In a speed-driven era of mass production, its maybe a good idea to stop and think, what we are missing on. With Levis, celebrating its craftsmen this season, i think a lot of credit goes out to the unsung heroes who create the individual pieces. A visit to Double RL, few years back to seeing what levis is doing today- it all sums up- craftsmanship is where the beauty lies. Figured a way, a budget way to create close to what i’d love to buy- take a raw jeans- a good quality one (preferably a loose fit, if a selvedge- even better)- and simply wear it for months till the results start showing. Of course a careful hand wash or two would be required. p.s. nothing can outshine the real aged jeans. The best-looking jeans are without a doubt the ones that break in with time.
