Cool Hunting
PRPS, the 3 year old denim brand, has become well known among denim connoisseurs for their attention to detail. Made from African cotton woven into denim on vintage Levis shuttle looms in Japan, their productions are small batch but super high quality—making PRPS products often sought, but rarely found. Denim quality is just the beginning though, their distressing and aging techniques yield beautiful results. With their latest line they've gone into even more detail by adding patches, embroidery and pen drawing. Don't worry, it looks much better than it sounds. Also exciting is that they're adding a new, slimmer cut to the line which was previously all about being baggy.
Many pictures after the jump.

We were among the excited first today to check out A.P.C.'s latest store (and the second of their outlets worldwide) today in Brooklyn. Called A.P.C. Surplus for its flat 60% discounted prices, the Williamsburg storefront is housed in a beautiful former bank with plenty of rustic charm (i.e. it looks as if it recently caught fire). At only 600 square feet, the space feels...
With a new cut and the only eco selvage that we know of, there's a lot to like about Loomstate's new Reflection jeans for Barneys. Part of a larger line by Loomstate called Barneys Green, the pioneers of eco-chic denim make Reflections from organic cotton (like all their jeans). But, what sets these raw denim jeans apart from the cadres of similar organic jeans...
If you're over tight jeans these days, then WESC's new 686 Raw Selvage Jeans are the way to go. Baggy, but not early '90s baggy, they're a medium-rise, straight leg pant with a more generous cut than super skinnies. Part of their premium denim line, the Japanese fabric (it's ring spun denim, produced on vintage shuttle looms with a handmade finishing process) features a...
Sydney, Australia is responsible for producing many of the world's most original, unique and successful denim brands including Tsubi, Sass&Bide and Nobody, so it comes as no surprise that Maise, the latest denim line about to make it's mark on the international fashion scene, was started by ex-TopShop designer and Sydney-sider Claire Greaves. Designed for the "confident, modern and fashion forward girl," Maise is...
Since gaining a following that includes megastore Urban Outfitters for their tees, Brooklyn-based line The Rise and Fall made their first foray into denim that's refreshingly low-frill. Slim and straight, rather than skin-tight, it's a pair of jeans that's comely and comfortable yet utilitarian. "We have them made here in the USA and they're sort of a reaction to all of the ridiculously overdone...
