Denham Set to Be the Next Big Name in Mens Designer Clothing

We’ve been privileged enough to see some great new brand names in emerging in the world of men’s designer jeans over the last few years. Names like Nudie and Edwins have really stepped up to the plate with their innovative jeans designs and the use of cutting edge materials such as Japanese denim. Nudie and Edwins jeans have built their names in the world of fashion by creating ranges of men’s jeans that have brought quality and style to the market that have rivalled even long established brand names like Levis when it comes to jean making. Whether you are a fan of the unwashed raw denim designs or prefer the more distressed “5 year worn” look jean models, there is little doubt that the last few years have heralded a new era in men’s casual fashion wear as jean designers across the globe look to take what is an age old men’s clothing product into a brand new era.

However, this year has seen a new name emerge as a major contender as one of the world top jeans designer: Denham. Formed only last year in 2009, this great new brand name’s key philosophy is all about innovation and experimenting with denim and other materials, seeking to make the best men’s designer jeans that stand out from the crowd. The brands distinctive scissor logo is easily recognisable under close examination but used in cute detail on their products – unlike some labels that emblazon their name on their clothing in rather unsubtle and unnecessary levels. Look out for Denham jeans as a major new name in the world of men’s designer clothing over the next few months.

Buy Brilliant Mens Designer Jeans from Edwins

In the world of men’s fashion in 2010 for me there are 2 major labels that have stood out when it comes to men’s designer jeans. In the recent past you may have noticed that I have already sang the praises of nudie jeans here on my men’s designer clothing blog - as my love for their fantastic quality materials, fit and highly comfortable denim lines is certainly not to be understated. I would also highly recommend however the Edwins range of designer jeans for men. These fantastic jeans are made from high quality Japanese denim which has been integral to many designer brands’ fantastic fashion lines in 2010.

Edwins jeans as you would expect feature an excellent range of washes, finishes, fits and styles that give a great variety of products suitable to be worked into any modern or even retro look. Whether you go for my personal favourites the “Hidetora wash” jeans- which feature the textured 3d wear lines on the high quality raw and unwashed denim, or perhaps you prefer the more distressed “Jiro Wash” - which shows off innovative abrasions to the garment and features a mid wash finish. Whatever your personal preference in fit and finish in your jeans you will surely be delighted at the quite stunning range of men’s designer clothing that Edwins have produced this year.

top 10 :best men's jeans

1.EXPRESS

Express jeans are so nicely tailored. And they’re the first jean types that I have friends try-on when they are changing their style from baggy to more tailored and fitted.

2. 7 for all mankind

These were my first real “designer” jeans. 7 jeans
are super soft, top quality, and can last you a lifetime. These are everyday jeans for stars, especially when they’re in movies.

3. LRG jeans

LRG jeans are actually some of my favorite! They have so many styles and colors- they offer looks that no one else does.

4. True Religion

You’ll also catch the rich and famous rockin’ these on a daily basis- you can tell by the “upside down horseshoe” stitching on the back pockets. They’re comfortable and have an overall good fit.

5. Evisu

Japanese jeans are on top these days, and Evisu is one of the top brands stealing everyone’s thunder. They’re a happy medium between extra baggy and extra fitted.

6. Gap

Gap jeans are also an “every guy” type of jean, probably more so than Lucky. Gap offers a plethora of sizes and style for men of all shapes and sizes.

7. Levi’s

When in doubt- Buy Levis. Levi’s are the classic jeans, and they ALWAYS look good. The brand develops with time so they work hard to keep the latest styles in stock.
(Levi’s skinny jeans shown above- most guys shouldn’t wear these though)

8. Rock & Republic

Once again, these are jeans worn by the rich and famous. I really like the way these jeans fit on most guys. . . they make men look trim and not that it’s important to guys, but they also make your ass look great.

9. Tommy Bahama

Some of you may be thinking, WTF! Tommy Bahama?? Yeah, thats right Tommy Bahama. This pick is specifically for the older gentleman- I would say 35 and above (hopefully that doesn’t offend anyone). Tommy Bahama offers a great variety of styles and washes that are very comfortable, they’re especially good for older gent who are unsure of what type of jean to wear.

10. Lucky

Diesel Jeans

Mavi Jeans

Levi's pours less water into green jeans

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – When Levi's washes its jeans, it's not to get them clean. It's to make them soft.

So who needs water?

The manufacturer began offering a denim collection last week that reduces the amount of water used in the finishing by an average of 11 gallons per pair. The company claims a total of 4 million gallons saved for its spring collection now in stores.

The denim is still "washed" with stones, but the water has been removed from the process, and the number of wet-washing cycles has been cut by combining steps.

The early reaction to the Waterless jeans, according to Erik Joule, senior vice president of merchandising and design, is, "What's the difference?"

That's exactly the point.

"I think anything that blends fashion without an altered look [and] with sustainability and social responsibility, it's a winner, but sometimes there's a tension between the sides."

Parent company Levi Strauss & Co. is using this launch as a starting point for a conversation with its consumers, manufacturers, retailers and even its competitors about doing business in a more eco-friendly way, Joule says. The hangtag that goes home with the jeans also encourages less washing at home, use of cold water and line drying.

A real greening of the industry – without the aesthetic change – could get people excited about buying new jeans, he adds.

There's an emphasis on Levi's men's product for now, partially because men tend to like a more rigid, dry hand on their denim than women – and that texture was easier to master with the drier process.

But development is under way for lighter, softer finishes, and the technology is being passed on to the Docker's brand to start work on khakis.

The Waterless project has already changed the culture in the company's headquarters in San Francisco, which has switched to low-flow faucets, for example. Personally, Joule says he keeps track of his own water use at home: no more running water when he's brushing his teeth.

Real Jeans - Real Protection - Stylish Motorcycle Jeans

Paris, France (ESA) Dec 28, 2010
A French company has found business success by blending high-tech fibres used in an ESA space mission with old-fashioned denim to create comfortable, stylish protective gear for bikers.

Like 75% of European motorcycle riders, Pierre-Henry Servajean was wearing regular jeans when he took a bad spill on his bike in 1995:

"I realised everything I had on my body was perfect - my helmet, gloves, jacket - except the jeans. I had suitable things for every part of my body, except my legs."

The realisation triggered a decade-long quest to find a fabric that combines the comfort and breathability of denim with the strength and abrasion resistance of protective gear like motorcycle leathers.

It ultimately led him to the founding of ESquad, a fashion label devoted to ultra-durable motorcycle jeans.

Pierre-Henry knew there were many fabrics that might fit part of the bill. Kevlar, for example, is legendarily tough.

But Kevlar has some major flaws when it comes to apparel. It doesn't 'breathe', in the woven form it is uncomfortable to wear and starts to disintegrate when it's exposed to the ultraviolet in sunlight.

To find a fibre that could beat Kevlar, Pierre-Henry had to go further afield. After extensive research, he lit upon a fibre known as 'ultra high molecular weight polyethylene' (UHMWPE).

It is a form of polyethylene, the world's most common plastic, but the fibres are twice as strong as Kevlar, and 10-100 times stronger than steel.

Held ESA satellite on 30 km tether UHMWPE is so strong yet so lightweight that in 2007 it was used to produce a very special line for the YES2 tether experiment that piggybacked on ESA's Foton-M3 microgravity mission.

Only half a millimetre thick, a 30 km-long line of UHMWPE fibres dangled a small reentry capsule in orbit, demonstrating that 'space mail' can be sent using a relatively simple and cheap mechanism.

By taking the same fibres and wrapping them in cotton, Pierre-Henry managed to create a fabric
that combines the qualities of jeans with the toughness and strength of UHMWPE: "In the core of the yarn, instead of cotton you have high-performance fibre.

Working with ESA's technology transfer broker in France, Nodal, Pierre-Henry's Armalith fabric is being highlighted by ESA as part of its Technology Transfer Programme to find use in other non-space sectors.

The fabric is a perfect combination of abrasion resistance, strength and comfort.

Tested to European standards, it measures up to motorcycle leather in terms of crash protection.

To demonstrate the fabric's strength, Pierre-Henry orchestrated a unique publicity stunt: he suspended a 2700 kg Hummer from a pair of the jeans.

The motorcycle community has gotten the message already: ESquad jeans are sold in motorcycle shops all over Europe, and have earned rave reviews from motorcycle magazines in France and Germany.
