I have quite a bit of denim in my closet, but still felt like I was missing that pair of everyday "go-to" jeans. My preference was rigid, selvedge jeans in a standard fit (no low-rise) with a price tag around $200. I tried a lot of options (Raleigh Denim, Tellason, Jean Shop, etc...). While these were all beautifully handcrafted jeans, none really worked for me. Just as I was losing hope, I dropped into UNIONMADE on Sanchez. Owner Todd Barket directed me to the Levis Vintage 1947 501s. As soon as I put them on I knew they were the ones - the perfect everyday jean. Gorgeous White Oak denim from Cone Mills, a neutral, old-school fit and beautiful contrast stitching. $220. I have pretty much lived in these bad boys ever since. If you're looking for jeans (or any everyday clothing for that matter), do yourself a favor and check out UNIONMADE.

ReplyDeleteI haven't but I know its quality denim. Lots of Nudie on sale at Barneys right now.
ReplyDeleteStephen, I hope you realize you look unbelievably good in those jeans! the shot of your behind in the Levi's, is that you? Nicest fitting jeans I've ever seen! can I find you on Facebook or twitter?
