Brit Eaton, A True Denimhunter

The Playboy website was one place we didn’t expect to end up on the trail of a true Denimhunter.

Nevertheless, we found this video on the Playboy website portraying Brit Eaton. It’s a glimpse into his fascinating day-to-day search for the rarest and most sought after denim pieces.

His work may involve rummaging through abandoned houses, tearing apart ghost towns or spelunking through an abandoned mine; Brit rests at nothing to discover “the blue gold.”

An Important Man For Denim History

Brit Eaton’s discoveries go off to designers, private collectors, and fashion houses. The Levi’s Archives houses a great many of Brits finds. There is no doubt that without him, the history of the blue jean would be much murkier.

The video in the link sounds like it should be a trailer for a much bigger project, it would be awesome if this was the case, but we can’t confirm anything for sure.

So, for now just sit back and enjoy watching this short clip of the people and places Brit finds out there whilst on the hunt.

Matt Wilson

Before turning his attention toward clothing and fashion, Matt Wilson was a product designer. He witnessed first-hand the unethical manufacture of products designed and developed specifically for obsolescence and quickly recognised the inherent dangers of this attitude towards consumerism. A happy chance occurred when he discovered Raw Denim. Fascinated by the narrative contained in each garment, this newfound passion led him into a journey of discovery through the fashion and clothing industry. The qualities he found in a great pair of jeans he soon found in other garments, shoes and accessories. Up until February 2017, Matt was heavily involved with Selvedge Run, a trade show for menswear, shoes and accessories. A home for brands with a philosophy that aligned perfectly with his principles of craft and quality at the core of a good product. He now shares this passion the as the Editor of Rope Dye, an online men’s lifestyle magazine about the passion for well-crafted menswear as well as other cherished products and designs that baulk against today’s throw-away culture.
