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

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

Does he also run a chimp sanctuary?there´s denim in ALL those boxes ;D…not kidding (check page1)!

huge update from the post above follows in a few minutes -

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
-
i'm speechless
-
Any new screen name suggestion would be appreciated.
Although I like the swiss-jeansfreak pretty much
happy New Year to everybody!
Enjoy all your current and further raw denim projects
The main gaol from the Jeansmuseum in 2012 is to keep going the raw denim spirit alive for ever!!! -
Thanks rocket, same to you. Hope you have a lot of fun and success in 2012.
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
-
Yeahh I know, plenty of stuff around me.
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
