Who copped a pair of these limited-edition @levis hand-drawn 501’s 1955 model?
In celebrating the 150-year history of the 501® jean, Levi's were drawn (pun intended) to honor its distinctive details with a quirky twist: Every detail of the 1955 501® - from the Two-Horse Pull patch to the packaging and even the Red Tab - has been meticulously recreated by hand.
This special is made from deadstock @conedenim White Oak Red Selvedge Denim. Its produced in a limit run of 501 pieces.
Retailer @cultizm has still some sizes left!

The @unionfadestore in Milan, Italy is a true destination store when it comes to original vintage clothing. The store, run by Cristian Muruanni and Andrea Carulli, covers the American spirit. Their impressive collection goes from denim to leather Western jackets and boots to sportswear, Japanese boro’s, hunting, and workwear. It’s a curated selection from the many trips to America and Japan. A perfect reflection of the store owners’ journeys through deserts and mountains.

Last week, I was in Milan to visit the denim fabric trade show @denimbypv and the day after I had time to visit some (denim) stores in the city, so finally I made it to check out the great @unionfadestore by Cristian and Andrea (on the pic here)!
Their store is a must visit for each denim head as it’s a true vintage heaven! This week a look inside the store will be published on Long John, so stay tuned…! 💪

Selvedge Sunday it is! 🔥
For over 150 years jeans have been made with so-called selvedge fabrics. These kinds of selvedge fabrics are known for their self-edges on both ends. Sometimes, (also spelled as selvage and sometimes as salvage). This means that they are cleanly finished directly off the loom, with self-finished edges. So, they don’t need to be lock stitched afterward as they don’t fray. Selvedge fabrics are woven on authentic shuttle looms. These narrow looms are run by a wooden shuttle that flows back and forth constantly, resulting in the self-edges. This weaving process is a slow process as they can ‘only’ produce around 100 meters of denim fabrics within 24 hours. And the fabrics are quite small, around 70 – 80 centimeters (27’’ – 28’’).
