I recently found this 1970s snap button brown label the north face jacket. It was in terrible condition when I found it, left for dead practically. Being a vintage lover, I couldn’t let it go to a landfill. So I brought it home and after multiple soaks and stain treatments, it was brought back to life or at least wearable condition! Wanted to share it with you all!
I recently found this pair of Levi’s, at first glance I thought they were from the 1950s Levi’s area. But after inspecting them and doing some research turns out they are actually a prototype/showroom piece used in one of the European Levi’s factories for the “Levi’s red” line. Specifically labeled “not for resale” with an exact date of 2007. 11. 27. What makes them a 1 of 1 is that they still have the designers “edit marks” using a blue washable fabric marker. There are a few other prototypes out there online but I can’t find any other pairs with the actual designers editing marks and I thought that was really rad! I wanted to share in this forum since they are a true archival piece of Levi’s history. And as an avid Levi’s collector myself I thought you all may appreciate them too!
Specific Levi’s red details:
Gold button
Interior blue loops for hanging
