A second deep dive into the most collectible American workwear ever made—the kind of details only true obsessives notice. Inside you'll discover Chinese immigration during the Gold Rush, a forgotten chapter of American history, and the true story behind rare Levi's jeans from 1880 discovered in a California mine. Collector details are decoded, including chinstraps, vent holes, and other workwear "tells." Features interviews with legends: Lynn Downey (Levi's historian), Rin Tanaka, Larry McKaughan, Akira Tsuchida, and Michael Harris. The cover features a unique painting, Three Horse Power, by Greg Newbold, created exclusively for AVANT.
