Chambers Spring 2012: Denim Jackets & Streetwear For The Average Joe

Remember last week, when we posted about Los Angeles-based men’s streetwear label Chambers, featuring battered and bruised models, complete with busted lips and intimidating glares? Their next lookbook, for Spring-Summer 2012 continues to feature the Downtown man (sans bruises), who looks like he could care less about what you think; but, he still cares about tailoring and what goes on his body. We’re loving how every shirt and jacket really goes well with jeans, but we especially like the low-profile touches from contrast plaid-solid reversible woven shirts to tailoring touches such as shorter shirt hems and semi-hidden button columns. If you’re an Average Joe who wants to clean up nice without looking like you’ve stepped out of a mall, then put Chambers on your hit list.

Behind The Scenes of Buffalo By David Bitton’s Holiday Line At PROJECT NY

While we have seen a lot of up and coming denim these past two days at PROJECT NY, we can’t forget about our long time favorite brands, especially Buffalo by David Bitton. Their clothing has a European feel that is easily relatable to the American customer, which is always a nice combo. We were lucky enough to talk to Robert Castaldo who is the brand’s sales rep for the entire East Coast, and he let us in on what’s new for their 2011 Holiday collection. Their premium price denim will be out in a variety of washes and fits so you won’t be running out of gift options any time soon. The great thing about Buffalo is that besides denim, they offer a full collection of knits, woven shirts, and outerwear for men and women. We’ll be seeing these in an array of dusty colors and soft fabrics that will ensure maximum comfort and style in the upcoming colder months.
