Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC auction list, week 2012/10/28

Nobody else dares to claim a complete portfolio of Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC without the existence of early duck overalls in it. The very first replica represents a 1873 model. The pair we have for this week, on the other hand, has its design based on the famous 1880 Knappave with an additional left tool pocket available.

Should be much more accurate to call it the 1922 Lot 201 because belt loops were only added to any LS&CO. bottoms after the year 1922... Anyway, it's a nice pair of denim of the family No.2. Characteristic white oil-cloth patch, black-coated suspender buttons, baggy cut - all reflecting the toughness of the denim and the working class of the era!

Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC 1890 Patchwork Waist Overalls 125 Years' Anniversay

It might not look familiar with, probably because this model does not exist on earth with abundance especially when it's talking about a replica of the era before 1900.

 

By 1890 features such as the iconic two horse patch have appeared; it's placed on the right hand side of the denim. The design, however, was formulated according to Levi's records as early as in 1886. There is still one back pocket, making these '4 pocket' waist overalls. Levi's  productions were pioneers being copied fairly widely, and by 1900 or so rival makers include Special, Stronghold and Can't Bust Em, all of which look pretty similar - many of them have Levi's-style arcuates, too.

 

Union Dry Goods brings you a pair of Year 1890 re-issue. LVC designers have inserted their great idea of patchwork to this special 125 anniversay model. Solid 555 construction by the Valencia Factory, this pair of denim is a mus-have for every denim lover in the globe should there be enough supply.

Now available in Union Dry Goods and comes with golden size 30/36! (Actual measurement see description)

The legend of LS&CO. couldn't be perfect without the aid of the Cone Mills denim. The partnership of the two companies began as early as in 1906 when the American workwear giant decided to start purchase denim fabric from Cone Mills' base, Greebsboro, North of California.

Levi's and Cone Mills formed its strategic collaboration and the result was fabulous as we all see how these plain selvedge pants sell over the last century!

You deserve a pair of denim like this (Part 2)

Julius Cesar just doesn't look right without his purple toga on. Real man just can't go without the right pair of jeans. What makes our own pair appealing? Well go through some of the important features today.

Fabric is the soul of a pair of jeans. Over decades Japanese companies have been so devoted in developing it's fabric industry by introducing advanced ways to improve the dyeing and manufacturing process. Lovely brands set up demonstrated how good the Japanese quality was. The author however has personal reservation in recent releases from Japan since the tsunami tragedy. Afterall, water is in heavy use during the manufacturing stages and we never know if the water has been contaminated! Heard of Xinjiang made selvedge was introduced in some developing oriental brands lately but the author remains a die-hard for pure US construction.

What else? Hardware talks now. Classic interpreters demand their jeans be button fly, like the originals. Fair enough, zipper fly does not relief much of the men's headache but post certain threat. Our viewpoint is in favor of button fly since it's still the best way so far to pay homage to denim's hard-laboring heritage. Suspenders buttons and cinch buckles were used before 1930's and most replicas include them for the sack of being "vintage" and most important "profitable". For daily use, however, it's the belt loops which bring "life" to your pair of denim with the pairing up of carefully selected belts.

Leg Shape also counts. There should not be any major variation in the upper thigh in the world of men's denim. Anything under the knee would decide what kind of guy you are. Straight cut or baggy design? Boot-cut or bell-bottom? Miner or painter? James Dean or Elvis Presley? Well, ancient baggy cuts tend to cover shortcoming of body built like "out knee" while straight leg fits quite well those big & tall.

For cuffs, Union Dry Goods holds the view that your jeans be with the right length for your legs. They could hang long provided the leg is wide enough, but definitely not so long as to flip them up. Remember, denim is invention of human beings. Don't let them control over you!

Speak enough and we leave the discussion of weathering of jeans next time.

No title

Let me express my deepest sadness on the Lamma Island shipwreck tragedy last night. May the victims rest in peace and the survived recover soon.
