We just got word that Levi’s and Original Fake are continuing their collaboration this year. Denim Geek reported last year that the legendary denim label were teaming up with KAWS and Co for a few select samples and this 2010 will see a joint project re-working the 501 1944 jean from the Levi’s Vintage Collection.

Like last year, the jeans feature KAWS’s Chomper teeth on the back pocket as well as details which are pulled straight from the 1940s. If you like the look of them, these jeans should be available soon from Original Fake and www.levi.com.

It’s a first!  Come september, the Original Fake x Levis Collaboration will be available in the UK and Europe.  Now in it’s fifth edition and never before released outside Japan, this exciting collaboration is bringing fits to London in extremely limited numbers.  Denim Geek has been told that only 48 pairs of these 12oz indigo denim jeans will be available in the UK, with 24 pairs available from Selfridges and 24 pairs at Cinch London.

Two of the styles will be based on the vintage Levi’s 501 fit, with a third cargo jean using a silhouette from Original Fake’s mainline collection.  The 501s will be iconic styles from 1947 and 1955 and will feature a customised zip fly.  All three pieces will include Original Fake founder and legendary graffiti artists KAWS’ unique tooth design on the rear pockets and also on the selvedge, which should really set off the jeans when worn turned up.  The cargo pants are offered in pure rigid denim but the dark wash on the 501s is inspired by KAWS’ own vintage Levis jeans.

This capsule collection will only be available in 7 stores in Europe with the two London stores the only places in the UK to grab a pair of these rather special jeans.  We believe the prices will start at around £250.
