VINTAGE LEVI’S RED JEANS FOUND | PART I “BILLY BOB”
i was searching for one of my vintage western shirts. so some days ago i was checking up one of some big ZARGES storage boxes in the basement, where i have a lot of clothes parked. stuff i won’t wear at the moment or i am just collecting like vintage western shirts and boots, work boots, denim, t-shirts … so i found 2 more than 10 years old LEVI’S RED jeans. i was so surprised how detailed these where made. today i will show you this very rare “BILLY BOB”. no selvedge, classic straight leg, a lot of zigzag stitched details, suspender buttons, … tomorrow i will continue with my LEVIS’S RED “THE HOLDEN”. maybe i will find the original suspenders till tomorrow … and damn, LEVI’S RED isn’t payable today. check the prices @ LNCC … unbelievable, there isn’t a pant under 650 €. pics | LTG
YESTERDAY WAS “MAENNERABERND” @ BREMERICH JEANS
it was so nice yesterday night at MAENNERABEND in ILLINGEN. after a terrible drive through heavy traffic, storms and rain we got to BREMERICH JEANS. and ican tell you: ILLINGEN may be a little village but it is so nice and i was so surprised when i got into OLI BREMERICH’s shop. perfect – i did not expect this! and the next surprise was the crowd of men listened to the RED WING guys, MONTI & ROBIN from the ONE GOODS, WOLFGANG from PASSIONFRANCE®, ROB & KEITH from EAT DUST … OLI – great work, good job, best organized. thanks for this nice evening. here just some expressions. pics | LTG
TODAY IS “MAENNERABEND” @ BREMERICH JEANS, ILLINGEN, GERMANY
OLI BREMERICH is what BONIFATIUS was for the catholics: a missionary. something like a missionary for all those guys in the sticks around ILLINGEN, SAARLAND, germany, who do not know what good denim and boots mean. ILLINGEN? where the f*** is ILLINGEN? okay, found it on the map: it is a small village 20 km in the north of SAARBRUECKEN just a spy away from the french border in the west of germany. it is really small with around 16.800 people who live there. and one of them is OLI. he runs the shop i do not know, but i think in third generation. the store was founded in 1934! BREMERICH JEANS sells japanese denim, american workwear, heavy boots and all the other stuff we like. in ILLINGEN?, you may ask – yes indeed, and it works! so it will get exciting visiting his 8TH “MAENNERABEND” tonight. a lot of clients and friends were invited and the guys from EAT DUST, PASSIONFRANCE®, RED WING SHOES, THE ONE GOODS and ME. my copywriter PETER will join the event too. i think it will be a relaxed evening with good talks, drinks and typical “MAENNERABEND” food. more to post the next days. the EAT DUST STUFF for today came on time with a special personal deliviery some days ago; check the video below. vid | BREMERICH JEANS || pics | LTG
