The Pantalones
May 31, 2013

I discover new brands that pique my interest quite frequently, but it isn’t often that I find a brand that has me completely sold before I ever even see the clothing in person. RPMWEST is one of those rare companies. 

RPMWEST makes a very simple product in a very simple manner; the jeans that RPMWEST produces are made with high quality Japanese selvedge denim, constructed in America. There aren’t any bells and whistles; there are no gimmicks. It’s quality denim, made in America, and it only costs $95. That’s what sold me.

It’s apparent that the jeans are of a high quality, but the pricing and delivery method is what really makes them stand out. Once RPMWEST launches from their Kickstarter in a few weeks, they will send three pairs of denim to whomever pre-ordered a pair of jeans. You try the three pairs on, and you keep whichever one you like the best. RPMWEST has two cuts (slim straight and new classic), and you get to try on three sizes of whichever cut you choose. When you decide which fits the best, you send the other two back free of charge. You get the wholesale price of $95, and you make sure that you get the right fit. 

I’ve never heard of any online business plan that allows you to try jeans, a garment that I always have trouble finding in a suitable fit, in such a flexible situation. RPMWEST’s model seems to alleviate that problem quite a bit for guys like me. As of right now, it’s all pros and no cons for RPMWEST on my list. I’ll be awaiting my pairs to try on in the coming weeks. If you want to do the same, you can pre-order on their Kickstarter.

I never really understood the appeal of, or even how to wear, a madras blazer, but I think this guy basically just explained both. Even though the madras blazer is certainly the most colorful piece here, the heavy contrast of a stark white shirt and rich navy pants leave the blazer as an almost secondary element.

A modern take on the conservative classics of Wall Street from the guys over at Proper Cloth. This ready to wear collection looks fantastic, and it is a nice addition to the made to measure options regularly offered at Proper Cloth.

Just bought my very meager summer clothing supply, but it also creates the ultimate summer kit/my weekend summer uniform:

  • Navy Spread Collar Washed Cotton Polo - Uniqlo x Michael Bastian
  • Lightweight Cotton Crocodile Chinos - Club Monaco
  • Tortoise Acetate Sunglasses - American Deadstock
  • Navy Espadrilles (darker IRL) - Soludos

You can grab all of this stuff for under $150.

Takes on classic navy blazer/white shirt wedding attire from the guys at Macaroni Tomato.  These are all extremely solid looks that utilize a very small part of the color spectrum, while remaining visually interesting.
