It's kind of crazy and amazing to see someone as passionate with raw denim as Ruedi. I'm just hoping that someday his dream to have a decent jeans museum will come true!
From the UK, love denim. I have an original Levi's 507 XX Type II jacket and a Type III first release 557XX, Just need to hunt down a Type I 506XX now. The search continues, may take a while lol. Great video.
It certainly is, also being in the UK means that the customs charges when buying goods from the USA where my jackets were purchased (along with a 1970s Type III suede jacket) are really high but it's worth it for the rarer items.
I have a pair of 501’s I bought new from J.Crew marked, “Exclusively made for J.Crew” on the inner pocket bag. But they aren’t raw selvidge, and I’ve never liked the way they fit. Especially at the cuff. Do you think I should hold onto them or let someone else enjoy them?
It's ridiculous that those Ironhearts are completely trashed after 1000 days. If he had washed them after every 7 or 8 wear days they would look beautiful now. Now they look like garbage.
