Levi's LVC 1880 Knappave Waist Overalls 32/32 used


Presented today at Union Dry Goods is this pair of pre-owned Knappave of Levi's Vintage Clothing. It briefly describes how the Waist Overalls look like in the old day Nevada Gold Mines. Design based on the legendary Nevada 1880, Knappave has an identical cutting and features except there is no factory made wear and fade.

 
Like all other replica models before 1922, Knappave features the following details:
1. Exposed rivets
2. Single right back pocket
3. Cinchback
4. Patented Leather patch signifying its production time before 1886
5. Sewn suspender buttons
6. Baggy cutting
7. Front pockets made of same fabric as the pants, rather than using oil cloth as material
8. And... the characteristic left thigh tool pocket


The item for sale has been with cold water washing 3 times including the first-time soak. However Union Dry Goods find the LVC shrinkage was notoriously inaccurate. After all these subsequent washes within 3 years of use, the actual waist measures as much as 34 inches.

 
Do you care about inaccuracy? What we care about instead is the fact that we only have this pair in stock, meaning there is only one lucky buyer is able to bring this Knappave home. As long as the size is wearable, any denim fans should make up their minds knowing what decision is about to make.

Where's it gone?



The leather patch disappeared...
 
Removed intensionally by the Japanese LVC designer team for creating a specific distressed mood, this pair of Circa 1886/1890 waist overalls is truly an honest replica of the work pants for a gold miner of the era. Nice washing effect observed. Suspender buttons, cinchback, buttonfly, single back pocket and "Patented LS&CO. SF" rivets are all well presented in this 125 Years' Anniversary Edition LVC. Now available at Union Dry Goods.

Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC Japan 1933 Lot 501XX


Japan is no doubt one of the biggest exporter of finest denim in the world. Japanese denim manufacturers are devoted in the developing new ways of fabric improvement and weathering. LVC Japan being the leader in the industry has never stopped its pace. Replicas of the antiques have been presented in different kind of washes to reflect the mood or scenerio of the old days.


This is the second pair of LVC Japan 1933 we have. The last one has been sold with a happy ending, our buyer received tons of compliment around since he started to use it. The denim comes with factory made but natural like whiskers and fade. Looks authentically beautiful.
 
Now Union Dry Goods brings the second pair to our customers again. Don't miss it because it's something not come up often!

Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC Waist Overalls Circa 1890


By pure calculation, this pair of waist overalls can't be a 1890 LVC because of that 125 Years' Anniversary. Many customers email us and argue on this point. 1890+125=2015, we are yet to be in 2013! It's so true. However on careful studies on limited historical material, we determine the model to be 1890 instead of 1886 thanks to the slimmer cut design which does rather make sense!


We are open minded.

Simply categorize it as a Circa 1890 then. And now available at our online store: http://www.uniondrygoods.com/eng/product.php?id=87
