Reproduction classic workwear

BTW, the guy in the striped outfit with the Tattoos is the owner of Sivletto!

I am pretty tattooed myself. I'm talking about how they need to market this extreme look to appeal to a people or they don't have a chance in getting rid of their stock. Whether it was intentional to the one site in question or part of the decision making process in picking the models for the original LVC photoshoot there was probably a line of thought that went something like: Take a picture of cool looking guys and girls who are 'with it' so that customers say, "hey, I can rock that style too!"

Pick up what I'm puttin down? [huh]

LOL! I was just poking a little fun...the tattooed guy is definitely not part of the Levi's campaign.

(Me too!) But he is rightfully, trying to sell his product!

They are going to have so much of this left over they won't know what to do with it :eusa_doh:

This is SWEDEN- don't worry, it'll all sell.
He's also selling to the whole World.
He'll run out of stock.

And his name is Per.
Don't forget it.

Hey Mr. Fink, would you mind elaborating on this jacket and perhaps (please) post a picture or two of it. What do you think of the denim.. is it heavy or lightweight? Could you maybe post the measurements for the size you got? Oh and what are the buttons like? I've been considering one of these over the buzz rickson version (which I may not ever be able to afford). Thanks for anything else on it!

Sorry it took so long on this! It's a pretty stiff denim that's got a nice graininess to it. I haven't washed mine, but I would imagine it would soften up over time. The size I bought was a tagged 46, but is more like a 44. It measures 21" shoulder to shoulder, 23 1/2" armpit to armpit, 24 1/2" shoulder to cuff and 30" collar fold to bottom. I wish the sleeves were a tad longer, but I'm sure it's cut pretty much like the original. Here's a couple of pics:

The prison stripe jeans are just plain silly...some of the other stuff is already up on here:

Be sure to choose English as I'm sure most of you can't read Swedish!!!

Is it just me, or are the descriptions, even in the English version of the site, still in Swedish?

Both!? Well then, which flattop's cute as a button daughter is the killerest!?

 

[flat-top]

Any links?

I can say the new LVC line does not particularly push my buttons as they have gone with a primarily (vintage) prison inspired line this year.

I think I'm liking this entire campaign:

Except of course the striped pants!

Can someone post a pic of the Gap denim pullover? I'm not seeing it at any local locations.

GAP Pullover -- this one?

I wore my last weekend. It's a great shirt!

I think the campaign is interesting, but not really my favorite line up.

Yup, that's it, thanks.

Also, I was at Wasteland in Los Angeles and picked a couple of dungarees by these 'fellers.

I'll post pics shortly.

I dig that! I have a hickory stripe Sugar Cane shirt though that I think is close enough. If I have a flat blue chambray work shirt, then I don't need 4 variations of the same thing, you know? I have my eye on some plaids!

Although, the watch chain hole is a terrific detail on this one!!!

not really a vintagie picture, but them bibs are very uhh trad? Roundhouse #907 "low back"

sorry that i'm wearing them so low, but really it's the only way to go if you are squatting for awhile laying brick

do you like the lowbacks better than the highback/traditional backs?
well, you obviously like them enough to own a pair, and i guess it would only apply if you had tried on or owned the other. anyway, been thinking about trying a pair. i too throw brick.

 

[Alexi]

the low backs are much much more comfortable in hot weather. The full backs however are much more supportive of weight in the pockets or in the tool loop. I had a tree felling wedge in each of the rear pockets the other day and the elastic straps on the back did not do such a great job supporting the weight. When it gets cold out I also prefer having my lower back covered to conserve some heat.

Nice overalls Alexi! Just got a pair myself...can't wait until they break in a bit more. Did you find they shrunk much after washing?
