It sure is!.. Whilst posting: any good books with tons of pics and preferably in English on this subject?.. I mean 'real' vintage gear (1850-1940)… Schiffer has a lot of titles...

Seul-  Have you seen this one?  There is also a thread on Sufu with the same title.

Nice, I have to check that out!

[Seul]

Tom: I can send you my copy for free if ya want!.. Just PM me your addy and I'll have it in the mail tomorrow. No need to ship back: just hand it over to the another forum member who wants to read it.

Hmm, let me think on it…may want it as a coffee table book so people can at least somewhat understand the jeans I buy (most don't get it).

^This book should be essential reading for all, cant wait for the next volume.

That's a very generous offer Seul, I can't honestly say I would want to let my copy go!

[Seul]

Well, I don't really care what you do with it. I've read it and have no use for it… Up to you...

Seul, feel free to post whatever fit in, in here… like a kaleidoscope of blasts from the pasts.. will change the title if needed...

Great site http://www.e-workers.net a lot of the text - most of it is Japanese but still a great resource.

Another nice denim book is  DENIM  From Cowboys to Catwalks
pretty interesting.  just like the title suggests it has a little history on denim from the creation of the levi's brand all the way up until the modern day, with blurbs about evis and even leading up to the creation of fashion denim brands through the 80s/90s.  Best part of the book though is the vintage denim pics.

I have this book and I also have Jeans of the Old West from Mr. Harris.  If I had to pick ONE I would totally choose Jeans of the Old West… which I find has a little more info and really awesome photos... not to mention that the DENIM book is a little tough to find if you don't want to pay an outrageous amount.  I found my copy on eBay

Hope I figured out the right thread to post this, a truly awesome article from Ruedi, none other than our esteemed Swiss Jeansfreak, about intense fading and comparisons  -hardly ever seen!-  of different denim items worn by the same person(s).
