These Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1955 501XX jeans were bought in 2006 from Pede & Stoffer. Thomas Nielsen-Nielsen who owns them initially wore the jeans approximately three days a week the first couple of months. After that you were hidden away in his closet for a few years, but then Thomas started using the jeans while he worked for five month putting up scaffolds. During that period they were washed once a month in a bathtub. After that he used the jeans an entire summer while renovating his garage at home. Today they’ve been washed about fifteen times.
The Wrangler shirt is from Allen’s Boots in Austin, Texas.

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.
