EXCLUSIVE - Levi's Vintage Clothing SS14 @ atoo

This season's Levi's Vintage Clothing collection has just dropped at Birmingham based menswear retailer atoo, and the chaps have very kindly shot some exclusive images just for Buckets & Spades. Each season Levi's delve into their extensive archive, picking out key pieces and re-produce them with pinpoint accuracy. Levi's pay extremely close attention to the smallest detail - Sourcing correct materials for the labeling, sticking to the fits as they were originally intended and replicating construction techniques.

The collection, named "Treasure Island", features LVC's 1960 606 + 1947 501, the 1939 Gayway Souvenir Shirt (produced for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition), a Classic Sweatshirt, Short Sleeve Stripe Shirt and the soon-to-be-released suede jacket. I saw all the pieces at Jacket Required last summer and the attention to detail of the collection is this second-to-none.

The shoot took place at Parlour Hair barbershop, just down the road from the atoo's store; modeling the collection is Salon Owner, Phil.

EXCLUSIVE - atoo Autumn Looks

Birmingham based independent retailer atoo have been kind enough to offer some exclusive shots to Buckets & Spades of their Autumn collection. Featuring some of the store's newest arrivals, each look was shot locally and made up of pieces from their Autumn range, including Jean Machine, Jack Purcell and Armor-Lux.

I met a couple of the guys from atoo at Jacket Required, they're doing some really great stuff and have some excellent brands on board for this coming AW. It's great to see an independent standing out in a busy market.

Watch out for my full report from Jacket Required later in the week.
