Veteran-Owned Trinidad3 Jeans Makes Jeans with American Selvedge - Sourcing Journal

Trinidad3 Jeans is starting a new chapter in its patriotic story. The men's denim brand founded by U.S. Martine veterans Trinidad Garcia III and Joe Lafko will launch its first jean made with American selvedge denim on July 4.

The brand exclusively partnered with Louisiana-based Vidalia Mills for the new selvedge fabric made on the antique Draper X3 looms that once weaved Cone Denim's renowned White Oak denim. The selvedge denim fabric itself is made with cotton grown from BASF's sustainable e3 cotton seeds farmed in Texas and Louisiana.

The American Selvedge jeans features hallmarks of the Los Angeles-based brand, including its signature no-rivet design, a red bar tack on the left seam, smooth flat felled seams, and clean and unembellished back pockets. The American Selvedge jean will be available in sizes 28 through 40 and will retail for $185.

"We knew we wanted to be able to have a classic feel and character to the jean, but we didn't want to just make something that was run of the mill, so to speak," Garcia said. "We had to have our touches, our thoughts and our personal heritage engrained in it."

Trindad3 intended to launch the jean earlier this year but COVID-19 forced delays in the project. The brand was one of the first to pivot production from jeans to face masks at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. In just seven days, the team produced 20,000 masks for hospitals in need.

The new launch date, however, is an opportunity for the made in L.A. brand to celebrate Independence Day in a special way, Lafko said.

The new style joins the brand's newly released stretch denim collection and denim neck gaiters. Trinidad3 is sold almost exclusively on the brand's website, though the company is expanding its wholesale business this fall. The brand will be exhibiting at the upcoming August show at the Dallas Market Center.

Emma Roberts Found the Most Comfortable Way to Wear Jeans - Who What Wear

Posted: 30 Jun 2020 02:05 PM PDT

It's not often we see celebrities at the airport these days, but Emma Roberts just took flight and wore a comfortable denim outfit for the occasion. Roberts, who is rumored to be pregnant with her first child, jetted out of LAX late last week, and if a jeans outfit is comfortable enough for a flight, you know it's comfortable enough for many non-travel occasions. 

Roberts's outfit was certainly oversize, but there were a few things she did to keep it looking polished. She wore a big T-shirt and even bigger cardigan, but she paired them with straight-leg dark-wash jeans and ankle boots. If she had gone with sweatpants and flip-flops, sure, it would've been even more comfortable, but certainly not as chic. And of course, the most important part of any outfit these days is a mask. Wear one.

Selfsized- Jeans that Fit Everyone in the Room - WWD

Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:00 AM PDT

Selfsized, which was first launched for S/S 20, received industry praise thanks to its unique feature that one single size jean can fit a wide range of different sized wearers perfectly. All Selfsized denim products have been developed with Calik Denim's T-Power technology to eliminate elastane yarn slippage.

The Selfsized fabric concept is defined by its authentic cotton touch but ultra-high elasticity that offers enhanced softness and comfort. Through this article, Calik Denim customers can achieve a wide range of wash effects to suit core and commercial denim offerings. Included in the portfolio are feminine and premium looks with soft hand feeling, authentic denim-look fabrics with salt & pepper effects and a range of vintage washes. Selfsized is also a compatible option for menswear, evident through textured slubs character for that classic masculine look. These jeans really are for everyone and you don't need to worry about your size anymore!

Selfsized Helps Brands Minimize the Risk of Online Sales

Thanks to Selfsized's ultra high-elasticity and cotton content for maximum comfort and softness, the concept minimizes the risk of buying wrong size jeans – especially in e-commerce. Given that the digitally native Gen-Z audience is regarded as a generation of impulse purchasers, Selfsized's stretch technology will help protect brands from the chance of returns from this group. Selfsized also dramatically decreases the number of sizes that will be produced at the garment manufacturing stage and help support stronger sell-through and less waste for Calik Denim clients.

Scaling-back on SKUs to trade on quality over quantity has its risks but done right with the support of Calik technologies, Calik Denim can help businesses streamline their supply chain, improve speed to market, and a more confident and cohesive brand message can be communicated. Given the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the forced store closures across the globe, Calik Denim believes this innovation will be a crucial element for brands looking to future proof their businesses online.
 
Supply Chain Reshoring Puts Turkey into Focus

Whilst the priority at present is to contain the spread of this deadly virus and help the individuals affected, as an industry we're all too aware of the impact on the fashion supply chain and our potential over-reliance on Far East production. The disruption is undoubtedly hastening many retailers and suppliers to reassess their supply chains within the global textile industry. It is expected that Turkey will take on an even stronger leading role as a producer beyond the pandemic, especially for countries that are dependent on foreign production. Turkey's expert history in denim production along with its central position within Europe will make it a crucial proposition for brands and retailers, whose fast-track and capsule collections are dependent on very short lead times and high flexibility from suppliers and factories.

Bella Thorne recently gave fans a glimpse into her onset life for her new film "Infamous." The actress sat on the ground in what looks to be a dressing room trailer in a neon green ribbed tank top teamed with black cut-off high-waisted shorts. The eye-catching element of the look was not the bright top, but the fake blood smeared across Thorne's arm.

The 22-year-old added to the grungy ensemble with a set of skate-style high top sneakers, accented with white stitching and loose white laces. The exposed stitching of her kicks resembles the detailing of popular styles from Vans as well as Converse and Cariuma.

When it comes to Thorne's personal style, the actress already owns a wide collection of pairs from Ugg, including the brand's edgy graffiti slides. The 22-year-old tends to mix it up between casual short shorts and sneakers and heels from brands like Christian Louboutin, Stella Luna and Saint Laurent. The "Midnight Sun" star has served as an ambassador for Biore, Buxom and Neutrogena products as well as starred in campaigns for Miss Me, Candie's and more.
