Is it just us, or did Affliction miss the mark on their denim line? We LOVE buying Affliction T-shirts for our guy, but somehow their denim line is a little too ghetto-fabulous for us. Thoughts? If you do actually like them, they are available at eModa.
We prefer our guys in a pair of Seven’s or True Religion’s, the pic below makes us drool a little. Nothing makes a guy hotter than some artistic tattoos and designer denim. Yummy!

Earnest Sewn Making Waves in the World of Denim
Arguably the best American denim line produced today, Earnest Sewn was launched by Scott Morrison (former co-founder and designer of Paper, Denim & Cloth), who today serves as the Founder, Creative Director and Head Designer. Morrison founded Earnest Sewn in response to the assembly line production dominating the denim market at that time. Morrison and his team revolutionized the world of denim by adopting the philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, the Japanese design principle that translates as the ‘product sewn in earnest.’ Adherence to the Wabi-Sabi philosophy ensures that every pair of Earnest Sewn jeans is a unique—a priceless commodity and a “limited edition”. In fact Morrison literally signs off on each and every jean produced by Earnest Sewn (but you might need to search for it).
In fact we heard that fashionistas are scouring the globe for Earnest Sewn. It’s no wonder that these are the “go to jean” for Heidi Klum, Courtney Cox, Mischa Barton and, now through Gilt Groupe, YOU!
Which ones do you love and which ones do you hate? All of these are available at eModa.com. From the top, Rock & Republics with Neon Pink Pockets, Taverniti with Pink Crystals, DVB Flap Pockets (our faves), James Jeans with White Diamonds, True Religion with Aqua Stitching. We noticed that True Religion has come out with quite a few new and interesting styles for the coming year - time to stock up!
We found this article on MensFlair.com very interesting about raw denim (aka dry denim) and thought we’d pass it on. Have you tried Raw denim yet? It is supposedly better for the environment due to the lack of processing the jeans go through at the manufacturer because there is less waste product made.
One of the biggest trends in jeans at the moment is raw denim, referring to jeans that have not ever been treated or washed with chemicals. While at first they are stiff and almost feel like a corset for your legs, they will over time both expand and conform to your body, becoming unique to your shape.
One of the most important things when buying a pair is that they fit like a glove (a very tight one) from the onset. When you try them on, they should be so tight that it is at first difficult to pull them up. I recently bought a pair of A.P.C raw denim jeans and thought I was going to have a stress-induced stroke just trying to close the top button. The reason for this is that in just a few months, the jeans will expand and gain at very least, an inch in the waist.
