Fuck Yeah Menswear


Requiem for a denim head.

This is not a cry for help.

I’m in control.

I know my limits.

Sitting in health class.

16 years old.

Beasting with 3,000 posts to my name.

Teachers tried to warn me.

Fuck you.

I don’t have a problem.

You MADD, son?

Mothers Against Denim Debate.

Bought my first 14oz off some shady sufu kid.

Gave it to me dirt cheap.

APC.

The gateway denim.

It was fun at first.

Just fucking around with my friends.

Seeing how crazy we could get our wallet fades without our rents finding out.

One night my mom found my stash when she was cleaning.

Some dope proxy ish.

She flipped the fuck out and washed them before I could stop her.

Six months and $200 gone just like that.

My friends lost interest.

To them it was just about cool stacks and fades to go with their tees and box snapbacks.

But I was hooked.

It took more and more to get that same feeling.

Started getting into some heavier shit.

16oz.

21oz.

32oz.

Getting so fucked up.

Getting so faded.

Jeans so stiff.

They were the only things keeping me on my feet.

Eyes bloodshot with selvage lines.

Shit got bad.

The night terrors.

Waking up in a cold sweat.

Sheets dyed with indigo.

One night my bros found me.

Curled up in the gutter.

Rubbing sandpaper all over myself.

Screaming.

Into the darkness.

MOMOTARO!

They saw the honeycombs on my legs.

Tried to talk to me about addiction.

But I don’t have a problem.

Fuck an intervention.

Stop calling my brothers and sisters.

I call my dick my pussy.

My crotch got so many whiskers.

Eternal BIG811XXX Contest Jeans

Update on my Eternal BIG811XXX Contest Jeans

My love for denim is undeniable. My latest contest is the Eternal BIG 811xxx which is being put on by Blue in Green SOHO. Blue in Green is the preeminent denim store in North America along with Self Edge which has its flagship store in San Francisco. I have only been wearing these, on a regular basis for about two months. They are 14.5 ounce Japanese selvage denim with Half Lined Back Pockets, and 6oz Indigo Dyed Front Pocket Bags. The fit on this pair was somewhat loose at the start, after a hot soak and a wash the fit is now spot on. Should be interesting to watch these develop.

Looking forward to this night. I'm going to be on the decks along special guest DJ Miss Samantha Brown. Should be a fun night.

How toTie a Tie

Gentleman, by now you should know how to tie a tie. If you don’t, this video is here to help… actually it probably won’t. On the bright side at least you get to watch two beautiful women take instructions from designer, Alexander Olch on how to tie a tie. The result? Beautiful humour. Very very beautiful.
