Old-Clothes Articles.

Japanese English

These are condensed, mobile-friendly versions of the vintage clothing articles originally written for my sister site, Hooked-on. If anything catches your interest, I hope you'll visit Hooked-on as well.

The images on this site are formatted in a tall portrait orientation for mobile. On a desktop screen they'll appear quite large. If that's not to your preference, the original versions are on Hooked-on.

This site, Interest, rebuilds the Hooked-on articles — originally written on WordPress — using Drupal, and takes advantage of Drupal's features to enable reverse-lookup navigation and browsing by article relationships. My hope is that visitors leave with their sense of interest — their curiosity — a little more expanded.

These articles cover the vintage pieces I own: Levi's, Lee, and other vintage denim; American military clothing; European vintage. Every piece is something I'm genuinely attached to and wear with care. American casual has been part of my wardrobe since I was young — an easy, unforced approach to dressing that I've kept up for years.

Levi’s 502 60’s Model

A Levi's 502 from the late 1960s — a zip-fly model produced for just three years — with heavy fading and multiple repairs that make it a pair I can wash and wear through summer without a second thought. The zip fly is easier to live with than buttons, and the length works perfectly with both sneakers and sandals.

Levi’s 501XX 1954

The Levi's 501 has a long history and an established vintage secondary market, with examples ranging from the 19th century to the present. This article introduces the 501XX — the model that collectors most often identify as the definitive 501, and the one I love most.

US ARMY M43 HBT Field Jacket

I have a fondness for US military clothing — the unlined M43 for spring and summer, the lined M65 for autumn and winter. This article covers the M43, which sees the most use in the warmer months. Made from cotton herringbone twill, it develops a distinctive character with age and pairs exceptionally well with vintage jeans and summer shorts.

Levi’s 501XX 1955

The 1955 Model is the paper patch era 501XX — the last model to carry the 501XX name. Identified by the off-centre centre belt loop, Big E double-sided tab, and copper-plated rivets.

Lee 101-Z 50’s Center Black tag

Originally made for cowboys, the 101-Z sits higher in the rise and cuts a slightly roomier silhouette than the 501.

French Moleskin Jacket

I love American vintage, but this time I'm shifting my focus to Europe — French vintage in particular.
