I think Levis had a limited re-release of Sta-Press a couple years ago but the cut was more of a modern bootcut which I didnt like. The last time I was able to find NOS Sta-Press was in the early 90s at obscure thirft/vintage stores in non-metropolitan cities (Oxnard etc)
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED?
Sta-Pressed?
Sta-Prest?
Sta-Press?
I have seen all names used and all by good reliable people.
Second question: When did Levis start making them?
I think the style was an old one long before Levis.
Close cut, no-break, no turn-ups, flat-front, different coloured, cotton/cotton-mix trousers are very 50's Ivy too.
Any bod with any info?

Thanks for reminding me of Harry the Greek, he used to have great NOS Brooks Brothers shirts too.
Tel,
It's Sta-Prest, a trademarked term of Levi's.
Get Smart,
You're right about the different cut of the Sta-Prest Levi's put out in the late '90s, they were cut like chinos rather than jeans (although the latter-day Sta-Prest did have horizontal, jean-like pockets rather than vertical slanted chinos-like pockets..

Dunhill Tailors was a fine but expensive shop. I remember it from the '80s, just before it was acquired by Alfred Dunhill. The wool/orlon(!) blazer was less than trad (no navy color available and no patch pockets) and cost twice as much as the Paul Stuart navy blazer from the late '50s also shown on this thread. Maybe the "Antibes Blue" color was based on Cary Grant's blazer in "To Catch A Thief".
