Denim, Upgraded.

Oct 7th, 2008 | Categories: Denim, Men's wear | by Michael Williams

Not too long ago, the fine gentlemen at Men.Style.com asked me if I was interested in writing the update for the Denim Hotlist. Seeing how jeans are one of my favorite topics, I quickly agreed. It was exciting to head up to Men.Style.com HQ to inspect racks of denim. It was also cool to see that some of my favorite brands (RRL, Jean Shop) made the new list. The complete, chain stitched, raw, indigo-soaked feature can be seen here.

Many thanks to the good people at Men.Style.com for the opportunity.

    Ksubi, Acne and Nudie are the best jeans around right now. Cheap Mondays should be on there too.

    Nice work. The denim surge benefits us all…even those who can’t get skinnies over their thighs.

    Interesting list. My two favorite jeans are Nom de Guerre and Kicking Mule Workshop 1950. Both are classic fit, straight leg jeans

    I don’t like anything APC makes i think their stuff is made poorly and lacks any structure. not sure that brand even stays in biz.
