Outstanding shots!
Love the Levis, the only issue I have is the kids are about 15 maybe 16 years old and i'm a 42 year old attempting to dress like them! Kinda wierd.
Many thanks for those, absolutely superb and informative vintage denim pics. You gotta love Life, such a vast archive of excellent photography thank goodness they had the foresight to document to such an extent.

Haha! My girl friend thinks I dress like an extra from the Shawshank redemption.
The blog you mentioned is really cool for vintage everything.

Ok, time to date myself!!
Ah, I remember those days--the peach pomade and butch-wax in the hair, the leather shoes/white socks (white socks were definitely in back then), the jean legs rolled up..... BTW, it was very very very uncool (at least where I was) to wear a pair of brand new, stiff, perfectly blue, right-off-the-shelf jeans outside (and definitely not to school)! We would wash them (had Mom do it, of course) several times, then take them outside and literally kick them around in the dirt and grass to "break them in" before even daring to wear them in public for the first time! When they finally faded out somewhat (and got rips in the knees or pockets), that was even cooler. No $200.00 "stone-washed", artificially faded with tailored rips, designer jeans then!!
Oh my god, I'm still wearing jeans (and a couple even have holes in the pockets!)
:lol:
