UNIFORM | Levi's Vintage Clothing
It's lookbook season, and whenever that comes around I get excited to see what Levi's Vintage Clothing puts together. Their American-made Orange Tab collection for Fall/Winter 2014 lookbook is beautiful and epic as they all have been. Orange Tab was introduced for young Americans in the 60s and 70s as an affordable arm of the Levi's brand, and today it's made exactly as it was when it was first introduced. There's something so visceral about their images and art direction that makes me feel (appropriately) so nostalgic for Levi's of the past. The other good news is that LVC is now shopable online at Levi.com for the first time ever.

That is a little confusing. Hmmm...I'll try and find out about that. You might want to also try calling the Levi's store in Malibu it has a huge selection of LVC, amazing store, they may be able to help you source something.

I was a little disappointed when I saw that the recreation of the 'affordable' line of Orange Tag items have not tranlated into affordability for today - the 606 skinny jeans will run you $215 today. I realize that it's probably a much smaller run of clothing than in the old days and it was most likely problematic to resource material and construction methods but that still seems a little steep.
From Levi's:
Some pieces haven't dropped yet and others weren't purchased by the e-commerce team. While this is the first time that such a large assortment of Levi's Vintage Clothing styles are available in one place, some pieces are still only available at other retailers such as Mill Mercantile.

@Poppy K Yeah, I hear that. I think also denim production in the USA versus overseas today is way more expensive.
I saw that some of the other LVC pieces are made in Portugal - it made me feel like LVC was a bit fake, to be honest.
