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

[jacoavlu]

swiss-jeansfreak you need a new screen name
I think the one you have now is too subtle

[swiss-jeansfreak]

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!!!

happy new year to you too Ruedi, may a bunch of raw and chocolateness come your way 

[swiss-jeansfreak]

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

[rocket]

thanks, was sure you had.. and in case these ones give up, there is plenty of more ready to go anyway….

did you made any use of the superblack jacket from the party, hope so, such a nice one...

[swiss-jeansfreak]

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

Make sure to know when to abandon ship… Don't wanna see ya get pinched for indecent exposure...

[rocket]

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Seul. No worries, I'll fix the worst rips at the wrong places at time.

And rocket: I'm not sure if people are interested to see the same pants over and over.
But if wished I can update some new posts soon

[TinMan]

just come across this thread…..... very cool.  a lot of stories in there.

[TinMan]

I have lived in Kansas all my life and did not know this.  I need to start hitting the thrift stores around here and see If I can find some og LEE goods.

[rocket]

happy hunting….

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Thanks for your comments TinMan

In Kansas you should have seen quite a lot of old Lee and Levis stuff around there. At least untill the early eighties.
Can't tell about the mordern times though.

If you find some really heaviest used and worn out raw denim items from Kansas area, let me know at any time.

I'm busy with sorting out all the many stuff acumulated over the last 38 years from the fifties till now.
But I'm busy on my real job as geographer and next week there is the B&B in Berlin already.

Where is my spare life, I  need urgently for covering my raw denim life?

[thomasnunnally]

Finn, thanks for posting that.  It is a really good read!

[swiss-jeansfreak]

Thanks Raffa for adding my article from Rawr Denim on this forum.

I myself could never throw away any raw denim rags.
And luckily I can still fit in to my old stuff worn by me 25 years ago.
I really love to wear the hell out of them over years and years, watching their brave fight against their death….

[Finn666]
