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)

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.

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!

Levi's Vintage Clothing 1915 Cone Mills Collaboration Denim 501XX


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.


9 years passed. The achievement of LS&CO. productions reached a climax when it received the Highest Award for waist overalls at the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. 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!

Made of the finest fabric from White Oaks Cone Mills, these pants features all the dream qualities that make any denim lover on earth crazy.

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".


Waist: 30 inches
Inseam: 33.5 inches
Front rise: 12 inches
Leg opens: 17 inches

Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC 1873 Duck Canvas Waist Overalls

 
The cotton duck cloth overalls is a replica of the closest surviving relatives of the very first pair of riveted Waist Overalls crafted by Jacob Davis in January 1871. Before denim became the more popular finish. Levi's Strauss & Co. also made overalls in cotton duck; this was probably the cause of the erroneous notion that Levi's first "denim" jeans were made of sailcloth dyed blue.
These Waist Overalls date from around 1880 and like all early Levi's , feature just one back pocket, cinch, waist buttons, no belt loops, crotch rivet, single needle stitch, early non-Two Horse Brand label, in this case centrally placed.
Denim always seemed to have been the more popular option; LS&Co. stopped making cotton duck overalls in 1911.
 

The Valencia construction has been recognized as an icon of top quality in LS&CO.. And now this 555 labelled Duck overalls is in Union Dry Goods. Obviously we don't need much description and the pictures tell you basically everything.

Levi's Vintage Clothing LVC 1901 Filmore 501XX Denim

 
Named "Filmore" after the famous music avenue in San Francisco, this pair of year 1901 denim features a unique patchwork at the knee and any other features an any antique pants should have - selvedge, cinchback, suspender buttons... LVC does it so well.
A brand new with tag, unworn item. Color is pretty dark. With medium weight 10oz selvedge used, it would be rather suitable to wear throughout the year. Quality you deserve to have!

Levi's Vintage Clothing - You deserve a pair of denim like this



Oh yeah, I mean it.
What is the real problem: you work hard, you have money and you have taste but you are not on anybody's 'A' list. Saturday night is your loneliest night in the week. Well, the right casual dress would certainly change all this. But you know, tons of clubbing guys wearing Italian tight-fits reminds us only one thing: there are too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much stupid money!
Now if you are wearing a pair of 1880's Levi's Vintage Clothing waist overalls... you would not be a self-indulgent wiener, you'd be a connoisseur. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part...
We'll be sharing with you this and the coming articles the viewpoint of Union Dry Goods on how we choose the right pair of denim.
Denim color: dark or light?
Cowboy fans, pseudo miners and some obsessed nuts like the author require "dark" all the way, while most others would keep a spectrum of shades. Basically, what looks "good" is what the media presents as a general trend. There's nothing inherent good or bad about the color. It's just meaningless fashion, and spending cycles. The important thing is a good match. While dark denim looks a little more dressy insofar as jeans can be dressy, are you going to throw away your pair of authentic 1890's Lot 203?
