Stuff I Like: Nudie Dry Organic Prima Selvage Jeans

If you're not prepared to settle for an ordinary pair of jeans (and why should you?), then may I suggest opting for some new selvage denim from Nudie?

 

 Launching in early May, the brand's new limited edition jeans are made from premium organic Pima cotton, crafted in New Mexico and cut and sewn by the world's best denim producers in Italy.

 

If that alone isn't enough to impress, each pair is numbered 1-480, making them irresistibly individual! Nudie, Available May.

A Closer Look: Levi's® Commuter Series

Designed for the demands of the modern day cyclist, the much anticipated Levi's® Commuter Series has arrived just in time for spring/summer 2012. The jean itself offers a stylish yet functional pair of trousers, allowing you to ride, live, and work in one pair of Levi's.

Above, is the popular 551 slim fit jean in blue - featuring fabric and construction upgrades allowing additional stretch and increased mobility, reinforced back double layered pockets, a raised yoke to minimise back exposure and a U-lock holder for enhanced comfort.

Not forgetting your safety, the jeans also come with reflective tape on the interior cuff - for increased visibility and safety in low light. Available at Levi.com.

Monkee Genes

 Expect to see classic chino's, drop pocket denim and super skinny jeans for SS12.

Born in 2006 out of frustration and boredom with the jeans market, Monkee Genes offers a fresh, vibrant and youthful direction in contemporary fashion.

With innovative fits and style lines in top of the range fabrics, you'll find it hard coming across denim any better.

In a world of cheap and disposable fashion manufacturers without soul or identity, Monkee Genes offers an antithesis.

Stocked in stores scattered around the globe, you don't have to go far to get the very best you deserve. And for SS12 the brand is at the very top of its game.

Adding some bang on trend new signature styles and colours to its ever-growing range, Monkee Genes should be the choice of the 'modern man' next summer.
