      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

              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?

                    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….
