Who does a blanket-lined Type I or Type II other than LVC?
I make things out of leather.

The PF Flyers Bob Cousy models have a very wide, round toe and wide forefoot. The other models not as much. They're also IMO more comfortable than Converse.

I'm assuming they've done a shit job & this is their reasoning for not contacting me. So why waste the extra cash on what I assume will be a botched job. Any opinions or advice would be helpful. Thanks. If you have advice or answer please PM me, this way I can read your response via email. Again, Thank you.


I had a friend who didn't get his shoes back from them for over 4 months -- they do a lot of work, their turn-around rate is slow.  Unless they quoted you a turn-around time, I'd give it some time before I got too upset. They do good work.

setterman-- if you can find them Pro-keds did a reissue a few years back that I really liked a bit.

I tried on adidas' Nizza-Hi at the mall a few years back too.

I have heard good things about Converse One-star -- can't remember who was telling me about it maybe Farhad?

Anyone familiar with the brand Reigning Champ?  I'm looking to order one of their tee's and wonder if they shrink or it i can buy TTS.  Decent price and have some nice cuts of tees.

Long time reader, first time poster.

Does anybody know who exactly manufactures LVC denim jackets and pants that are Made in the USA? Does Levi's still have any manufacturing facilities in the U.S., or is the production outsourced?

Thanks

All raw models with the exception of the '67 505 are made in USA. Washed models and the rough rinse are foreign made -- usually Turkey.

Thanks for the reply! But my question was more about who manufacturers the US denims for Levi's or if Levi's manufactures them themselves?

All LVC made in the USA is outsourced. It has been this way ever since Valencia Street closed. Taylor Toggs did most of the sewing up until three years ago. Last bit of credible info on this says that LVC is now sewn in LA by a factory that previously did all the RRL stuff.
