Featuring men's jean jackets, button-down shirts and cozy knits, the new collection by Levi's Vintage Clothing pays homage to American folk music, specifically its epicenter in New York City's Greenwich Village where musicians like Bob Dylan honed their craft.

Distressed denim, suede and corduroy brings the collection's bohemian nature to life, while key silhouettes are pulled straight from Levi's own archives.

Highlights in the collection include the Climate Seal Jacket, a bomber-style jacket from the '50s with Sherpa lining and front welt pockets; the suede Sherpa Trucker jacket in golden nugget yellow; and the 1967 505 jeans, a slim-fitting jean remade for 2019 with selvedge denim and the big "E" red tab.

"Folk music from that period in Greenwich Village changed the course of popular music and inspired a lot of what we see around us today and take for granted," said Paul Dillinger, Levi's Strauss & Co. head of global product innovation, told Rivet. "The collection is based on how these folk singers styled themselves with a dressed-down approach which oozed style and was very 'Levi's.'"

The collection retails for $88 for T-shirts to $1,495 for the suede Trucker. Jeans are available in men's sizes 28-38, while jackets S-XL and shirts S-2XL are available.

It's not just Levi's that's going back in time. As the fashion clocks turn back, denim brands look to their historical garments for inspiration.

In honor of its 50th anniversary this year, Gap launched a collection of its most iconic looks since its beginning in 1969. It featured denim styles from the '70s, carpenter jeans and a chore jacket based on '80s workwear, '90s-inspired jean jackets and more.

Lee also debuted a "vintage modern" collection in August.

Add secondhand clothes to this year's holiday shopping list, Dallas shoppers say - The Dallas Morning News

Posted: 30 Sep 2019 09:03 PM PDT

Just when retailers and consumers thought they had a handle on holiday shopping, things have changed again, according to a new survey from Accenture.

Issues of sustainability and security are factoring into people's thinking, according to the results released Tuesday, which also said Dallas shoppers plan to spend $667 on holiday purchases, more than the national average of $637.

A growing group of shoppers, 62% in Dallas, say it's acceptable to buy "vintage" clothing as a gift and wrap it — or not — if saving the environment is a concern. Shoppers said secondhand is OK for gifts either because it's in vogue or because they've become critical of fashion waste.

The same number in Dallas said they approve of greener delivery options, such as waiting for online orders to be bundled into one box to reduce the environmental impact. Dallas' affirmative response was higher than the 50% national average.

Jill Standish, senior managing director and head of Accenture's global retail practice, said the shopping scene "has entered into an era of responsible retail where consumers are becoming more environmentally and socially conscious and will increasingly turn to brands that not only talk about responsibility but demonstrate it through business practices."

Some stores are responding to millennials who are selling their used clothing on social media, said Lori Zumwinkle, Accenture's North American retail lead. ThredUP has added departments in J.C. Penney and Macy's stores.

Neiman Marcus added a luxury vintage section to its new store in New York's Hudson Yards and purchased a stake in pre-owned handbag retailer Fashionphile. Dallas-based Forty Five Ten also added vintage to its Hudson Yards store.

Young millennials, ages 21 to 27, are quickly adopting the concept of renting clothes for holiday parties. In Dallas, 27% of respondents said they are likely to wear a rented outfit when partying this season vs. the national average of 24%.

And more shoppers plan to buy in stores vs. online due to the inspiration they get from physical stores and to avoid package theft from their doorsteps, Zumwinkle said.

"Stores still matter. Shoppers still value the store experience, with 80% in Dallas saying they plan to shop in stores," Zumwinkle said. "Retailers are doing a good job of integrating the store and online experience."

A whopping 30% of respondents in Los Angeles and San Francisco said they've had online purchases stolen from their doorsteps, but the incident rate was less in Dallas at 21% and lowest in Charlotte with 14%. Still, more people (84% in Dallas) are taking steps to prevent thefts by picking up packages in stores or scheduling deliveries when someone will be home, according to the survey.

The national results showed some caution in spending this year. The two biggest reasons cited were that they were worried about rising food bills (32%) and wanted to limit credit card debt (31%).

Fewer people said they would spend more than last year, 28% vs. 36%, and more said they would spend less, 15% vs. 11% last year. But the number of people who said they will spend about the same as last year was higher at 57% vs. 53%.

Accenture's findings are based on a national survey of 1,500 shoppers covering all age groups and separate surveys of 500 consumers each in 17 large cities, including Dallas.

And as far as Dallas overall, Zumwinkle said, "The Dallas economy is good. You're still seeing investments there. That means Dallas should have a good holiday."
