Tailored White 501s
*All pics taken by my man Michael*
Last week I posted about having my white 501s tailored. Now that they are done, I figured I would do a post so you can see them in their full glory. On the men’s style blogsphere, tailored white 501s are synonymous with Sid Mashburn. Unfortunately, I don’t live in ATL, so I had to go another route. I snagged these off of Zappos (FYI: Zappos stays with white and a host of other colored 501s in tons of sizes for $40 year round) and took them to a new seamstress around the corner from my apartment. I wanted to give this seamstress a run because the one I was going to is about 15 miles from my place… and the new one is two blocks. I also figured if she f—ked my jeans up, they were cheap enough to replace. She did an amazing job. I dropped them off Wednesday and picked them up Friday. I spent $40 on the jeans and $20 on the alterations. I made sure they had no break what so ever as I plan on wearing them either sockless or with colorful ass socks. I figured I would do what I felt was a good fall/post Labor day fit. I could have gone with a blazer but I wanted a more casual look, so I went with my dark rinse Gap denim jacket. Kept the rest simple with a Rugby Club Collar Oxford, Club Room knite tie, Perry Ellis woven belt, and CK bucks. The watch is Timex, strap J. Crew, and the bracelets are my own creations. I figure I will probably bust a fit similar to this out for homecoming in early October. More pics after the jump.
Making white denim cool as hell. Respect.
One of my ways I wear Patchwork Jacket.

I will be breaking out my patchwork jacket soon. One of my favorite summer patterns.
That is one sweet-ass jacket.

Casual walk around town
If you are a guy looking for new denim to wear this summer… you should consider those Raleighs. Super lightweight and just plain awesome.
Fantastic combo.

Nailed it. A more exotic shirt color and I’d be adding #dandy to the tags.
I am now fascinated by the idea of patched chinos. Blame Ralph Lauren, I guess, but seriously, I think this kind of thing can be cool if done well.

Simple, powerful, and elegant. That cutaway collar is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Always inspirational.
What you call a dated look, I call inspiration.

Interesting pattern combinations. Checks and pinstripes, huh?
…why is the dude wearing two scarves? nonchalant my ass, lol. The minute you see a dude doubling up on sweaters, jackets, shirts, etc., you know he tried.

Burgundy and grey plaid are a winning combination.

This look was inspired by the preppy and street style . I enjoy both styles and wanted to bring them together into one outfit. I really liked the contrast between the denim vest and denim jeans. Speaking of jeans it was nice to find a tapered pair that fits me good. I also really liked how the red bow-tie popped against the army fatigue jacket. Plus, it was a rainy day and when it rains you can’t go wrong wearing a pair of Bean Boots.
I will never cease to be impressed with the looks Isaiah pulls off. Of course, he’s been doing denim and camo jackets for a while, but he’s really made it his own. I can’t really explain it, but he’s gotten really comfortable with building outfits featuring them and the results are nothing less than impressive. I can’t help but be a little jealous of the confidence with which this guy wears denim. I’ll get there some day, I guess.
Now, as a personal recommendation, Isaiah, those taslan laces won’t last long. I grabbed a pair of cheap rawhide laces, trimmed them to an appropriate length, and they seem to be working just fine. I’m also looking into red paracord that I’ll cut and then burn the ends of to seal.
