Kr3w The K Skinny Slim Fit in Rolled White - It' Trash Day!!

It's Friday and it's trash day, time to take out the trash. Today's pile of garbage is The Kr3w K Skinny Slim Fit. First off the name is worst then the jean, the skinny slim fit; very creative;  why didn't the just say, "we are not sure what to call the jeans, lets not be creative in anyway."  The actual look of the jeans in way worst, was it a white jeans with gray splotches or the other way around; plus wearing white jeans is hard enough, for most guys, so why would they add gray an even hardly color to wear. I think this is a slouch fit, but it seems more like a gaucho fit, which is more like a 1910 pilot and if that pilot is a terrible painter.  Why would you want to wear jeans that look like a zombie's flesh, you would date someone with a flesh eating virus. Well I guess when the zombie apocalypse happens these will be in style; until that happens avoid white jeans with gray herpes or gray jeans with lots of white herpes.  I applaud Kr3w for trying and failing miserable, but that's how business is done these days.  If you are so brave and want to prove everyone wrong, then these are the jeans for you and are beyond my help.  So back up you car and dig through the garbage, because your gem awaits you brave soul.  Oh, I hear the trash truck backing up, gotta go.

Wednesday Rant - Clothes That Aren't Your Size

It's Wednesday, time for a rant. Today we will study the infamous "muffin top" or "spare tire." I love when I am out, enjoying the day; when it walks around the corner and like a train wreck you can't stop staring. What is it? Jeans that don't fit or the elusive too tight t-shirt. Now don't get me wrong, I think people of all sizes you enjoy fashion as much as I do; where I draw the line is when the clothes don't fit and end up looking terrible. No one knows what size your wearing, that's why size are posted on the inside of clothes. I know that some brands don't come in all sizes, but why would you want a brand that doesn't cater to every size. Believe me I know first hand about wearing a size to small. I used to wanna wear smalls and 30 inch jeans because I thought that was the perfect size. Then I learned that the perfect size is whatever size fits you the best. I suggest you shop around, not every brand will fit you body type; sometimes you can't wear a brand you may really want to wear. That's why there are thousands of brands to choose from, branch out and find what works for you; sometimes skinny jeans may not work, but have you tried slim jeans for now they make skinny jeans with a slouchy fit. I am not trying to pick on anyone or make anyone feel bad, I just want to educate you. I want to let you know, dear readers, that there are more options out there and you just have to seek them out. I guess that's what I am here to do; so from now on I will each month I will do a post for the bigger guys about who still wanna be fashionable. Let's recap; buy clothes that are your size, get measured and don't worry about people knowing your size. Own that size!!!

Kid Robot Zombie Homer

Kid Robot has done it again! First they launched a Simpsons Dunny collection, which had some special characters; funzo, hippie homer, devil flanders and more. Now the 2nd series has arrived and it has some amazing specials. Including the Simpsons Family as a mariachi band and the Simpsons as zombie. I know, I know everyone is doing zombie these days; movies, video games and t.v. Well the Simpsons are such classic characters, why would we immortalize their visage as the walking dead. It's straight out of their "Tree House of Horrors" series. The each have pale skin with chunks of flesh missing. As usual Kid Robot has upped the ante and put zombie Homer on a t-shirt. It's a white shirt with a dunny Homer in full on zombie glory. He pastie and a good size chunk of his skull is missing, with his brain showing. His clothes are tattered and he has a funny, but always serious zombie scowl. The white really brings out the muted colors, which is not your normal bright blue pants and yellow skin. Even though Homer has been turned into a zombie, he still has his few remaining strands of hair and a lover pinkish-red tongue; hanging zombie like out of his head. I can't wait to search for the Simpsons zombie family and what better to wear, on my tireless journey, then the Zombie Simpsons Dunny shirt. Kid Robot I applaud you for stepping up to the zombie craze in such a bold stride, with fashion always on your mind. I am like a zombie, a fashion zombie, always craving that best deal and thirsting after new items.

Kid Robot Hooverville Dunny

I love this shirt! It reminds me of early cartoons from the 30's and 40's, and I love anything vintage. The tee is a Kid Robot and artist Frank Kozik; Frank is a frequent collaborates with Kid Robot and has designed for many major brands, including Nike. My favorite part of this design is the everything is monochrome colors expect the apples. It's a lovely contrast of colors and green goes really well with the monochrome colors. I believe their is a hidden political message behind those choices, but I will leave that to the over thinkers. The character seem so happy just selling his apples, in what seems like the depression era; it really makes a statement in this recession times. I do have to mention that Kid Robot had a really good size chart, but it's a blanket chart; which means it's the same chart for every shirt. Hopefully with a high end company all mediums would the size as all mediums. I do recommend you find this in a store and try them on first there are not many stores and most of the clothes can be found online. These shirts are well worth the $30 dollars, it's like you are wearing a painting on your t-shirt. Take my advice for once and buy this shirt.

Kid Robot Peter vs. Chicken Tee

Kid Robot is probably one of those brands you have never heard of, until now. I know Kid Robot from collecting the line of Simpsons Dunny figures. They also happen to make some awesome clothing to go with their many dunny characters. Since Kid Robot is so exclusive I haven't yet tried on any of the their tee, but they have some amazing graphics. This tee got me to fall in love with their designs, I love Family Guy and I am especially love the Peter vs. Chicken story arc. The first time I saw them fight it was ridiculous and I laughed my ass off. Now I can immortalize such a great comedic moment in a t-shirt. There's nothing worse then having a favorite t.v. show or film and finding a crappy, ill fitting t-shirt for sale on their website. So I am always grateful when great brands take it upon themselves to fix this problem. The front side of t-shirt has a beat up Peter Griffin holding a bent crowbar and the back has the Chicken holding a frying pan he used to smash in Peter's face. The characters are in their standard dunny form, which is a shorter and wide version. Now if I can only get Kid Robot to make actual dunny characters, just like The Simpsons one I collect now.

Top 5 Denim Brands

Top 5 Denim Brands

#5 RVCA

RVCA already makes amazing tops, but the jeans are just a amazing. I have to admit I haven't tried all the the fits on yet, but the pair I did try on fit it was amazing. They had great stretch and were raw denim. They didn't have any back pocket stitching and I am a sucker for pocket stitching. RVCA does have great looking twill pant and cord selection, but there is no originality or anything to distinguish from other denim brands. The price is the low to mid around $60 to $80 and can be found at most Pac Sun stores. I love RVCA's t-shrits and jackets, I just feel their denim is lacking passion or that little extra.


#4 Diesel Jeans

Some people on the internet may argue that Diesel Jeans are the best around; I could almost agree with that statement. If you had asked me 4 years ago I would have put these at #1, but lately the washes have gotten more outlandish looking. Diesel offers a huge variety of jeans in many unique washes, everything from skinny jeans to loose fit. I used to own only Diesel jeans, back when bootcut was popular and I have to credit Diesel for introducing me to skinny jeans. My favorite fit was the Diesel Timmen; it was a awesome slim fit and they had a great was that looked like it was shot with a gun. After a while the fit started to change, prices got higher and the back pocket stitching went from unique and amazing to just plain lame. I was even a member of a popular denim forum and could wax intellectual, about denim, with the best of denimologists. I realized I didn't like the people commenting of my collection and nothing was ever good enough, bu that's not why I stopped wearing these jeans. The fit was a super low rise and most of the jeans wear super tight on the legs, especially if you workout. Plus I just couldn't afford to keep up the ever expensive high fashion jeans lifestyle. I still catch myself checking eBay for vintage models and once in while I pop into the old forum, which has changed, to see what styles are the most popular and to laugh at all the shit talkers. I recommend these jeans for any has no problem dropping $200 dollars a pair and wants to be on the cutting edge denim trends.


#3 Nudie Jeans

Nudie jeans are the scientific man's jeans. They are jeans you buy as raw denim, wear for 6 months and become personally broken in by wearing them without washing. The are like a fashion science experiment and you play the scientist. Nudie jeans, like Diesel, come in a large variety and the washes range from raw denim to regular light washes. The price is mid range, $100-$200 depending on the wash and fit. The draw back to Nudies is each individual jeans fits differently, so they are hard to buy online. I am lucky enough to have a retailer who sells these locally and unless you have tried on every different fit; I wouldn't recommend buying online. My personal favorite fit is the Slim Jim, of course a slim jean, in organic denim. I have also tried the Average Joe but the pair I tried on was a super heavy and thick, not my personal favorite. I prefer supersoft and light. This brand doesn't have quite the large amount of fit and washing that diesel does; it does however have some simple amazing looking jeans. Nudie jeans are definitley worth it if you have no problem not washing your jeans for 6 months. Enjoy you scientific jeans Mr. Wizard.

#2 WeSC

I was introduced to WeSC a year ago and it has rapidly become one of my favorite brands. They t-shirts are unique and amazing, there outerwear is some of the finest and the jeans getting better and better. The purchased my first pair on the recommendation of a co-worker and I even wore them when I proposed to my finance. They are elegant looking and the organic jeans are supersoft and lightweight. The only draw back is they fit variety is a little sparse, with only 4 fits to date; skinny, slim, and two straight fits. It's the washes that separate this brand from most jeans. I already did three posts on these jeans, if you want more information check em out they are very detailed blogs.

#1 Levi's

If you know me or even have seen me on the street you know I love my Levi's and won't be seen without them on. I started wearing them last year and they keep evolving each month. I started with the 511 fit and have tried on 510, 514, 501 and other fits. Their new low rise skinny 591 is such an amazing fit with a skinny top and skinnest bottom. The 511 is your standard skinny and comes in a super large variety of washes; all shades of blue, gray and black. I would even say it has the largest amount of washes for each fit. Plus the price is just right; low to mid range $40 to $80 dollars depending on wash. They even carry a premium line with fits that seem to be the in between fits of the regular line. Levi's are also sold almost everywhere; this is good and bad at the same time. You have access to these jeans anywhere you go, but most of them washes are simple and just plain ugly. I would find your size and go online to find the best of the best washes. Also Levi's does tons of collabs with all sorts of brands, some of these you can't even find in the U.S. Why wouldn't this be one of the best brands; they have been perfecting the brand since the 1800's. My favorite pair of Levi's I have is the 511 Zipper Rigid Villain, a super dark pair with thick back pocket stitching and zipper on the back pockets. Levis is the quintessential American denim brand and this year is my #1 brand. Who knows next year there probably will be new number one and Levi's won't even crack the top five. I guess that's just my A.D.D. or my search for the next best denim brand.

Friday Trash Day - Lebron 8 V2 'Christmas'

It's Friday time to take out the trash! Every Friday I going to dig through the internet and bag up the garbage. Today's stinker is the not yet released Nike Lebron 8 V2 'Christmas' edition; coming, like a lump of coal, to stores December 26th. So you can look forward to opening you presents, rooting through all the awesomeness, just to be dissapointed the day after. I you frequent shoe blogs you may have seen these popping up lately. I can usually find somethings about shoes that I like, but these shoes make it so hard to like any part. First off, expect for Jordan shoes, most shoes made for basketball stars are hideous. What can I say I am just not a fan of modern basketball shoes; those from the 80's and 90's are some of the best. These shoes are a whole new level of bad, and not bad in a good way. First off the shoe is red, red, red; I know what your saying "it's a Christmas shoe." Fair enough, but why not make the shoe primarily white and red as the secondary color; I would also go with a darker green for the laces. The shoe looks like someone spilled a can of red paint on a perfectly ugly shoe. Plus the colorway look like a Gucci rip off and have you ever been in a Gucci store, most of their stuff is ugly and expensive: Just like this shoe. That's bring up my next point, who decided shoes should be a thin a pointy as possible; they look like a stretched out Air Max 93. I have problem wearing a Jordan Retro 1 or even the Charles Barkley. I am pretty sure that these shoes are made to increase you mobility and help your game; so then go buy a regular Lebron 8 or Hypermax. Also what is the speckled midsole, if this was an ACG shoe it would look fine, but this is supposed to be a basketball shoe: what's the point? All in all, this shoe is the Grinch that almost stole Christmas, but arrived a day late and no one really cared. Love Lebron or Hate him, who care's because this shoe is a hunch of garbage and now it's time to take out the trash. I hear the truck coming and I must get this to the curb.
