\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I spent time on research trips traveling between the Mexican border and Malibu exploring the old surf haunts and meeting current surfers to trace the link from the surf riders of the 1940s to today, and found the same passions still exist,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says Paul O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Neill, Design Director, Levi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00c2\u00ae Vintage Clothing. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This was an era before the classic California surfers we all associate with board shorts and long blond hair \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 this is where I cast the surfers who would act as models for our lookbook as well.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Scroll down to see some the most beautiful pieces from the lookbook which take you the early-mid 90\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nostalgia.<\/p>\n The Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae Vintage Clothing 1880’s Triple Pleat Blouse is based on their oldest and earliest denim jacket. A hallmark of Western workwear, it now sits at the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s\u00c2\u00a0 San Francisco archives. It’s named for the three center front pleats, designed to allow for expansion by clipping the threads. Distinguishing features include sewn-on metal branded buttons, large hand pockets with rounded bottoms and a cinched back with a leather patch at the waistband. The Rigid finish comes in indigo denim from the Cone Mills of North Carolina – the company which is now closed. The slubby pattern on the raw fabric look amazingly spring fresh !<\/p>\n The Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae Vintage Clothing 606\u00c2\u00ae is the original slim-fitting jean — a modern icon, styled long and lean. It was first introduced in the late 1960’s for a new generation of Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae fans searching for slimmer and more stylish fits that wouldn’t break the bank. The reproduction faithfully recreates every element of the original and repeats the same manufacturing process. Like other Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae Jeans with the orange tab, the 606\u00c2\u00ae was made using efficient Line 8 construction, a simple and more cost-effective method that involved fewer steps. The garment is sewn together with bar tack stitches.<\/p>\n The Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae Vintage Clothing 1920s Balloons are a signature early-century style.

Worn by ranchers, rock stars, truck drivers and rebels, it’s known today as the “Trucker Jacket.”\u00c2\u00a0 This one has definitive Trucker details including the Big “E” red tab, another iconic mid-century feature.<\/p>\n The Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae Vintage Clothing 1933 501\u00c2\u00ae Jean offered a new variety of wearing options it was updated with belt loops, but still retained the popular cinch and suspender buttons. Some owners wore their jeans with a belt instead of suspenders. They cut off the cinch right at the rivet and removed the suspender buttons, choosing not to follow the style of older generations.<\/p>\n “Summer of Love” 1967 505\u00c2\u00ae is the classic slim-fitting jean of the 1960’s \u00c3\u0090 cut slim and straight all the way from the thigh to the ankle.

Despite the busy times, Levi Strauss and Co. stuck to the basics when it came to its most iconic style. The 1976 501\u00c2\u00ae Jeans is popular with vintage enthusiasts, not for the fit or details, but for the fabric. The color started out a bit brighter but faded out faster, a welcome change for Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae fans who wanted to fade their jeans as quickly as possible. This pair is made from classic Shrink-to-Fit\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 denim, which forms to the customer over time.<\/p>\n Rarely does a garment symbolize the American workforce like Levi’s\u00c2\u00ae 1936 Type I Jacket.
