This found a kindred spirit in denim. It’s a fit of a modern fashion jean with the character and attitude of a well-worn classic blue jean. Made for those who live the honor, tradition, and everything true wrapped up in the word ‘cowboy’.

Vintage Washed

Don’t let this lost art gone. Today’s average male has no clue about the fine art of the wash that their grandfathers and some of their parents used to take part in. From James Dean in the classic film Rebel Without a Cause to the Greasers in S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders. This wash is classic and suit your noble manliness strut. A gentleman would walk into a store for this.

Destroyed Jeans

Jeans, of course, used to be the badge of the rebel; the man who broke from the traditional dress of society and rejected the old way of doing things. Everytime you want to have a rule-breaker day, grab the destroyed washed one. You know it. You’ll feel like a bad ass.

One washed not only gives the appearance of broken-in denim, yet create a more refined look. It shows you love things to be simple and might as well be a down-to-earth person.

A new adventure kicked off in the denim industry last month with the launch of the new cool denim shop in Italian town. It’s none other but the first flagship store for the historic ‘Roy Rogers.’

Having been resurrected from its original inception in the 50s, the brand was born when a first manufacturing company to make blue jeans in Italy called 7 Bell started collaboration with Cone Mills Corporation and gave birth to the iconic triangular label ready to storm the denim town. You think you are the real denimer? Eat your heart out!

After delivered yet another refreshing assortment for the latest season, classic jeans, jerseys, knits, and wovens were updated with folkloric casual pattern and mid-century-inspired look. The brand did gain recognition and now ready for its first flagship in Florence. So go take a look if you’re there for the Pitti show in January. Be quick on a trigger.

PEdALED inspired by cycling wear

We know it right away here the care for nature and fashion world collided in the best looking way possible as we met the brand coming to the stream. Look no further, we are talking about the “PEdALED”

Start by a former fashion designer for famous label, Hideto Suzuki. We found the story of how it started inspiring. Years ago, disillutioned by the predominantly shallow commercial agenda, he gave up his role as designer for a well-known brand to look for something more sustainable. He then traveled and, as luck would have it, met builders of log houses that were leading his life so close to nature. He was impressed and inspired that he spent his life in the woods. There, he found a new sense of balance and a new vision.That was the time the PEdALED was born.

Manufactured in Japan and Italy, his collection is mixed up to seamlessly connect varying cycling styles and needs. Some key style features natural fabrics such as hemp, linen, and organic cotton form the basis of PEdALED clothing, even sometimes reusing old clothes and pre-used textiles. Synthetic materials are kept to an absolute minimum. Visit his website to browse more. There you’ll find a new world of fashion where our mother nature is highly respected.
