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)

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.
