I know the shop very well as I work in the same street at the Fred Perry Shop and that is definitely the best shop in the street!
I’ve been to the US (NY) for the first time last October and to be honest was quite disappointed not to have found these kind of shops.

What a shop! Where can you find those vintage white t’s in nyc? (they can be ordered from cultizm.com, but…) It’s such a shame that all Levi’s pushes in Manhattan are their jive-ass lifestyle shops.

After going through some struggles (i think?) the last years, I hope LVC is going to stay for a long time! Even if there are a few companies making repros of 501 models I really love the details like the leather patches and arcuates. It’s the real deal.

All of the rigid (unfinished) jeans from the S/S ’10 LVC collection, except the the 1967 505s, are made in the USA from Cone Mills denim. Typically, the finished jeans and other non-denim pieces are made in either Turkey or Portugal.

I love the minimalist design of the store. It’s very on-brand for Levi’s Vintage Clothing. The merchandise looks great. Surprisingly, in California we do not have such a store (I say surprisingly as California is the home to Levi’s) so I do have the question as to whether or not the merchandise is still made in the USA? In other words, is the store truly authentic, or just made to look authentic?

Have honestly always felt that shop quite corporate. Newburgh Street itself has a decidedly composed look in my opinion. That said, Cinch is far more impressive than the nearby Wrangler and Lee stores. Organic to a point, but still without the natural character of some of my favorite shops in the area.

I think it was reported here back in the summer that LVC was set to relaunch stateside this Spring. I have also heard that Levi would like to re-launch a store similar to Cinch in NYC (similar to what they had with Selvedge).
Not sure if either of the above will actually come to fruition. I have heard a number of US stores mentioned as stockists of LVC, but to my knowledge none have received anything yet.

It’s Levi’s owned- the space simple- but at the same time pretty unimaginative- masking tape?

I hope the LVC is interesting
