Donate a pair of jeans and get a discount when you buy a new pair. That’s great, but what happens to all the donated jeans? Well, you may be able to spot them on the homeless guys that are hanging around the shelter, “Mændenes Hjem”, in Copenhagen in a few months time. The project was launched yesterday by Buksecompagniet and ther webshop andPants, and over the next two months their goal is the reach a total of 400 pairs that will be donated on November 30th.
GOODS is the story of well trained survival instincts. Established in the midst of the economic crisis, the concept has long proved its value and the shop has outgrown its original humble facilities. After four years in the basement of Classensgade 4 just around the corner, owner Kasper Hostrup felt it was time to take it to the next level. The concept of the shop remains unchanged; seeking out quality products with unique details and in addition to what has come to be regarded as the usual suspects of menswear, GOODS also stocks an impressive selection of accessories and bags.
We’re very excited about the new Red Wing collab with Berlin-based Burg&Schild. All black leather with speed hooks and the sole you know from the 11″ Engineer. The product code is a reference to the opening year of shop and the boots will be launched at their 5 Anniversary party on October 20th. We’ll definitely be there!
Notice the arcuates on the jeans, these are probably not Levi’s.
What is it that makes jeans so special? The history, the fabric, the durability, the details or a bit of it all. Briefly defined, jeans are made of indigo dyed denim and feature five pockets, twelve rivets, contrast stitching, five to seven belt loops and a zip or button fly. But there’s more to it than that. With a little help from fellow denim enthusiasts (including especially oki-ni), we have set out to investigate and identify the functions of the different components of the generic 5-pocket jean mainly based on the 1915 501XX and 1947 501XX from Levi’s Vintage Clothing. You may not find all these details on most jeans you can buy today, but nevertheless they’re all significant for the evolution of the jean.
Now in selected stores: the long-awaited Munson Boot. Created as an exclusive collaboration between Red Wing Shoes and Nigel Cabourn, the Munson is a reproduction of an original military boot dating from World War I that Sir Nigel had acquired and wanted to reproduce. Let’s take you through the details that makes this boot so unique.
Skateboarding is no longer reserved for snotty teenagers and hardcore pros; the sport, and especially the culture surrounding it, has been embraced by family fathers and fashionistas as well, and the commercial potential of the market has not gone unnoticed by the big brands. As a direct response to the growing popularity of the culture, Levi’s introduced their Streetwear line for the fall of 2011. At first it was only available in Europe, but from this fall the collection has become global. The concept is strongly influenced by the Northern Californian skate and surf culture, and each piece is designed for maximum mobility, comfort and durability.
In this 4 month-update on the 1944 S501XX of our Levi’s Vintage Clothing Wear & Tear Project we get to meet a new side of our painter slash photographer wearer; besides being a denim addict he’s also quite the ourdoorsman and part of his summer he spent in Norway by the Eidfjord and Hardangervidda – wearing his project-jeans of course.
