LEVEL JEANS: Separating the Men from the Boys.

Gentlemen, I’ve seen a simultaneous upwards and downwards trend amongst you all recently. A fashion-forward few are consciously selecting clothes that are tailored well and made of excellent material – quality alone can render a piece truly timeless. Then there are those lost souls who look like a Duckie and Spicoli love child (I am starting the ban on headbands starting….now). Level jeans are for the former and they’ll leave you with enough dinero to wine and dine your lady.

The Latest addition to the Level brand, Level jeans USA boasts high quality vintage construction with a tailored fit. They mix specialty imported fabrics and unique washes for every style jean from traditional straight leg to skinny five pocket.

Many times you hear of women choosing outfits that transition well from work to a night out on the town; now men have options that can transition well from the office to a NBA playoff game and to the club. For example, the jeans in this picture can be handsomely paired with a crisp white high Korean collar dress shirt, vest and jacket with some John Lobbs for the office. After work, just lose the jacket, unbutton your shirt a bit and substitute your Lobbs with some white Paul Smith Coopers for the game and evening.

Month of Photography Los Angeles

The place to be this Tuesday is at the GHOSTNOTES exhibit by world renowned photographer B+. Described as, “a “photo-album” that both documents and critiques music in its relation to the world,” GHOSTNOTES is sure to impress Hip Hop heads and art aficionados alike. Respected not only in the photography world but also in the clandestine world of digging for rare vinyl, B+ has an intimate understanding of the influence lost records has upon music, most significantly, Hip Hop music.
