Some of the very old denim jeans & jackets that were found through the years.


The past 10 years I have seen and able to touch and feel plenty of jeans, jacket. Here are some pics of older denim jeans surfaced these years. Some were found in old dude ranch, some were found in old abandoned mine shafts. I will be showing part of my collections in this site too.

Note: I do not encourage mine exploring or removing of old artifacts that were found in the old mine. Make sure you know what you are doing and be responsible to history.

Pls do not wash, attempt to clean these old denim after you found them. By doing this, you were erasing the history away. Just leave the poor dang denim alone! Thank you.
