Ande Whall Custom Made Selvage Denim
Ande Whall is not necessarily the most well known denim around, however, these handmade denim goods are definitely surviving the recession with a well due cult following. Dubbed the "World's Finest Selvage Denim", Whall-lover's are flocking to the original Flying Pocket Design, low-ball prices, and top quality stitching from all over the world.
Ande Whall himself is an independent denim designer from the South Island of New Zealand. His one man-custom design workshop holds home to the entire denim process: design, pattern drafting, garment construction, branding artwork, the Ande Whall website design, photography, the sourcing of raw materials, and of course, sales.
I will warn you up front though that if you are looking for fancy and bling--these are not for you! In other words, you sure won't find Whall with a runway show at Bryant Park. Yet, for those of you who desire some of the best selvage denim, quality stitching, custom designed tags and thick indigo coloring around, these are absolutely for you.
Contact ande@andewhall.com or visit the official website at www.andewhall.com for more information. You never know, we may have another Nudie Revolution on our hands here. Have any of you worn Whalls? Let us know.

Samurai Introduces The Heaviest Denim Ever
Weighing in at a suit-of-armor-like 24 ounces, Samurai breaks its previous records of 21 oz. and 19 oz., making these jeans the heaviest ever produced. Many of Samurai's 21 oz fans claim that their jeans, while heavy, are relatively comfortable to wear even in the dead of summer and look forward to the challenge of an extra 3 oz.
Of course, making such specialized denim is no easy feat. Production of the denim and sewing it together is such a slow and labor-intensive process that only 20 pairs can be made per day. Blue In Green expects to take delivery starting July giving Samurai die-hards the perfect chance to put their love of denim to the test.
