Jumping for Joy

I really just needed an excuse to post this picture. Artist Christopher Martino has designed the latest slew of JR t-shirts, and if you take a look at his work, you'll see that he's ridiculously amazing. Noel likes it a lot, as you can tell.

5EP. 5EP. 5EP!!!....

That's right kids...5EP, the company that believes in the concept that "there are five easy pieces in every person’s wardrobe: a chino, a jacket, a tee shirt, a woven shirt and of course a pair of jeans!", has now taken a piece of the glorious denim wall in our Bethesda locale. These jeans were brought to you by the a wonderful collaboration between the wonderful Denimmafia crew and Styleforum.net. If you like them tight and a little tapered, you'll love these! Made of the best Japanese denim you can find, these limited, limited, limited (and when i say limited i mean limited as in 200 pairs in the world ever!) edition jeans will go great next to your Andy Warhol Factory X Levi's or your hard-to-find Kicking Mule Workshop AWA jeans. If you want to pick up a pair of these little babies, just give a call to our Bethesda store or check out styleforum.net to find out where else you can get them. Here's the scoop on the measurements:

a 32" waist laying flat:
Waist: 15.5" (so go true to waist)
Front Rise: 10"
Back Rise: 14.5"
Thigh: 12"
Knee: 8.5"
Hem: 7.5"
Inseam: 33"

COLOR ME EXCITED

Don't give up on colored denim just yet, folks. The trend has not, in fact, passed, as every denim company under the sun is attempting their best impression of a Crayola box for the fall season. Check out Paula, who is so freaking jazzed about colored denim she can hardly contain herself!
