Denimhunter seems to be making a lot of new friends from the Netherlands at the moment, lately also Dave Edvards who decided to enter our competition with Meadow with this pair of original Levi’s jeans. Dave bought the jeans himself back in 1989 from a second hand store, and back then they already had fadings and wear marks. He wore them for four years straight and has done all the repairs himself. Dave dates the jeans to be from the late 70s, but based on the patch and especially the look of the “501xx,” I’d say they’re from the beginning of the 80s.

Founder and editor-in-chief at Denimhunters
Thomas got into denim through a keen interest in manufacturing and a love for the well-faded jean. He's based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but he travels as much as his job allows. Through Denimhunters he has found a way to share his passion with likeminded enthusiasts while learning more about the blue fabric. Thomas' favourite jean is the 1947 501XX and he has a soft spot for Red Wing Shoes.
