Bert Grimm style, but hand drawn by Bud. He's at American Vintage Tattoo in Orange, CA. We did it in one setting...2hrs 45mins. He's fast!

Thanks man! I was on the 5th floor, but was at our friends room quite a bit on the 2nd. Got a big old tattoo from my friend Bud there too.

Yeah, Kiya went and outed me on SuFu! LOL!!! It was a really fun weekend...sorry about the bummer friend. Say hello next time!

Most definitely will make next year a much better Viva and will holler at ya... But, for my first VLV, I still had a ball, regardless of the bummy friend.

Definitely a good tattoo. Kiya was debating whether or not he should get one. Maybe if we had ganged up on him, maybe peer pressure could've came into effect!

Maybe this is who has been buying up those original Carhartt caps and signs for such big money.
The new Carhartt store in Chicago needed some atmosphere.

Wow, that's just like the Michigan Avenue Levi's store.

Well it's not reproduction per say, but I think it fits in the same mold...

I started making these as I wanted a new key ring, but being a vintage guy, I had to make it myself. Each one is selvedge denim, either cone or japanese denims, made on vintage machines and vintage hand tools.

I made them to fit on my 33 LVC suspender buttons and they can hand inside my pocket...

I'm going to start making other stuff too, but thought I'd start off small...

 

[Lefty]

Very nice PB (or HH, depending upon the location). I'd love to see some suspenders in the upcoming line-up.

 

[PoohBang]

wouldn't be too much of a stretch (pardon the pun) Just two really long key chains....

 

[ClaraBow]

IMO the best LVC is the 1955 501, very nice boxy outline. Perfect for that 50s look imo!

So i got this email from Correction Connection(the shop wich sells Prison blues) today.

Price Changes Coming due to cotton price!
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON COTTON PRICES

Due to the fact that China has purchased most of the 2010 USA cotton crop, cotton prices in the USA have gone up 400% over last year. At this time last year raw cotton was $0.45 a pound and as of now the price is $1.90 a pound.

Look for US made clothing with cotton content to increase dramatically very soon as current inventories are depleted. We at Correction Connection will not increase prices on current inventory as many online stores already have but when current inventory is sold and is replaced we will be forced to increase prices.

We estimate the most popular sizes will be gone by the end of May and be replaced with the higher priced cotton so the time to buy is NOW!

This action on the part of China will further destroy more of the USA manufacturing base and export more American jobs while driving up domestic prices.

Many US manufacturers are hanging on by a thread. We appreciate your consideration of buying American Made clothing before it is too late and the apparel sewing shops all fo out of business forever. Who knows, the job you save may be your own!



Thank you again,

Correction Connection

I remember a certain ex-president signing the trade agreement with China and another fella talking about a giant sucking sound...he just might have been right!

Found this at the thrift shop today. Browns Beach style.

Also found the real deal, a couple racks over.

Reiss was a British repop label from the '80s.

 

[mattfink]

You are one lucky f****er Dinerman!!! Great find!

 

[Feraud]

Love this style, hate that splash of material across the front.

I'm not an Oprah fan but I may have to try and watch that.
