Amongst all seven jackets released, Mark McNairy is the only to bring us a raw jacket. It is very destructured as if two different jackets, a classic trucker and an old school Wrangler, were mixed together.

Our second mention goes for Oliver Spencer’s biker jacket. He is another designer we usually follow with interest, and this time again he left us up to expectations with an inovative navy asymetrical biker jacket.

Something would have to be said about any jacket from this collection, but I we had to pick a third one it would be this sherpa trucker jacket. On this classic style, Katie Eary, Royal College of Art graduate, proposes a very faded denim featuring a removeable fleece collar and a pink leopard lining.

Again, each jacket has its particularity, Topman wih its “Design” line, Shaun Samson and Lou Dalton complete the line up of this limited denim jacket series. No need to tell how quick stocks are going to sell out, so if you have any decision to make, make it quickly!

More info about the Denim Jacket Project on Topman’s dedicated page. To shop the collection, jackets are £70 at Topman.

It’s been monthes now that I’m roaming around those jeans. Let’s talk about the brand first. Rogue Territory is a Californian jeansmaker which creates quality denim pieces caring not only about materials but also about construction. We can highly consider them as a typical 20th century clothing company ran by passionate people about denim, workwear and fashion. Handcrafting skills always drive to one of-a-kind pieces, that’s their spearhead! Adding all this a great involvement into supporting authentic local artisans definitely allow us to call them a modern company.

Regarding those jeans, they’re slim/straight fitted. As we can expect from them, materials used for this “Stanton” model are the highest possible quality. The jeans are made of a 14 oz Sanforized Japanese Denim coming from the famous Nihon Menpu mills in Okayama, Japan. Just so you know, this magnifiscent piece is resulting a 4 to 6 weeks process. A unique cut for some top notch jeans, isn’t it what we are all looking for?

$210 from Need Supply Co.

PNLDR was launched in May 2010 as a member’s only flash sales online shop. It is owned by Karmaloop so their limited-time sales are often about premium streewear brands such as 10 Deep, Crooks & Castles, Black Scale, Obey… I even stumbled upon Naked & Famous there once! Today “Plunder”, as it should be pronounced, releases a nice lookbook for the launching of its own denim label called Spool and Thread.

To brass bloggers were invited to take part in this campaign, somehow our competitors (:D) from Vibe, GQ, One Man’s Style, FashionIndie and Canned Youth. Outfits featured in the lookbook are based on Spool and Thread denim pieces mixed with PLNDR’s regular deliveries. Photos are shooted in a very urban athmosphere where exceptionnal models are shooted just being themselves. This gives the series a very natural rendering. The key idea is to show that denim is the only clohting fabric which can bring different people together, and we agree!

This denim shirt could have taken place in my recent “lastest purchases” article. I was looking for a light denim shirt for cold summer nights, and I came across this one from Carhartt. What appealed me first is its vintage look, maybe a reason why they have called it “Antique”. The design is quite simple with square pockets, press studs and white contrasting stitchings. Carhartt label is sober and no one keeps you from removing it. Regarding the fabric, it is 5,5 oz which means a light denim. To tell you a personal story : I have already worn it during a walking 28°C afternoon with rolled up sleeves, and it was ok!

I’ve just found those very particular denim shorts at Garment Quarter. They come from the brand Unconditional which is a British designer hafway between casual wear and luxury. Multiple zipped pockets are giving the piece a nasty look. Cut-off legs reinforce this impression. The only thing we could dislike is a too loud tag from the back pocket, but no one can stop you from removing it. Those are just prefect for the summer… to be absotulely worn with a plain white t-shirt ;)

Nudie the Swedish jeansmaker has just published his SS11 lookbook. Looks are presented in a very urban area, with their spearhead fabric : denim. From raw to washed, from shirts to trousers, they’ve created such nice silhouettes this season. For my part, the nicest one is a total denim look (pic 21), albeit I don’t live v-necks. Shooted in a rock athmosphere, this lookbook worth a peep. What about you? Which picture do you prefer?

Today, I’d like to focus on a brand called Allevol. Even though it was founded in the UK (in 2005), the brand is highly marked with Japanese denim culture. As a witness, a page of their website is dedicated to the story of denim in Japan. Such a brand must make quality products. Proof with this pair of jeans. They’re “Super slim” fitted and made of a 13oz denim. Actually, they don’t look slim that much. Yet follow the advise of the shop sizing them up (albeit they’ll become larger as any raw denim).

Here is the Pretty Green version of a classic denim jacket. They’ve called it the ‘western’. The jacket features a dyed indigo color (which means it will never get unwashed), some contrasting stiching, a single flat pocket, and embossed buttons. I guess denim jackets are quite ideal for mid seasons, this one is an option.

Inspired from Kung-Fun and Tai-Chi, Bagua slippers could be considered as hybrid shoes : light and comfortable at the same time, ideal to hang out on your sofa like outside, and with a really particular design. Kind of a new concept for men. Till now, they were devoid of laces, but their recently thought about adding some. Here is the Krutno ambodying this evolution for SS11. We’d gladly go for this denim version, which we already imagine matched with a pair of bermudas.
