Shopping From Epaulet NY

Mike Kuhle from Epaulet is a very visionary man. Calling his shop just a shop might actually be an insult, as it is turning into more of brand with all the private label or collaborative stuff, that Epaulet is putting out. But now that I think of it, Mike is actually doing things the old school way. He listens to his customers and provides the best possible products within a price range, that doesn't exclude that many. He uses his platform to get exclusive make-ups and special editions. Something that other shops could really learn from. I often return to this shop for inspiration, and if it was more accessible in the EU, I'm sure, I would be buying from Epaulet a lot.

The key words are quality, modern fit, updated classics and exclusive make-ups. 

Today I was just browsing - and thinking about placing a huge order - but instead I decided to put together  an outfit and just stick to dreaming about buying new stuff.

One Month of Denim - Day 3


If you think all denim is made in Thailand or Tunisia nowadays, you are right. But then again you couldn't be more wrong. There are still a lot of jeans being cut and sewn in Japan and there are still some being sewn in the homeland of blue jeans, the United States of America.

Today, I made a small list of companies still making jeans in the US. There are most likely still some interesting brands, that I have forgot to put on the list. If there are any, you can think off, then please tell me, and I'll add them to the list.

Today I won't be giving my two cent on which of these brands I prefer. I'll just allow you to form an opinion based on this selection of "Made in USA" jeans. And I haven't included Levi's (or LVC) in this selection because it is so very little of their huge production, that is made in the US.















OK, I couldn't help myself. These jeans are my favourites.
