Vintage Lvc ephemera, all from the earlier Levis Vintage Clothing era, 1996-2005. Apart from the flashers, waist labels and booklets, there are some early promo/info cards which were apparently available to retailers in the first wave of repros from Levi's back in 1996. There's also a remembrance day promo offer from Cinch in London for this WW2 jeans, tee and duffle bag.

Thank you so much, both! Actually, I'm going to continue making jeans in the UK for the foreseeable future- it's the seasonal things that will be coming through made in the US. I have a lot of denim fabric in stock in England, and this way I can keep repeat orders of jeans going there while doing the more hands-on stuff here. It's all still shaking out, but I really appreciate the enthusiasm. Michael, best of luck with the move, and AlienToy indeed! I'm very excited to be starting up with Today- they seem to be lovely people and it's a great store. I mentioned this in the newsletter too, but how's this for a beautiful colour?! purple logwood on very fine yarn cotton Mackintosh:

This is the latest 1101 with a new denim worn just enough to show the fading. This denim feels more true to a Big E 501 than previous versions where a 1930s banner denim was used on a 60s/70s Big E model. This denim really reminds me of what I’ve seen on 70s Type 3 jackets, and I wish I picked up one of the Warehouse models

When I was younger (and slimmer) I too liked Kayaking, mentioned this as part of a conversation to my partner when we were first dating. Next thing he's gone and bought plans for kayaks and a whole lot of fancy marine ply, we spent the next 9 months building kayaks. Have to say it was a great test of the relationship, seeing how each other dealt with problem solving, following instructions, communicating etc. It was when the ROY comp was on so there were loads of pics of me looking all capable and woodcraftery. I really hate sanding. Still in the relationship, no longer kayak, think the neighbours cat sleeps on them.7 points

This'll make you laugh @ATWM .. a English friend of mine has been living in Killarney for the last 10yrs, he lives in a converted outbuilding on a remote farm in the middle of their National park and works as a mountain leader, guide ect.. most of the folks he takes out are American tourists visiting Ireland.. one Saturday i called him at 1pm.. the phone rang for ages until he eventually picked up "hellloooo" i said, shit man, you sound like you've just woken up?.. "yep you've just got me out of bed" .. i said, what the hell, it's 1pm and i know you have no social life.. Turns out he had a booking to take an American couple kayaking on one of the lakes.. he asked if they'd done it before and they said "yes when we were a bit slimmer".. they were both 300lbs+ it took him a while to even get them in the kayaks.. 500m out she capsized, her huband tried to help her get back in the kayak and he capsized too so my friend told them both to just float on their lifejackets, he towed both their kayaks to shore.. then swam back out and swam in pulling the women.. then swam out again to rescue the man.. got home exhausted and went straight back to bed4 points

^ I mean in YT’s defense no one ever came out for the better having watched ‘Merican tourists go dining on local fare. I mean what sort of free time do you have!? In seriousness though, this is the last internet community I’m a part of - other than a bunch group text messages with people in my outside of computers real life - probably why I comment so damn much these days. I’ve deleted everything else and it was an adjustment at first but I’d do it 10 out of 10 times. It’s becoming more and more of a wasteland, the early internet is essentially gone to my mind, so I try to just move on when I’ve got the presence of mind to do so.4 points

I thought we’d made it clear that the Levi’s and/or third party factories don’t make the denim or any of the other materials, they simply use them to make the jeans. In most cases US-made LVC jeans use Cone denim, although some of the earlier models have used Japanese denim. I think the White Oak label was only added to the later pairs from something like 2015 or 2016, I’m not sure of the date. I hope that all makes sense now.3 points

My ex wife used to get me to download music for her via limewire and burn to cd etc I used to randomly add stuff like Sioux tribal chanting or obscure pan pipe music to the playlists to wind her up. My 2 eldest kids, now adults, still laugh about how much it wound her up when it came on half way through a 90s R&B playlist!3 points

since for me everything started with LVC, no wonder they are among my oldest repros: 1950s Sawtooth Shirt, notice the long, what I would call front skirts / tails. I couldn't find out the purpose (maybe for bending backwards while on a Rodeo-Horse back) of it, since one would instinctively think that the back part should be longer, which is not uncommon for other vintage / antique shirt's... however this detail makes them a little less wearable untucked. This shirt was one of 4 deadstock shirts which a had the fortune of to acquire along with a rather large stash of deadstock Valencia Street Era 1955s 501xx repros a few years back... in time I have to post those too.

Hi all, For those that don't know me, I spent the last 3.5 years or so working at Son of a Stag/Soldier blue in London, UK. If any of you had any repairs done by them during that period, it's very likely to have done by me. I've now left SoaS and have moved down to the Kent coast where I'm going to spend more time making bags and leather accessories (wallets, keyrings & the like) I'm also set up to take on jeans repairs. So, if any of you want anything done, please do get In touch. Will be very happy to give you a price. Below are a couple of before and afters I did. Sadly l can't justify the cost of a chain stitcher so I unable to offer shortening. Apologies for the blatant promotional post 🙂 Martin

Agreed, I quite enjoyed the latest email. And am looking forward to what is next. Also excited that the shop down the street from me is going to stock some Tender stuff I hear … amazing, I can go try things on and get something while on a bike ride in town and picking up groceries from the farm stop. Probably can only do that once a year, but still. The perfect scenario, really.1 point

100% YT is completely unusable .. you can't even have the 'history' turned on.. if you accidentally watch something your YT feed is completely fucked.. for instance, around a year ago, i watched 5mins of an American couple doing a walking tour around Sheffield neighbourhoods, they tried the local delicacies, visited the Peak District and so on.. Then everytime i turned on YT (which was usually to post some music here) there was folks (usually fat, bald and white) walking around Sheffield neighbourhoods.. always the most deprived and poverty stricken, the streets covered in rubish, emphasizing that these used to be proud working class neighbourhoods, but now they're just full of immigrants.. with strong implications that the rubish and deprivation was cultural.. i had to trace my actions back to figure out what i'd done to deserve this xenophobic discourse.. Oh that's right!? i watched some Americans eating fish, chips & peas..1 point

Adding to the gardening talk in the contest thread - I spend some time mostly each spring trying to set our now mostly established pollinator garden up for success. Light layer of mulch to spread this year after deadheading all of last years growth, and still some light weeding to do my best to keep out invasives. Lots of alliums, bluestar, goldenrod, false indigo (yellow), coneflowers, sedges, butterfly weed - I’m forgetting some - and a stray milkweed shoot setting up here. The goal is basically to have a little bit of prairie - mostly natives - in the front yard instead of grass. We have a (comparatively at least) small lawn as it is but happy to have even less here. Bonus of my favorite tree a weeping cherry in full bloom. Okay well a tie for my favorite with out black walnut. I was wearing the contest jeans but no pic of that!

thanks @Maynard Friedman life isn’t forever but endings are difficult/ raise questions and challenges: we had fairly existential differences, how to keep the good and let go of the rest… those that go before us leave us all kinds of gifts… in the vein of @julian-wolf’s gardening: compared to his orderly plantings i am wrangling some wilderness at the back: hacking away as self seeded sycamores that have grown into fencing… ‘oh inch of life’…

Warehouse 800xx in 32, I believe they were about 81-82cm in the waist and shrunk down to 74 stretched back out to 80 in one day. I wore many slim straight pairs, Fullcount 1108, iron heart 666, flathead 3009, pbj, momotaro etc, they all stretched and sagged below my hips. These are really nice because the high rise allows my belt to sit above my hips and prevents any sagging. the denim is very rough and uncomfortable compared to the nice Zimbabwe cotton in other brands, I’m eager to break these things in hard like my flatheads. I’m going to avoid putting my cell phone and wallet in the rear pockets as it seems to promote too much stretching in the seat of the jeans.

Finally took my one of a kind hand made embroidered denim vest to the tailor to be altered. Short people problems. Perfect length now. This old Coke jacket will be next. Temporarily pinned and cropped by about 3 inches. Looks great now. Fortunately the zipper was about 4 inches shorter than jacket itself.

Yeah for the most part. I first sew the edges of the hole to clean it up without the patch and then i do another pass to sew the patch on around the hole. Then i just finish it up with a design to sew down the rest of it. I’m working on cleaning up the backside but generally this is enough to have the repair stay on with repeated wear and wash
