        here we go ladies and gents…

        this update is one month overdue...so before i left switzerland, since my work is done there, i thought i should drive to Zürich again to visit the VMC shop (some pics will follow in that thread as well!) and o/course Ruedi (swiss_jeansfreak) the chocolate eating monster :)...

        since there are some changes from my first visit (see page1!), i think i´ll now let the pics do the talking...enjoy 😉

        so, this is the entry of the "old" jeansroom (check page1!)...as you can see Ruedi has already been working on moving stuff into the new room and now this one´s looking pretty "empty" 🙂

        all those boxes still need to get sorted (~10.000pieces!)

        since he´s also updating his website he now even has a place where he can shoot proper pics of his goods…

        ok, so right beside the old one ruedi now hired a 2nd room.
        the entry into raw-denim-paradise…

        enjoy 🙂

        there`s some crazy stuff lying around (sup MM? 😉 )

        now there´s even space for a worktable (25oz IH-denim!)

        working

        a tiny tiny bit of the whole collection

        you know these G.? 🙂

        the boxes with white stickers are already sorted

        ruedi talking bout raw denim

        25oz vs. 21oz

        sup stubborn crew?

        vintage carhartt double knee loggers

        compared to a "newer" type of carhartt double knees

        denim double knee loggers

        they´ve changed the tag over the years

        Iron Heart, Carhartt, Carhartt (top to bottom!)

        Iron Heart

        Hells Angels 😉

        at the end he showed me some more pics on his macbook
        as you can see, all 6 pairs worn by the same guy…check the similar fading!

        so that´s it…hope you enjoyed the show 😉

                    I think we all was pretty speechless on our first visit…

                    And to say it in the words of ruedi, he's "married to raw-denim!"...and chocolate 😃

                            Thanks Rafa for your huge and massive update. You're a perfect photographer!!!!

                            All you raw denim heads are more then welcome to stop at my place.

                            And if your beloved favorite raw denim rag shall survive for ever in the real world and not in the virtuel world only, you know now at least a safe place where you can send them.

                            The Jeansmuseum promises you, that not any single piece of raw denim rag will ever be thrown away after it has reached the museum

                            It's like sending some money to swiss banks hahaha

                            ^^^ @Hemi: Like Rafa already answered: I'm married with my raw denim stuff, so no wife around me.

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

                            ^^About making a movie: I have some plans about this and also about writingh a book. Anby suggestions to this long term project just send me a PM

                            Really roughest vintage or raw denim rags deserves to survive for ever! So never throw away any raw denim rags - Use them as long as possible and when it comes to their end - there is a safe place where your favorite items can rest in peace for ever in the Jeansmseum ruedi.karrer@jeansmuseum.org

                                      I already had eaten quite a bunch of chocolate these first days of 2012!!!
                                      And I'm still enjoying my old raw Denime pants and Lee Storm Rider 101-LJ blanket lined denim jacket.

                                      Although in pretty rough condition now

                                          But I'm always quite sticky on my old stuff.
                                          I love them more and more.
                                          And I just can't stop wearing them, untill people are trying to kill me because of those rough raw denim stuff getting wilder and wilder every day.

                                          My right front pocket is dissolving and disapearing more and more atm
