Cool Hunting
Making a departure from their slim raw denim (with the label that famously advises against washing except in the ocean), A.P.C is expanding their line by releasing a distressed variety named the Butler Worn Out Series.
Unlike the whiskered and bedazzled versions of other brands, the Butler stays true to its clever name. Rather than using sandpaper or washing techniques, a real human being wears each pair to create genuine and one-of-a-kind stress marks that just can't be recreated by some automated process. The jeans even feature the initials of the "butler" who wore them in written on the inside.
It's the ultimate solution for those who don't have the time or patience for that perfectly worn look. We like the fact that every pair is a one-off. No word on price but A.P.C denim is usually fairly reasonable. Keep a look out for the new Butler Worn Out Series at A.P.C this upcoming season.

At only 600 square feet, the space feels...
An exclusive first look, Context drops another collabo today, this time with Kicking Mule Workshop for an ultra limited-edition pair of denim pants.

To make the dye, harvests of the indigo leaves from the Okayama Prefecture in Japan...

A standout from their upcoming Fall/Winter 2009 line is their Japanese selvedge stretch denim pant and jacket. It's the first we've heard of stretch selvedge denim. There are only two factories in the world that can produce this type...
Although it's snowing today, the first day of Spring, in NYC, while looking for a versatile pair of shorts I found these Swiss-made Acronym Etaproof Tec Sys Shorts which might be all I need for the coming summer months. Acronym's consistent high attention to detail (technical and otherwise) is what made us fans in the first place and this short is no different. Although...
Levi's recently released a limited-edition series of four pairs of jeans featuring vibrantly colored graphics. Geometric prints in red, blue, orange and yellow line the inside of each of the four jeans included in the collectible series. Inspired by 1980s video game graphics, the arcuate thread stitching on rear pockets and a button on the fly both smartly coordinate with the respective colorway. The...
