Jean.Machine unveiled an exciting collaboration with Missoni during the men’s AW13 runway show last week in Milan. Jean.Machine’s signature styles were re-worked to feature iconic Missoni knit patterns (an amazing alternative to men’s colored denim for those who want to side-step obvious trends this year) on details such as pockets. Another favorite, the JM 4 jacket, was redesigned to include a detachable Missoni wool waistcoat on the inside. All styles will be available in early June from the Jean Machine website, Missoni stores worldwide, and other select retail locations.

It’s time to refill your wardrobe with new items from the Nudie Jeans Fall/Winter 2012 Injection: A Twist Of Black. It just launched on the webshop and select retailers in the US. There are three new organic denim fabrics available only at Nudie Jeans and used exclusively for this Injection collection. All three washes are experimental with the mixology of black and indigo. Washing, bleaching and tints have transformed the indigo denim into distinctive different shades, all sharing a signature streakiness. Denim shirts are made in 13,5 oz. rigid denim washed and bleached. Knitted sweaters with intertwined yarns and over-dyed, printed tees. The collection reflects its namesake – twisted, streaky and dark.
See the full collection below, and shop your favorites on the webshop.

We spend 8 hours per day looking at denim: the jeans Denim Therapy customers send to our office from every corner of the world in order to salvage them after years of loyal “favorite jeans” service. After so many run-ins with jeans from different brands and price points, you start to understand the meaning of true craftsmanship and high quality manufacturing. The trained denim-lover’s eye starts appreciating when garments are executed with integrity without sacrificing the details that set jeans apart.
It’s this kind of integrity that makes us love Public School and their newly launched men’s denim line. That their latest presentations at Milk Studios and at the James Hotel showcased polished and refined jeans. All of them are made in New York City. The collection brings together local textiles as well as Italian and Japanese raw denim in styles and cuts already are a signature of the city we live in. Our favorites were the PS 13 All natural white 10.5 Oz Cone jeans and the PS14 Indigo Selvedge, made from 100% white oak mill 13.75 oz denim. This is a brand that the CFDA already has on their radar, and we believe every New Yorker should start collecting wardrobe staples from their line up.
See more of the preview below, and don’t forget to check out Public School online.

Newly-single Robert Pattinson has been seen around town looking ruggedly handsome in his jeans, in between promoting his new film, “Cosmopolis.” His denim street style is quite paired down and comfortable looking, as compared to all the Gucci and Prada suits he wears to Red Carpet events and TV show appearances. We’re not complaining either way. We just like seeing more of Robert, am I right ladies? It sure looks like all that reported drama with Kristen Stewart hasn’t slowed down the Twilight Saga star, as he presses on towards more mature, meatier acting roles.
For some of Robert’s non-TV appearances, he skips the polished suits for something casual but still dressy, thanks to a suit blazer. Paired with a few closet staples, any man can look snappy without trying too hard.

If you follow Lookbook at all, then you’ll notice denim jackets are trending big time right now. Not that you could imagine yourself wearing a coat during summer, but you might want something breathable and versatile, such as a jeans jacket to round out your casual streetwear. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep a denim jacket around as your evening go-to summer outerwear. Well, because, you at least don’t want to look chilly. You’ll just look… chill. Check out some of our favorite denim jackets for men and women (we picked three each) that will be perfect, actually, for any time.

Recently, Denim Therapy covered the debut of Guerilla24, a selvage denim brand from Hong Kong. We decided to review the Sniper straight leg jean in raw selvage ($300) by Guerilla24, and Seattle photographer and style blogger John Bell was happy to help us out with this request. Since this was John’s first foray into the selvage denim territory, he knew it would be an exciting adventure in testing out a new fashion label.
They felt really solid and well put together. A tough pair of jeans. The stitching looks great, the indigo color was awesome and I liked the Guerilla24 leather patch label on the back pocket—nice touch.
Where/when would you wear these?
I would wear them out on a normal day with a t-shirt and some Sperry Top-siders; or, I would pair them with a button down and a blazer with some classy wingtip shoes.
How’s the fit?
The fit is great! The size 30 waist was just right and following down to the bottom, the pants have that smooth, tailored look on me, even though they are slightly looser on the thigh. Sitting down and bending over, the pants move with me so I’m not uncomfortable.
Go to Guerilla24 online to shop all the styles.
