Levi's Vintage Clothing 1915 Cone Mills 501XX Special Edition

The Belt loops in LS&CO. productions were only added since the year 1922. Before that, every pair of waist overalls feature only the suspender buttons and cinch buckle for waist fit adjustment. Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC designers have formulated a special edition of 1915 Lot 501XX, with attractive features which never appear in any other models...

Buttoned back pocket flaps and belt loops are added and they are made of tough cotton duck fabric. All buttons are coated with rust color which elevate much of the "vintage" feel of this 1915 model!

Cutting based on the LVC 1915 Collaboration Rigid 501XX but this time the pants are with nice factory wash while sharing the same comfort and protection from the quality Cone Mills selvedge fabric. Very rare item indeed, seize this opportunity before it's too late!

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.

Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC Year 1933 Lot 501XX, Open to offers

"We are not perfect." said Steve Jobs, soon after the new Apple iPhone 4 had found operation problems years ago.

 

Yes, men make mistakes, we are all human beings and we all make mistakes. Mistakes, however, sometimes create opportunities. Believe it or not?

 

Union Dry Goods has a pair of pre-owned factory prototype of 1933 Lot 501XX where mistakes were found in the process of manufacturing. As can suggest from the above picture, a piece of plastic tape had been misplaced on the leather tag during the ironing process and ruined the 2-horse icon. It results in the optionless disposal by the 555 Factory and sold it in the outlet with the "Every Garment Guaranteed" crossed out.

That apart, the pair of 501XX denim is in a very good shape without any other problems. The LVC 1933 series is supposed to be a flagship in the Levi's Vintage Clothing and has long been one of the best sellers since 1999. It features every lovely feature denim fans die for. Union Dry Goods is selling this pair of denim on an Open-offer basis. Any interested buyer can suggest us his best offer and we will reply within 24 hours - "Yes" or "No" or "Counter offer".
