Levi's Vintage Clothing

[roy6]

^I miss the little hang tag catalogs. You could see everything, though the images were very small, so still a lot left to the imagination.

There's supposed to be a duck chore coat in this season that I'm looking forward to seeing.

[erbs]

I just put up a pair of '66s for sale if anybody's interested:

true i would like to see that too. love duck jackets. and the one you have is great. but i like the way you rock it roy. there are just to many things out there.

[roy6]

Thanks! My duck jacket is from LVC Japan, another thing that I miss. They had their own slant on things and weren't afraid to take some chances, doing crazy washes and '60s '70s pieces, which I know not everybody is a fan of, but still. LVC Europe is so into the '40s, and occasionally turn of the last century, I'd love to see more '20s, '50s & '60s stuff, for instance.

oh my god... am I a "hipster?"

[erk]

It's always funny how these news stories refer to "raw" denim as some sort of new phenomenon. As if it wasn't simply just the way things were before the 80s.

[setterman]

I'm sure your jeans are no where near skinny, low, or tapered enough for you to be a hipster.

For going 15 months without washing, his jeans aren't above average.

Who knows how many LVC jeans releases there were with natural indigo? I seem to recall the 1880s model, but was there another? Maybe the Spring Bottoms or a 201?

I only know of the 1873 '1st blue jean' which came out in 1999 (now sold to a fellow forum member)

like this -

pocket bag

and an expensive second version in 2006..ish.

I think there might have been three versions, mine didn't have the pocket print. Pretty certain they're the only natural indigo - fabric comes from Kurabo. IIRC, Farhad bought a pair maybe siux months ago?

If that's so, then please advertise using your own pics !

[Paul T]

Preferably in the supermarket!

We don't mind people dropping a couple of photos in a non-sale thread, but best not 4 or 5 huge ones, eh?

[dr.house]

^Thanks again roy6. I'm afraid you've got to sell me one of your leather jackets ;-) Cool one, too bad it runs true to size. threebyone got one left in XL for dirty cheap 260€. Someone should get it!

[Bamahater]

Received my 33's from Blackbird yesterday and must say they are really nice. Bought tts and they fit great out of the package. Small cuff and I'm ready to go. BTW do newer LVC's not have a production code on the button like in past seasons. I'm pretty sure mine are an 09 release.

[Dr_Heech]

Yes, I said Heech.

:eek: !!

.

[dr.house]

This would be an interesting reissue:

The cut reminds me a lot of the (undersized) 47's, but it's also different...Check the beautiful high arcuates.

[colgems1966]

my 554 44's have high arcs like that. very different from the arcs on my 2005 "shore leave" 44's

[erk]

maybe this means theres hope for a real LVC website in the future...

i wouldn't hold my breath. there used to be a LVC site approx 2000-2005, but levis seems to have mostly given up on the brand giving it backburner status. i'm also not too enamored with the "made&crafted" line. i want actual historic repros made in the U.S. not "inspired by" or "in the spirit of" imaginary pieces made in the third-world. lots of people are doing that already some better and most more competitively priced.

it's a shame.

there should definitely be an online presence for LVC, by Levi.

WTF?

[colgems1966]

it is a shame. there seems to be a hardcore following though i don't know how big. i wish they would focus on historic classics in NOS condition (no phony weathering, repairs etc..) jeans, jackets, shirts etc. and try to hold prices to a reasonable level. i think if they did that and actually marketed the product they would find a larger audience.

[M.O.A]

well if they'd stop shipping stuff all over the place it wouldn't be so expensive...

[colgems1966]

roger that. i hate having to buy made in u.s.a. 501's from europe. i'll bet if the original wearers of these vintage 501's saw the multi-tiered 501 lines with domestic u.s. supplies being foreign made junk and the quality u.s. made selvage ones shipped overseas and selling at these prices they'd be scratching their heads or worse. it's shameful.

[dr.house]

Dunno which perfidious marketing strategy is followed by Levis, but it's a shame that there is no LVC homepage. Always a guessing game where to buy their stuff. Tiring.
