Lately been on a japanese blue jean binge. Love their craftsmanship, obsessive attention to texture, color and fading, etc. Unlike most denim heads, I do wash them after a couple of uses. The well loomed fabrics give a cleaner look when properly fitted. I don't cuff them because that's an insufferable hipster habit. Most jeans have simple clean lines, no "worn in" affectations. The detailing is in the fabrics used, the varied dyeing methods used in the warp and weft, and construction methods.
Favorite brands are Tanuki, Pure blue Japan, Momotaro.
After experimenting some, found that I really like the look of a nice crisp white shirt with them. Great to hang around in, yet presentable in a wide variety of settings.
With a blazer and loafers perfect for weekend road trips with the wife. Add a bowtie tucked away in the coat pocket and I'm ready for almost any restaurant.
Really have enjoyed it- easy, neat, relaxed. Not shabby, not fussy, just right for summer.
