1. Denim shoes don’t have to give you the blues… this grey & red pair from Vans stray a bit from the indigo routine.
2. Dimitris Zoz Denim‘s new website has launched! We featured their studded, colored denim shorts recently as a fun option for spring.
3. Images are out for Velour spring 2012 menswear, and we’re loving the clean, classic style.
4. Guys, need a warm denim workshirt this winter? Want something other than the standard denim jacket/shearling combo? Check out the Iron Heart Blanket Lined 8oz Denim Overshirt. The inside is cotton flannel, the outside is raw.
5. The Denim Guy runs into some controversy from friends & family when he cuffs his jeans. We say go for it, Johnny! But not in the NYC winter.

By now you know we love an item that’s fashionably unconventional, and while patchwork denim may be happening right now, it’s not often you see a dude walking down the street in a chambray version of the blanket he used as a baby. Thanks to the muted tones and fitted silhouette of this Band Of Outsiders patchwork denim shirt, however, what might be kitschy becomes totally chic.

Want one? It’s yours for $265 at Aloha Rag.
