thats a good one mhp , i think it was from mojo magazin or roling stone way back in the 90s. i was wondering back then waht jacket it was when i bought the mag.

since he lives near santa rosa he was close to the source i guess.

This is weird and kinda wrong "The Wild One" in color. is this the same bike from the movie?

so i'm listening to one of my all time favorite fourth of july jams, thinking about that classic cover photo [ll], and i realize bruce's levi's are a focal point of the pic - they're a huge part of why it's so iconic, and they imbue the cover with a lot of history and significance

there are lots more out there - classic pictures of actors, musicians, historical figures, etc. where the jeans are central to the image

get at it

Saw these in person at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame a couple weeks ago. They were having a special Springsteen showcase going on, and these were hanging out in a glass case haha.

60's outlaw biker movies also got some great denim and style in them. In fact pretty identical to the pics of outlaw bikers from the 60's seen in this thread recently and the Distressed denim-thread. Hells Angels on Wheels, The Wild Angels, The Born Losers are the ones I've seen and they all fulfill the criteria. Easy Rider also got some great denim altho it's more hippie biker.

You absolutely got that right. One of the greatest American bands of all time.
