Maison Kitsuné Japanese Denim

Denim has always been one of those items that I have difficulty shopping for, whether it is the perfect fit or perfect style. That being said, having an array of denim options is important for me, and when I find a good pair I usually snatch them up. 

French label Maison Kitsuné has a line of premium denim made from high quality Japanese denim. Japanese denim is often regarded as the best in the industry and a favorite among jean connoisseurs. The most appealing factor of the Kitsuné denim is its "fit once worn" which is a result of the balance between weight and weave. 

Of course the brand infuses extra details with its attention to craftsmanship. Men's jeans feature a tri-color tag and red and blue selvage inside, a reminder of the brand's French heritage. When I am on the next hunt for the perfect pair of jeans, I will definitely be keeping Maison Kitsuné top of mind. 

The Denim Jacket

The denim jacket, a classic that even our parents wore, made a come back over the past few seasons. I admit, I was never a huge fan of the denim jacket, however, there have been some updated styles to the old classic that I do like. The weather in the northeast has been quite crazy this winter- 20 one day and 55 degrees 12 hours later!

With a warmer day on our hands, it created the perfect opportunity to leave the heavy down jacket at home and wear an updated denim jacket. I opted for a coated canvas in brown denim instead of traditional "blue jean." The "moto" trend has been popular and something that I embraced previously, and my denim jacket gave way to another moto inspired look.

I paired a coated denim jacket with one of my favorite pair of denim, filled with detailed stitching and zippers. I kept the look dark on the top with a black polo for an edgier look and finished it off with black suede boots.
