Dette har ført til to af Levi’s klassiske truckerjakker i denim i mørk og lyse nuancer. Begge har et rygpatch med kunst lavet af Bleu Noir. Tag et nærmere kig på begge jakker nedenfor, som er tilgængelige nu hos Colette.

Actually, I first thought about doing it when I was in Berlin in January and didn’t meet my friends from Lee there. Well, if the mountain won’t go to the Muhammed, then Muhammed must come to the mountain, as the saying goes. So I went to visit the Scandinavian Lee headquarters to have a look at the fall/winter collection for 2012. In Hellebæk about an hours drive north of Copenhagen, the Lee “führerbunker” is located in these buildings that used to house Hellebæk Klædefabrik (an old clothing factory), which closed in 1977 after producing fabrics for almost a century. To get some evocative pictures of the highlights from Lee 101, sales representative of Northern Sealand, Mads Dahlgaard and I went down to the beach, which is just across the road of the old beautiful buildings. One of the most exiting news is this pair of 101Z jeans in a coarse 23 oz. fabric, which will be available in shops like Brund and Meadow. As you probably read before, the Storm Rider jacket was first introduced in 1933. This 2012 version of the classic jacket is made of the exclusive “100% Natural Indigo Dye – 5 dips” fabric that was launched this spring for the 101Rider jeans and the 101J jacket. Labels for the 101 collection are inspired by Lee labels from the 40s and 50s. If you for some reason you should feel like wearing anything other than blue jeans these 101S piece-dyed selvage twill jeans might be something of interest. The 101S was introduced in 1941 when Lee brought in rodeo star Turk Greenough and his girlfriend Sally Rand (who was an exotic dancer) to re-tailor the existing fit and make it tighter. Sally Rand used a stapler to make the thighs slimmer, however, kept the hems wide to give room for the boots. The “boot cut” quickly became the jean of choice across America.

But not everybody is in it for the fame or the glory, to some hardcore denim hunters it’s still solely about passion and fascination. Meet one such guy, 22-year-old Chris Skitch from the Blue Gold Blues. You seem to be quite the denim hunter, but how did it all begin? I guess you could say it all began a couple years ago when I got a summer job at Marlboro Classics in London. My boss at the time was extremely knowledgeable about denim having previously worked at Evisu Savile Row. He took me under his arm and taught me all about ?premium? denim. Needless to say I walked into that job not even knowing what selvage was and walked out wearing bespoke Warehouse (Japan) jeans. My first experience with Vintage was at Ragtop Dave?s stall in Spitalfields Market, London. After seeing the real thing and how superior it was to the repro stuff I was wearing, I was hooked! What is Blue Gold Blues? Blue Gold Blues was project I started at university for a bit of fun. It became a hobby to rummage through vintage and thrift shops looking for old Levi’s jeans and I wanted a place to showcase my finds, but more importantly document all the little details that made vintage jeans resonate to me. It’s almost impossible to find decent vintage in London, or Europe for that matter, which is why it’s exciting when you find something cool. People regularly email me about jeans and jackets they have found too, I’m always glad to answer questions about this stuff. What do you do for a living? Just graduated from University so need to start looking for jobs! Levi’s XX? RRL? Are you reading this? Why do you think denim (especially vintage) has become so popular? There?s unquestionably a buzz around ?premium? denim at the moment. Bloggers have pointed out that wearing a selvage turn-up has almost become into a little ?hipsters club? around town. But in all seriousness I think especially for men at the moment, they want to feel that there is some level of authenticity in the way that they dress, and ?fashion brands? (you know the ones I?m talking about) just don?t cut it. For me, vintage denim is the next step up after that, yes it’s expensive, but put it into perspective: people drop 200-300 euros on a pair of “repro” jeans all day long, and believe it or not you can get some killer vintage Big E Levi’s for that sort of money. The quality of the denim, the fades, the character and most of all the heritage is just something that cannot be reproduced today, not even in Japan! What should you look for in a pair of vintage jeans? Depends what your after I guess. I always like to see a bit of character, something you can be like; “yeah that?s cool”. But then again it can be nice to wear a pair that are really dark and in good condition; the higher end stuff. But the problem with that is no one believes it’s original when you wear it! That?s happened to me a few times! If you could only wear one outfit for the rest of your life what should it be? It would depend on a number of factors but generally I like to wear things that are well made, interesting and have a bit of heritage, but I think it’s important to mix it up with something contemporary. There’s a great quote about being dressed head to toe in vintage clothing by Larry Mckaughan (Hellers Cafe); “One has to be careful not to wear a costume,” and I totally agree with that. On the eternal denim hunt, which pair would who be most happy to find? In the words of the infamous Brit Eaton aka Indiana Jeans (picture below), ?Buckle-backs Baby!? in other words anything Levi’s pre-WWII. How many pairs do you have in your collection? At one stage I had something like 12 pairs of Big E Levis, but I have since developed a bad habit of selling everything to fund new purchases. Which pair are you most proud of? A couple of years ago I was in Berlin I found this really great rare model of 501. They originally come from an old guy that bought them in 1967 at a US Army Postal Exchange (PX Store) in the American sector, during the Berlin wall days. They had some of the best fading contrast/whiskering I have ever seen. They were two inches too small for me and I kept them for a while but recently I sadly let them go. They paid for a vintage A-2 Jacket so its all good. Talking about Berlin, I would go as far as saying that it’s the best place in Europe for vintage clothing, I have picked up big E Levis for 10-15 euros at flea markets there; the American influence of the past is still visible to this day. How do you wear in your (dry) jeans ? any special routines? In my opinion a laissez faire attitude is the way to go, just wear them and you will get the results you want. People are putting far too much thought into wearing a pair of jeans these days. Depending on size and shrinkage I will give a pair of jeans a rinse to start off with and then wash them by hand when necessary, job done. What did you dream of becoming as a boy? A musician – I’m also a vintage guitar enthusiast. Are there any up-coming or unknown brands that you think are worth looking into? I wouldn?t really know about up and coming repro brands, it?s not my cup of tea. But having compared a number of repro jeans to real 50s and 60s deadstock denim jeans, Warehouse and Momotaro are only two repro brands that I feel come close to replicating the quality and look of the real thing. Do you own every pair featured on the blog? Unless it’s clearly stated otherwise I have owned each item at one point.

Thomas Bojer Denimhunters Fri, 18 May 2012 07:38:47 +0100 http://denimhunters.com/suppliers/denimonline?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=denimonline The Danish market for high-end denim is made up of a small community of enthusiasts who often speak an incomprehensible language and dwells with the small and seemly insignificant details about the products. A fact that is reflected in the number of shops that specialises in this niche. There’s nothing wrong about that: Denmark is a small country and the buying criteria of most customers has for years been focused around parameters such as price and brand rather than quality and craftsmanship. But this behaviour is currently changing. While we wait the abundant possibilities online in the virtual denim universe must do. This is a selection of some of the best. Blue In Green – one of the world’s leading suppliers of Japanese denim outside Japan. From the list of brands one could mention brands like Suger Cane & Co., Monotaro, Skull Jeans, Warehouse, Samurai, Evisu, Denime, Pure Blue Japan, Oni Denim, Studio D’Artisan, The Real McCoy’s, and their own label. Read more about that here. Self Edge – one of those webshops you just keep visiting. The physical store are found in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. Self Edge carries Roy, Iron Heart, The Flat Head, Imperial Denim, Nudie, R.J.B, Mister Freedom, 3sixteen, Dry Bones and many more. Meadow – the absolute best and most nerdy shop in Malmö, Sweden. In Meadow you’ll find jeans from brands like Denim Demon, Levi’s Vintage Clothing, Lee, Blue Bell, Indigofera, Pace og Edwin. Read more about Meadow here. Sivletto – Rock ‘n roll og lots of pomade: this is a genuine rockabilly-hangout. At Sivletto they only sell unwashed jeans and the shop is specialised in brands like Lee, Carhartt, Red Kap, Levis Vintage Clothing, Indigofera, Pace og Pike Brothers. On the Sivletto webshop you’ll also find most of what’s in the Unionville shop. Oi Polloi – one of Britain’s leading fashion shops located in Manchester. Here you’ll find a reasonable selection of denim brands including A.P.C, Albam, Edwin, Lee 101, Levi’s Vintage Clothing, and Nudie. oki-ni – the webshop was established in september 2001 og it was originally both gallery and shop. A oki-ni they focus on “limited editions” the shop has previously done exclusive collaborations with brands like Adidas, Levi’s, Paul Smith, and Porter. From the webshop you can get Acne, Evisu, Lee 101, Levi’s Vintage Clothing, NN.07, Our Legacy, and Prps. Cultizm – this Munich based webshop has specialised in high-end denim from brands like Denham, The Stronghold, Lee, Edwin, Nudie, Levi’s Vintage Clothing, and Indigofera. Caliroots – the Swedish webshop was one of the first places I saw Cheap Monday some 7-8 years ago. Today their C-Store with “Premiun Goods” is what interests me. Here you’ll find Levi’s Vintage Clothing, Monotaro, Studio D’Artisan, Han Kjøbenhavn, Spellbound, Warehouse, Denim Demon, and Indigofera. Superdenim – a British webshop and supplier if brands like Tender, Studio D’Artisan, The Real McCoy’s, Lee og Levi’s Vintage Clothing.
