Some cool, distressed denim

[fardin]

i thought they were keds because of this 50s ad and they have three holes too and the winos 4, but i might be wrong

[george.white]

Hrmm, looking at them and that ad, I think you're right they are Keds.

I know this was posted for the denim in the background,

but I love this babe's outfit... Shades of Jackie O, and what a figure!

Took me awhile to realize there even was denim in it.

Naked women and dirty denim!!. A winning combination!

how many hippies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

hippies don't screw in lightbulbs, they screw in dirty sleeping bags.

[thatslapz]

hm I don't know where my post went, but I got it at my school library. Here's a link...amazon doesn't stock it unfortunately.

http://www.amazon.com/This-Pair-Levis-Jeans-Official/dp/0961746017/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1234588906&sr=8-1

The pages are 11x 13.5 inches and it's all almost huge pictures. I'll post up some more in a bit.

With respect , these pics offer nothing new and are not in the spirit of the thread . Most , interested parties , posting on this thread wiil own the books these pics came from . FFS Paul T even wrote a book with some of these pics in it . Sorry to burst the bubble but if you want to add to the thread please do some research before posting again .

[Leonard Leroy]

And I disagree and I have to hold back negrepping you.

[Paul T]

For what it's worth, copying pages from a book infringes others' copyright. But I would say that, wouldn't I.

To be fair, thatslapz had at least contributed - and made a sacrifice - now he's laid that Levi's book flat to photograph it, the pages will start to drop out, as I know from bitter experience...

[fardin]

i would also say not to take it to seriously ,

some of the pics are nice, some might would have been better in the Lvc threads.

just my two cents

[Paul T]

i

some of the pics are nice, some might would have been better in the Lvc threads...

Very true.

Look at the top ad here, and you'll see what inspired the Lev's Type 1 - the exaggerated features as they were painted in the early ads: http://www.superfuture.com/supertalk/showpost.php?p=1661964&postcount=262

Can you imagine, in the ealry 1900s when people wore plain, dark pants, how in-your-face all that brightly-coloured stitching would look?

[thatslapz]

sorry about that, if anyone wants to see them, I posted the book above. Paul T is right, they are copyrighted and that should be respected.
