丹寧粉、軍裝迷、復古工裝狂熱者必讀刊物!
Avant為法國人Eric Maggiori 所創立的半年刊,追溯歷史上各種階層及行業的衣著,從古代到現今,以至於未來的趨勢,內容豐富、圖文並茂,編輯團隊以實事求是的精神,為讀者回溯歷史的演變。
In this second issue, An Anthology of American Militaria, we dig into military clothing with particular focus on the U.S armed forces during the Great Wars of the 20th century.
We converse with Paul Milbury, Bob Chatt, and Jeff Spielberg, three vintage dealers and collectors passionate about History and Militaria. We talk with eight experts about the impact of social media on the vintage market. We discuss the deontological limits associated with collecting Militaria.
We explore the West Coast Militaria collectors show in Pomona, an event you definitely can’t miss if you’re a Militaria fan. We also teach you how to decipher the labels attached to military garments.

牛仔褲該如何清洗?
藍灘丹寧集結過往經驗,統整出最佳清洗建議。
原色褲首次洗滌時間約為第六個月為佳,頭一年建議泡水清潔即可,往後清洗請翻面裝入洗衣袋,並使用柔洗,切勿使用衣物柔軟精及漂白成分洗劑,勿烘乾。
刷色褲則建議在購買後兩個月後清洗,同樣裝入洗衣袋使用柔洗,勿烘乾,往後建議數月清洗一次,避免褲子變色、發黃。

注意事項 & 通用洗滌建議
所有原色牛仔布、藍染產品都可能產生染料轉移的現象,請注意新品與淺色衣物、傢俱的接觸。此現象經過頭幾次洗滌以後會逐漸改善。
我們建議所有衣物清洗上都要加洗衣袋;絕對不要烘乾;絕對不要使用柔軟精;以及絕對不要使用含漂白成分的洗衣精。
如果能以柔洗、低轉速功能洗衣,為最推薦的方式。
