Deadstock Levi's Fabric on ebay

[cramby]

The last time I put some of this denim on ebay it was only available by the roll and I had a few requests from peeps on this forum to sell smaller quantities, like 3 yard cuts, enough for 1 pair.

So, if you're feeling kinda Project Runway with your sewing machine or you know a good tailor... I've put some 3 yard cuts up on the bay.

Here's a link to one of the auctions, you know how to find the others.

The denim is the real deal and has been discussed in detail on this forum.

I know, I know, looks like I'm trying to blow up my own auction, but I really don't need to because you FREAKS in JAPAN are doing it for me. (I mean that in a good way)

I thought I was a nut, but you guys are out of hand. I mean, granted, the last three bolts I put up on ebay were all sold to Japan for way more $ than I could of ever imagined, so I shouldn't be surprised when you guys snatch up 3 yard cuts for $$$ as fast as I can list em.

Honestly, I'm kidding about the freak thing, this is coming from someone who has in the past:

1. Dated a girl that worked at American Rag just so I could get access to the best denim before it went out on the floor.

2. Missed my flight out of LAX because I was knee deep in vintage denim at the Rose Bowl Swap Meet, which subsequently made me miss a very important meeting at work Monday morning, blah, blah, blah

Thats just a couple among many denim foibles.

But I think the thing that sets me aside as being a full blown FREAK, this is so embarrassing... I use to cut the selvage out of vintage Levi's that were trashed or too small etc. and sew it into modern 501's just so I could get that two or three inches of redline to show when I cuffed my jeans. I mean, what's up with that!

Anyway, got's to go, can't be late to my Indigo Anonymous meeting.

PS Ya want to know what my latest jones is.... Pre WWII Schwinn Balloon Tire Bicycles, oh man are they sick! Just picked up an original unrestored 1936 Schwinn Motorbike/Cycleplane Deluxe ..wow..

I couldn't help myself, I feel like a new dad showing baby pictures at the office.

oh snap that is quite nice ..

may I ask what is it " worth " to another collector monetary wise ?

[Landy]

i'd use it as a blanket. roll around in it and smell the denim.

numero-

I paid $2400 for the bike. From what research I've done, that seems about right. But as with most things collectible it's value is a little harder to pin down and put a number on. To me, the bike is absolutely worth what I paid for it. I ride it, in fact it's my primary rider right now. I know the real collectors would probably frown on that, saying I risk damage to my investment etc. I know this sounds like a cliché but, I'd rather push that bike than be caught riding one of those cookie cutter mountain-eering bikes around.

I mean, why do we search out vintage denim? It's all about S-T-Y-L-E
