Factotum AW 2011: Denim Inspired by Cafe Time

Admit it. Men in jeans who wear an apron are hot. Japanese denim brand Factotum seems to think so, too, and it’s highlighted in their Autumn-Winter 2011 lookbook. Inspired by “Caf? Time,” you get more than a hint of the often beguiling allure of the caf? busboy, or the handsome stranger who might be seated alone nearby. Is he a regular, or is he just passing through? Well, at least he makes an impression.

Sometimes, that handsome stranger is a rocker. Sometimes, he’s this preppy guy. But is he ever the dude bold enough to make a statement in polka dot jeans, as proposed by Factotum Denim? Are you that man? Layer in a Japanese robe; make sure your shirt or overcoat collars are a bit sloppy looking, and you’ll be rockin’ Japanese street fashion.
