Online magazine about the passion for denim, jeans, workwear, vintage clothing, leather goods, leather boots, and other well-crafted products and designs
This article has been haunting me for more than two months now. All the pictures were taken during the Gallery AW12 fair in early February this year, but I’ve just never got around to post them. Well, now they form a little Easter egg of beautifully worn in denim, I hope you enjoy it.
When I went to the Bread & Butter fair in Berlin in January I was unfortunately not able to visit my friends from Levi’s. Luckily, I got the opportunity here in Copenhagen. What especially caught my attention was the the new Best of collection where all the well known details with historic references to the evolution of the Levi’s jeans like selvage, leather patch, chain stitched hem, and selvage on the coin pocket, are incorporated into every pair. But have a look for yourself and tell me what you think.
These Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1967 505s were bought in Brund by Peter Elverdam from Copenhagen approximately one and a half years ago. They are washed 2 times and used for 8 months before the first wash. Peter has not used the jeans every day of the period, so he can’t put an exact number of days on how much they have been used before the first wash. Peter is a civil engineer and he spends most of his day in an office, so the pants doesn’t wear out so quickly. The saddle of his bicycle has worn the crotch of the jeans thin, which has required a repaired and a reinforcement of the area with a swatch of fabric and a bit of textile glue. This has proven to be a rapid and durable solution.
