The next time you find yourself in San Francisco do yourself a favor and stop by the the recently furnished Levis store. On the lower level where the Tailor Shop is housed, LVC has stocked the floor with all 9 Made In These United States 501’s from 1890-1966 (1890, 15, 33, 44, 47, 54 501z, 55 & 66). If denim isnt your flavour, youll find a bevy of the most classical of american vintage items along with a sprinkle of LVC 1920’s Made In America tees, henleys, Sunset shirts and a personal favorite, the 1936 Type I jacket. Love a pleat & buckleback!
The vintage tees, flannels and military pants (ALL MADE IN USA) sit on repurposed white oak barn siding that has been plane & sanded. (for you interior folk) 
denim wall- Constructed from salvaged city of San Francisco scaffolding that was deemed unsafe for SF city workers..ties nicely with the city that gave birth to Levi’s & the 501!
50’s L.L. Bean

I love how the masking tape they used for inventory purposes remained on! 
In addition to selling vintage and LVC, the tailor shop is now cranking out aprons of canvas duck and lining a selection of Big E type 3 denim jackets with 1940’s camp blankets. I normally have problems with reworked vintage but i quite like these.
Two jeans from 1890-1900 are being redone. The Barnyard (shown above) and the Spurbites shown below (worn by some cowboy, the cuff area is all beaten up from his spur) and will be available at this location. Both jeans were originally made right here (w/ pure indigo dyed 90z Amoskeag plain selvage denim) in Hippie Dippie San Fran Skippie.

Gots to love a man who makes his own pleats.
Would you look at their hats! If you want to have fun with your fedora, take a page out of their book!

Wow. This week I hope to bring you shoes, alot of shoes of the men of New York Fashion Week. Not sure how I feel about these here. I do love a Mary Jane on a fella, juts not sure this is it. I leave it up to you, the general public to decide.
I do like this kids kit. Something about a really oversized shirt I will never get tired of. Maybe because I never felt like I could pull it off. Maybe its not for me, or for you, but I like how he does it. I especially love the contrast button-down collar!
