The Vintage Buyers and Sellers Quiz. I am a very lucky person. I am often asked H.D.Y.G.T.F.A.J.? (or, How Did You Get That Awesome F****g Job?) There are many perks to dealing in the vintage world aside from the clothing and the experiences. There are also countless people I meet and get to know personally. […]
Levi’s Lifestyle.
This week we invite you to pause and reflect on the beauty of the Levi’s 501 jean. These, as part of our inventory, graciously agreed to be photographed in their natural state, in our warehouse. Contact us any time to place an order.
Rockies Jeans.
Rockies were born from a merger between two major western shirt manufacturers – the Miller Stockman Company and the Prior Company. Prior sold a line of women’s denim under the brand name Rocky Mountain Jeans (which if you find today, are still Rockies, or shall was say, the O.G. Rockies). Miller Stockman ran with the idea […]
The Ringer.
The 70’s. The ME Decade. Women’s Rights. Civil Rights. Cultural Movements. Fashion Movements. Slogan tees became so popular that you could literally wear whatever you wanted on your sleeve (or chest, or back).

Billie Holliday once told a reporter that she never sang the same song twice. Some nights she sang it sad, some nights she sang it happy, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. If […]

(We will use the word ‘true’ in reference to denim that was made in America, as that’s what Levi’s is calling their ‘Authorized […]
An Eye-Melting Collection of 1970’s Denim Advertising
The 70’s were weird. And allow me to clarify immediately by saying the 70’s were not weird in a bad way. I’ll be brief – today’s advertising has alienated the general masses. Who can identify with any of these campaigns? Perhaps the “Me” decade (thanks, Tom Wolfe) was more honestly about us ‘me’s’ in […]
