WHO ARE WE
Roger and Marcel Grivec, twin brothers and denim afficionados since a very long time. We spend most of our childhood in the jeans store of our parents in the southern part of the Netherlands. Growing up with the ‘shrink-to-fit’ culture we became true denim hunters eversince. Books, movies, records and music play also big role in our life. In this photo documentary, we will try to unify with these true loves of ours. Enjoy and come back any time. Greetz Roger & Marcel

DENHAM SEWING SCHOOL
As Kids we grew up watching our mother cutting and sewing jeans at a Pfaff sewing machine. In those days there was only one length available, so she did all the hemming herself. As kids we played with the machine that is still running today. Many years later when our friend Jason Denham opened the Denham sewing academy we were the first that graduated. Now when our kids are in the store they also want to play with the sewing machines. time is repeating itself!

PONTIAC GTO
The most bizarre thing about the GTO is that it was never supposed to exist. “No high performance cars” was a mandate that came straight from the highest bosses of GM. But in 1964 the GTO was born. By many it’s considered the first true muscle car. GM took an intermediate size frame instead of a full-size lines as their competition did and could therefore mark it for a budget price. The option package was called GTO, which copied ferrari’s GTO (Gran Tourismo Omologato )model. For us the ’66 model is the nicest one they ever made!
