Some are odd , most are interesting, some totally unique & a lot are vintage.
Number one on the list of desirable archived items would be any vintage Levis, usually commanding immediate close inspection by collectors, with most models are already a known quantity,due to a dwindling supply of any true originals remaining.
However, here is one original ''vintage'' from the Ijin Vault that has never been seen in public before...
Lets start by saying they are a mere 20 years old & probably 517 Bootlegs , so of little real worth as they stand as an actual model.
Until you really check them out....
These legs have been re sewn & repaired so many times that they have actually taken on a new personality & they are so beautifully soft & shredded that they can almost be stroked .
The cloth has totally disintegrated in areas like the crotch & the back pockets, that there is practically no original cloth left at all.
Inside just gets better...
As we can see they are almost totally re-sewn & mended so many times that they are technically quilted.
And this was the belt carrier...
*Many thanks to Jimmy Becci for his kind donation to the Ijin archive & especially to his Grandmother for having re-sewn his jeans for the last 2 decades with love & dedication & for having created a true denim masterpiece, whose worth as a labour of love far exceeds the value of its original cost.
Remarkable & priceless.
