all about jeans videos

Hi all

every now and then I come across some good/not so good videos treating about jeans. They vary from interviews thru documentaries to simple fun ads. I thought everyone could enjoy watching different stuff. And sometimes learn from it. So here are my links. If you know of any others add them here. BTW the first 2 are Nudies which I know have been posted before but I thought I could include them anyway.

Nudie jeans making and "wash your jeans" guide:

Levi's has created a number of various viral ads, here's the one where a guy in the end does a backflip into his jeans! :

this is the one with a monkey chilling in LA :)

Here I would like to introduce you to Mr. William Sledd and his great advices:

nah, seriously - this should be banned from youtube!

Now this is a really great video with different takes on denim, really really worth checking out. It's a documentary from Canadian CBC:

http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/confidential/bluejean_video.html

This is my favourite of the entire "live unbuttoned" series:

Here is a film about the indigo dyeing process and if you are patient at the end of the movie you'll see really old shuttle loom working!

This is with some old but not the oldest shuttle looms

so, that's from me for now. Enjoy!

I just could not resist including this one in :) because my blue jeans is all what I like!! :):D

bumping from the dead...

some guy named denimbaka on youtube, nothing revolutionary but I'd like to see more vids up on here:

he also seems to have a nice collection on his website:

And might as well add the SE NY video:

Totally forgot who this was but fellow sufu member getting his indigo dyeing flirt technique on with a Momotaro minx:

King of Vintage...for the Japanese speakers

He's quite possibly the reason why most of the vintage denim is now in Japan...;) Quite the collection if you ask me...the ones on the far left look pretty tasty not to mention..well, everything else! And to top it all off, hes a post office worker (but started collecting when he was young)(apparently the displayed jeans are worth at least $140,000USD whenever this was filmed)...

Have any of you seen the new visa add? The perfect pair of jeans: priceless? It's badass and has mad Marlon Brando wild one shots

"A $200 MasterCard® Gift Card to use toward the purchase of a new pair of jeans"

The ad is pretty cool

https://www.priceless.com/us/personal/en/promos/jeans/index.html?CMP=ILC-RED.pcom.us.jeans

but the "jeans" sweepstakes/prize is straight stoopid. It's not worth the 25% interest rate they'll hit your balance with. Nice try mastercard.

Not sure if you guys caught the Blue Jean Confidential CBC documentary last year but here it is, some great footage of Carpe Denim in action...covers lots of topics from Japanese denim, vintage to modern distressing methods IIRC:

http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/confidential/bluejean_video.html

And more from Carpe Denim, some extended footage that will make thrifters a bit envious:

New videos from the Lightning Denim Buyer's Guide Release Event party...pretty ridiculous seeing all that nice denim side to side in all the videos...There's stuff from every brand we rave about as well as some that don't get as much attention...A must watch IMO...

The actual buyers guide flip through:

A look at jeans from all brands...of particular interest is a new model by Dubbleworks! As well as Fullcounts worn by the boss himself, and a look at faded purple PBJ's:

Billiken Man makes an appearance, a bunch of Samurai's, and more round up this vid:

Looks like he might post more but I'll update as it goes along...damn I love lightning!

More stuff from the Lightning Denim Buyers Guide event...Gleem, Warehouse/Duckdiggers, Evisu No.1 at 5 years and more! Check out those Flatheads (also one year and six months)... :o Many of the pairs they show in this series are grail worthy... He jokes about the Gleem's taking a year and six months as compared to the 5 year Evisu's and 3 year (IIRC) Tedman's...

I don't know if this ever came out.

My gripe with it was that they didn't seem to think there was anything worth shooting outside of Los Angeles for the entire film.

That guy Zac is a friend, he'll be selling all his work (including his crazy belts) at Viva Las Vegas in two weeks: http://vivalasvegas.net/
