Some cool, distressed denim

[meader]

I have to thank you fardin, for your great contributions during a long period of time. Amazin' consistency and quality. There is not enough grace 'n' praise bein' thrown at you from the minions of supertalk. Maybe there is a lack in throw accuracy among the populus dwellin' in these parts? What was it that one should write to search thru' the image archive of Life?

[fardin]

thanks meader

you just have to go to the life site and search their archieve.

Dont know if this is the right thread. From my cowboy films book (I've watched more 5 reels from the 20's/30's than I can remember)

[fardin]

The film is from 1920 and He's wearing a Levis 213. Shame we cant see the jeans waistband (pre-belt-loop 501's or 201's!)

Is it me or does that pair of Lee's in Meaders post fit extremely well?

It's as if I all of the sudden "get" the extremely wide spaced pockets...

Nice!

[grouse_allergy]

I agree, they fit extremely well. I didn't notice the wide-spaced pockets, though. I feel like most of my jeans fit that way.

[Blenheimer]

Not distressed per se nor historically significant in any way but this fella seemed to take the fit of his denim (and his facial hair) pretty seriously back in 1983. Source

Hells yes. Them good ol' days. Fuck'n' great. Gotta love it. The real deal. Just genuine livin'. Anti-bullcrap machinery.

Those are fantastic. I especially like the picture of the two couples where one of the ladies has a fur collar motorcycle jacket, plaid pants and a wicked cool pair of cowboy boots. What went wrong with the U.S.?

I can't keep up with meader, seems to have found all the best stuff...but heres some that I don't recall seeing...

It's funny how pictures work...50-60+ years later we're looking back on these images for inspiration...

[aho]

wish I knew more about the history of denim in Japan...

[meader]

I appreciate your appreciation. That pic with them three juveniles workin' hard in big cuffs is just amazin'. Some hawt dang attitude 'n' steez 'n' what not they possess.
