions. I can’t speak to the new Japanese denim. Prior to 2008 they seems to shrink more than say 2012 onward. The second image looks to be season 1 of 2007. |

I found these pictures you posted of your pair of 47's from 2007: http://www.denimbro.com/levis-vintage-clothing-lvc_topic47_page455.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.denimbro.com/levis-vintage-clothing-lvc_topic47_page455.html   There is no Belgium or Amsterdam in your photos. Why the label is so different? Your pair are the last truly Made in USA? |

| Even though LVC had many headquarters in Europe, I believe they still made the jeans in the US, it wasn’t until the last 2/3 years- they are no longer made in the US. |

| It' a pity. I wish they will make them again in the USA in the future but it seems difficult. |

Once a company goes public, Like Levi Strauss did, it’s all about making as much $$ and cutting corners whenever you can, got to appease your stockholders at all cost- gone are the days of a private company throwing a bunch of dough at something cool….Those days are gone, but good for the folks that still have stock of the cool stuff. |
