[Worn] 3sixteen Indigo Nep Ranch Jacket - Nine Month Review December 8, 2017 BLOG

For our first Worn, we wanted to review the 3sixteen Indigo Nep Ranch Jacket after nine months of wear, and highlight the fades and extra nep. We love the fact that although it is a lighter jacket, it can be worn all-season. I wore it numerous times throughout this past summer, mostly in the evenings when temperatures slightly drop. It’s not that you actually need a light jacket because it’s that cold outside, but rather you just want something to put an accent on your evening attire.

Shockoe Atelier Interview - Redefining Modern Luxury October 20, 2017 BLOG

Shockoe Atelier takes an exceptional approach towards redefining modern luxury garments. Through a blend of distinctively American aesthetics, European handcrafted spirits, and exquisite fabrics, Shockoe has carved out their own identity in the denim world. Established in 2012, Shockoe has gone through a few iterations over the last several years, from starting out with a full line of menswear, to scaling back to just denim, and now carefully re-expanding. We are excited to have them on board as part of our initial offerings as they continue to refine their identity.

3sixteen Interview - Part 1: Good Design and Garments That Age August 23, 2017 BLOG

3sixteen is first and foremost a denim company. While they have been around for nearly 15 years, they really began to focus on their core business of denim in 2010. 3sixteen sources Japanese fabrics woven specifically for them, and ultimately cut and sew the fabrics into actual jeans in San Francisco, CA. 3sixteen has since re-expanded their offerings to include tees, shirting, jackets, and much more. We love denim, and so naturally we are excited to have them be a part of our initial offering.

The Beginning July 21, 2017 BLOG

I started my Instagram account focused on raw denim and boots in February 2016. Little did I know that almost one year later I would be full swing into starting a business that spawned from my Instagram account. I always dreamed of being an entrepreneur / small business owner, except I thought I’d be running a restaurant or a coffee shop, rather than a menswear store. While the culinary side of things are certainly on …
