      i've got that book too. some pretty interesting facts but very vague and some what repetitive. only takes couple of days to read it properly. i am hoping he does a follow on book because i am really more interested in after 1890s which is when the book ends.

        I actually thought the book was pretty average.  I am not holding my breath for the sequel…....

          When he starts naming brands and pointing out all the small differences, that's when I was out… Got through it in one afternoon... But I liked the history bit...

          Has anyone read 'Denim: an American story'?..

                I have read that book this summer - pretty good!..

                I went on a little splurge… Atelier LaDurance goods:



                couple of nice items there - great summer gear

                  Yep - and another jacket… As if I needed one... I think I have 5 or 6 already... Couldn't say no to the 120 € pricetag though... I think it's an older item that was still made in France. Not sure though, but really couldn't care less... I see this as a 2ndhandpurchase (eBay) although the items are NWT...

                      Yep - it's not a collection I add to frequently but it is exactly that. Beautiful gear that one day will be sought after by a hard core of €uro poofs with 80 € haircuts… This 0 € haircut €uro is ahead of the curve, I tell ya!..

                      (Stay away from ALDs leather goods though...)

                                          to be fair there is just not a lot of info out there around that era [on jeans] how is the history of IH coming along 🙂

                                          no, do you recommend it?
