One of the coolest people we know, Jay Carroll, left his position at Rogues Gallery recently in order to go on a road trip for Levi’s. His mission? To document his trip and buy some awesome Americana along the way. Carroll traveled from Portland, Maine, to San Francisco stopping in general stores, vintage shops, garage sales and more buying the best clothes, art and knicknacks he could find. His travel buddy, photographer Nate Bressler took pictures of the people they met. The images and stuff are now on display in the Levi’s Union Square flagship in SF in an exhibition called One Trip Pass: Stars and Stripes. More pics after the jump.
