The Jeansmuseum - (Looking for your heavy/ used raw denim)

[swiss-jeansfreak]

It's not about somebody specific. It's a general call to all denim heads to keep their heavy used raw denim stuff alive for ever not on the virtual net only but also in the real world. That's the main goal of the Jeansmuseum.

Use your stuff as long as possible, keep them in your personal collection or just hang them on your wall, but if there are any changes in your life circumstances and you wanna get rid of them at any time, then the Jeansmusuem is the place to preserve your beloved favorite items in a safe place for ever.

I am going to move this to General Chat as it is more of a discussion than a B&S thing…

EDIT: Moved

Great pics Finn…This is unbelievable Ruedi!

[Finn666]

and we only can imagine what is hiding in all those boxes…:)

so support this man, so he can expend his collection even further and can finally move it into a bigger home...so he can display every single piece...

[jimmy]

Maybe a fundraising collab ? Thinking out loud

[Finn666]

i think Ruedi is excepting everything, from denim to dollars…

Sorry guys for my late reply
I must have been blind the last few weeks that I have overseen all those comments on this thread

But at least I wanna say thank you to all you guys with all those compliments.
And Finn666: Thanks a lot for your great Photo work!!!! Amazing for myself to see the first time parts of the Jeansmuseum in the net.

And of course all you guys are more then welcome to check out the little Jeansmusuem. I'm sure you would love to stay in the middle of 7000 pants and 5000 denim jackets from the 50ies till now

Since my childhood, when we got 2 Levis (from the fifties) donated at the end of sixties in our poor and large 12 person family in a little Swiss alpine village, I'm completely hooked up about raw denim rags.

Since then raw denim rags are flowing through my body instead of blood

And since 1973 I have started collecting all kind of raw denim rags from second hand shops, flea markets, dump stations, internet and so on

Now the Jeansmuseum encourage all people, to use their raw denim stuff as long as possible. And when you can't use them anymore, hang them on a wall, or frame them or what ever. But just never throw them away!!!! The Jeansmuseum offers a safe place to all your beloved favorite denim items, where they can survive for ever, what they deserve for sure after a long and hard life

[Indigo Queen]

It's amazing!!!

If I have any worn out denim that I think should belong in the museum, I wouldn't hesitate to donate.

At the moment I keep my "Deadstock" that I can't bear to part with in my mums wardrobe but if I can ever bear to part with it I know where to go.

I'd give anything to be well enough to travel to visit one day, but I'm too fragile at the moment so I'll just enjoy the pics.
