The LVC Spr/Sum 2014 range is out now, a few bits that may be of interest
Bedford Chino, based on Levis Continentals so no belt loops:

Levis 551Z, the precursor to the 505:

The new Bedford cords are the same fit as the last batch, just different colours, so get a thumbs down from me.
Here's the Bedford Chino - will be looking at this at some point methinks..

The 551 will set you back 215....
Does anyone think the back pockets look a little weird?
Any older guys remember the 551zxx from the 90s? The 555 one?
The 551z looks right about my speed.
Kind of ridiculous for them to come stitch cuffed at the price point they'll no doubt be selling. They look good but I'd prefer on-seam pockets and an unfinnished hem. I bet the rise won't even match my J.Press Hertlings though.
Measurements can be found here....

12.5" front rise on a 30W seems reasonable. Hem width of 15".
Can you buy this stuff on-line from an LVC website in the UK, or is it only through 3rd parties like Oi Polloi?
Not found anywhere local that stocks LVC, so it looks like I'll be gambling on sizes again.
Decent rise, look a good shape too - might see if Cinch get them in.
12.75" is identical to Press Hertlings actually; I'd be incline dot size up to 34 and have the waist taken in. I may check them out in Unionmade.
^ I peruse the sales for them if they pop up. I ain't dropping what they ask for 'em retail.
^ wise words doghouse.
most of the LVC non denim stuff that appeals to this forum end up in the sales.
Looked at them in Cinch, look great shame they only come in a 32" leg as the shortest - means I have to spend more to get them altered! I'll try grab a pair in the sales I think too.
So, took the jump on a pair of the Bedford Chinos in the sales - less than half price too. Tried to find a shop in the smoke that had stock to try on but nada, not even Cinch so gone for what I think will be the right size based on my other LVC purchases.

^ cheers for the heads-up T.
Did anyone take the plunge with a Bing jacket?
Bedford Chino arrived today - very impressive rise and cut, just need a to take in little off the length.
