Levis vs Ralph Lauren

70’s vs 80’s, hippies vs preppies.

The Levi’s version, without an exact date, although the poster series was ranged from 1967-1984. This looks 70’s, or very early 80’s at latest. [source: Ebay] UPDATE: For crying out loud… I’ve featured this poster with some other denim related ads already.

By contrast, a super sterile looking Ralph Lauren ad featuring a generic, crappy skateboard. The advert ran in 1989. The kid is “skating” on gravel for Hosoi’s sake! [source: Ebay]
