Even Dryer Denim: Naked & Famous Snowpants

Snow pants…not the most fashionable clothing option in your closet.

Thanks to those wacky denim scientists at Naked & Famous, the same team that brought us “scratch ‘n’ sniff” denim, “stainless steel” denim, and thermochromic denim, we now have an excuse to go play out in the snow.

Naked & Famous uses unique and rare fabric imported from Japan, but they manage to keep their prices reasonable. They might have old school practices when it comes to creating the perfect pair of jeans (they refuse to create washes or embroider pockets) but that doesn’t mean they lack a sense of humor. “How boring would it be to only make great dark indigo jeans? We love to create things that are special and unique that nobody has ever done before,” said Brandon Svarc, owner and designer of Naked & Famous.

The “Snow Pant” from Naked & Famous looks exactly like your favorite pair of slim, dark, denim jeans. “We made the Snowpant jeans because we love products that are fun, crazy and useful,” Svarc said.

They are wind resistant, lined in bonded, nylon fleece material, and the best part – they have a waterproof coating, which will keep them, and you, dry as bone. No hypothermia here.

The zippered and Velcro ankle opening will help you get these bad boys over your snow boots – or ski boots. You can now snowboard in style (with out that annoying swishy sound every time you take a step).

So get into that snowball fight without worrying about looking like you have control problems.

DUER goes beyond denim with game changing fabric
Using a Nobel Proze-winning nanofiber to change flannel

We're a fan of men's style. We're a fan of science. So when the two collide in stellar innovation, we can nerd out a little bit. DUER, an innovative denim company that we have spoken to before, found a way to catch our attention again with a scientific innovation in their new Performance Flannel that not only regulates your temperature and feels great, but uses an honest to God Nobel Prize-winning fiber to do so.

"Graphene caught our attention as a Nobel prize-winning nano-fiber with exceptional performance properties that don’t impact a fabric’s weight, breathability, or soft feel," said Gary Lennett, CEO of DUER. "We’ve integrated graphene into our Performance Flannel to provide enhanced thermal regulation— keeping you warm when it’s cold, and cool when it’s hot. Added to that, it fights static and keeps clothing fresh longer, marking a significant step in the future of textiles."

From goldmines to sex appeal: The evolution of denim
Jeans journey from function to fashion
jJans stacked on store shelf

 

Denim is a staple in our wardrobes. From the guy building your house to the guy selling your house, the guy fixing the plumbing to the guy who owns the building it is in, every man wears denim. Jeans are one of the few items across menswear that span the gap between all demographics. Rich or poor, working stiff or executive weekend warrior, we all love a good pair of jeans. It is crazy to think that the pair of jeans you wear today traces its origins back to the Gold Rush and spent its first century planted firmly in the work world. A lot has changed since then, and there is a deep history. We couldn't possibly pick through all of it, so we decided instead to reach out to a professional who has forgotten more about jeans than we will ever know. Founder of DUER, Gary Lenett, spent decades in the jeans industry with every top brand you have in your closet. Now, he spends his time developing jeans himself, looking for a better way. We got a chance to sit down with Gary to get his take on the legendary garment and its staying power.

Smart casual vs. business casual: Is there even a difference?
Are you business or smart casual

A man's wardrobe can be a deeply complex thing. It can also be one of the more simple aspects of your life. It all comes down to how you build it and how well you understand it. You can break it down as simply as possible by building a small capsule wardrobe, making it something you never have to think about. Or you can be someone who is forced to adhere to a business casual wardrobe. Either way, there is a requirement to find an understanding. There are also different designations of a wardrobe that may seem the same on the surface but cause a bit of confusion, such is the case when you compare smart casual vs business casual.

They are both used to describe a look that is somewhere in between the formal business wardrobe made possible by a suit and tie and the more day-to-day looks made up of a T-shirt and jeans. While some may think that they are interchangeable, there are some differences that will save you if you need to dress one or the other. Here is what you need to pick up the know-how between the two designations.
