The other day my girlfriend said: "Everything you do is somehow always related to a denim project!" and she's absolutely right ;-)
This time I have bought myself a piece of land that will be cultivated as an organic kitchen garden with herbs, potatoes, carrots, strawberries, etc..
The garden is located 30 km away from the center of Copenhagen and here is completely quiet and peaceful. You can only hear the sound of insects and horse neigh.
No neighbours only horses
The garden...
...same spot a few beers later.
This place is a perfect location to break in a pair of LVC Knappave 1880 jeans. I will wear them every time I work in the garden and I'm pretty sure they will become really dirty with time. My dream is to create a beautiful pair of worn in 1880s with nice vintage looking fades.
First day in the garden with my brand new 1880s
This is actually my second pair of 1880s. The first pair was a failure. I started out with a 5 hour hot soak and tumbled them dry because they hadn't shrunk at all (the tag inside says 10% shrinkage), and the jeans were totally destroyed after that. I returned them to the shop and got a full refund. This time I've bought them in a smaller size and I'm wearing them raw and unsoaked.
Levis Vintage Knappave 1880 details:
The Knappave jeans comes in 12.5oz white selvage pure indigo denim with original suspender buttons, right-hand twill, cinch back, button fly and irregular arcuate stitching. Cut in a loose fit with plenty of anti-fit in the seat area. These jeans also have a real leather patch that is hand stitched on the upper center waistband, hand applied flat rivets, original white stitching and only one back pocket (the second back pocket was added in 1901). I'm wearing a size 33/34. The waist runs one size bigger than tagged size.

Everything kept in these pockets will become blue
