UES is a new brand for Withered Fig that we brought in Fall 2020. Their Heavy and Extra Heavyweight Flannels get a lot of attention for their heft and solid value, but their 400 lot denim is what originally attracted us to this brand. Most pairs of denim you will find on their Instagram showcase this 400 lot denim, which we carry in the 400T and 400S cuts, and reveal how beautiful they look after …
Railcar Fine Goods has really expanded their business in the last couple years from their core of denim to introducing shirting, apothecary, and to opening up their retail and barber shop. Railcar is unique in that all their clothing is made in-house from the initial cut of the fabric, to the sewing, to the final assembly for packing and shipping; and it’s all done out of their 5,000 square feet building in Monrovia, CA. When you start talking with Steven, the owner of Railcar, the immediate thing you’ll sense is his sincere enthusiasm for the work that he does in making quality clothing.
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 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.
In Part 1, we chatted with Andrew Chen, co-owner, and Wesley Scott, designer for 3sixteen, about their clothing designs, influences, and future. In this Part 2, we hear from Johan Lam [J] and Spencer Ramirez [S] of their Los Angeles operations to chat about the addition of their retail store just about one year ago (Fall 2016), and touch a little bit more on the personal side of things. Also pictured below are Joe Chin and Roland Torres of their L.A. operations.
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.
