MINE TRIP.
THE HUNT FOR DENIM IN DEATH VALLEY
The Levi’s® Vintage design team normally works in the office, using our amazing archive resources for reference and inspiration. All very nice, but when we were invited to travel to Death Valley and explore a silver mine that had lain disused for 130 years, we jumped at the chance. This would be research on another level and a chance to get a feeling for the people for whom our product was originally made.
After a long journey we arrived in the desert in the pitch dark night and caught a few hours sleep in a trail-er, waking to the dazzling light of the morning sun com-ing over the mountains. There was no time to lose before hiking to the mine became impossible in extreme heat. Carrying helmets with flashlights and wearing rigid Levi’s® we climbed over rock and scree until we reached
the mineshaft in the mountainside. Once inside we had to crawl on hands and knees in places until we reached a likely area. Then began the digging and scrabbling and moving of rubble. We found shirt sleeves, canvas bags, an old shoe and a little felt hat, and that was just on the first morning. All the normal detritus of a nineteenth century miner’s life, but to us a humbling experience. We were used to taking this kind of stuff out of tissue paper while wearing white gloves, and here it was in the rough, where the users had abandoned it. We talk a lot about Levi’s® origins as workwear, but this somehow made us realise what that actually meant. Those min-ers delved in the dark and the dirt in the hopes of treas-ure. They could never have guessed that the worn-out stuff they discarded would be pay dirt for the likes of us.

SPRING SUMMER 2013 LEVI’S® VINTAGE CLOTHING REPRODUCTION OF THE 1940s HAWAIIAN SHIRT
THE LEVI’S® ARCHIVE.
OUR FORTUNE AND OUR TREASURE
Safely preserved in a vault deep inside our headquarters in San Francisco lies an archive of over 20,000 rare and unique examples of Levi’s® clothing and artifacts dating back to as early as 1873. Kept at an even temperature and wrapped in un-bleached cotton, these delicate specimens are carefully protected by the Levi’s® Historian and strictly reserved for the use of our designers. Each season, our team pores through the archives with white-gloved hands, uncovering the secrets of
our past and then bringing them back into the world through faithful reproductions that are as fresh now as they were back then.

The term Hot Rod first appeared in California in the 1930s to describe cars with large engines modified for linear speed. These early cars (usually called soup-ups) were typically old T-Models from scrapyards customized by young enthusiasts with little or no money but a D.I.Y. punk attitude. After WWII Hot Rodding exploded and be-came one of post-war America’s biggest crazes. The cars were raced at tremendously high speeds on dry lake or river beds. To achieve these high speeds the cars were stripped of non-essential parts including fenders, hoods, windshields etc. to make the body as light as possible and fitted with Flathead engines. These engines had a simple design allowing virtually limitless performance enhance-ments. Money in their pockets and mechanical skills gained in the military made the production of dream cars pos-sible. By the 1950s sophisticated paint designs decorat-ed the body and competition in customizing became so fierce that top cars barely saw daylight except for drag strips and exhibition halls. Levi’s® clothing was first choice for the sharply dressed car owners and spectators. With ankle cropped pants and short sleeved shirts worn with straw hats their look was as considered as the ma-chines themselves. This sport and the people involved is what inspired the Levi’s® Vintage Clothing™ SS13 collection.
