Taverniti Jeans From L.A

I can't tell you much about Taverniti Jeans other than they they come from LA, they look great and they don't come cheap. The pair above are the special edition Janis and are custom made and hand-embellished with antiqued nickel buttons and whipstitching along the waistband, pockets, and side seams.

Levi's Launches "The Carrot" Jeans

News from Australia that Levi's are to launch a brand new style of jeans to be known as "The Carrot". As the name suggests the jeans are baggy around the thighs and taper down to a narrow ankle. According to the press release they are "inspired by the Tokyo's underground subcultures and bring a fresh attitude to an otherwise tired and drab denim world". I don't know about you but these are pretty much the worst looking pair or jeans I have seen since Levi's Engineered Jeans - which apparently are also being re-released this year.

Nudie - My New Favourite Jeans

I have just bought my first pair of Nudie Jeans (Regular Ralf Dry Selvage) and I cannot recommend them highly enough. These are the best looking, fitting and feeling pair of jeans I have worn in years. They are made from 14.5oz denim and the style is straight bootcut that is slightly narrow at the knee. What I especially like about these jeans is the way in which you age them. You buy them untreated and then wear them for six months without washing them, in that time they mould themselves to you like a second skin. When you wash them they loose their colour in the stress points leaving them with a fade that is completely unique to you. There is even a forum dedicated to the best ways to care for and age your jeans. The people behind Nudie are obviously true denim lovers who understand the importance of a great pair of jeans.

Siwy Denim by Michelle Siwy

Siwy Denim, a new line of jeans designed by Michelle Siwy has created a product that supremely flatters the female figure. Her bootcut, for instance, draws in at the bottom instead of flaring out farther, creating a silhouette that balances a woman’s hips. Her jeans lift butts and lengthen legs but also feature user-friendly details such as a hem that’s shorter in back so it doesn’t drag on the ground – refreshing in a world of jeans cut so long they drag even with 4-inch heels.
