A Levi's Demise...

Denim, a durable cotton twill fabric, originated in Nîmes, France, and was popularized by Levi Strauss in the 19th century. Initially valued for its strength and longevity, denim has evolved into a global fashion staple.

Japanese denim, emerging in the mid-20th century, is renowned for its craftsmanship, using vintage looms and natural dyes to create high-quality fabric with unique textures. Upcycling denim has gained traction recently, driven by sustainability efforts to reduce textile waste by transforming old garments into new pieces.

Denim fashion has been influenced by various cultural styles:

1. Boro: A Japanese method of patching and repairing worn textiles, creating unique, textured garments.

2. Western Wear: In the U.S., denim became iconic in cowboy culture, featuring rugged designs and embroidery.

3. Streetwear: Embraced by urban culture, denim in streetwear includes bold designs, innovative cuts, and distressed finishes.
   

This Jacket commissioned by our good friend "Mack One" exemplifies a little bit of each of these techniques and styles to make this composition of a piece right here. 2 Pairs of Levis, a pair of Wranglers, and some Rustlers. Consisting of over 40 different patches, sewn and pleated together all by hand. Featuring a nice collared bomber silhouette, with a fitted waistband including all original hardware and tags. The waistbands for the arms were repurposed for hanging arm straps as you might be able to see from the pictures provided. Completely a hundred percent hand cut, sewn, and even distressed. Featuring a light, poly/spandex liner for comfort and insulation.

A beautiful set of pictures shot on a high-rise parking gallery, in the biggest little city in the world; Reno, Nevada, Mack One (Commissioner and Model) rocking his new favorite jacket. There is no doubt that this thing is hard.
