Brown Label: Simple Name, Extraordinary Jean




I happened upon this line of jeans a little over a year ago in a small boutique, tried them on, and have not been able to get them out of my mind since! This is one brand that definitely deserves more attention!

Brown Label came quietly onto the scene in October of 2004. If you haven't already seen these in person, this brand has one of the most definitive and unique pocket shapes out there. What is even better is that they actually look suprisingly flattering on.

Canadian native Jason Verhoeven and his wife after 18 years in the fasion industry have realized their dream of creating their own line of clothing. The brand name, Brown Label, has such a simple ring to it, but these jeans are anything but simple. Verhoeven says he packed these jeans full of culture, lifestyle and class. Fusing innovative design with the intent to capture the insterest of consumers around the globe, this line has a taste all of its own. Personally, I am not sure by just looking at them, what cultures are being fused together, but they are certainly unique and beautiful.

As I mentioned before, the pockets have a very distinctive shape that is intricately designed and shaped to boost the derriere. The signature “B” is strategically placed to draw the eye to the center of the pocket (instead of the outside) which projects a sleeker appearance. This was personally my favorite part about the jean (pockets usually make or break the deal for me). They gave my rear a wonderful boost and were very well placed, neither being too high or too low.

Brown Label always seems to me like a wonderfully ironic name for these very chic and intricate jeans, but perhaps that's what they were aiming for... simple-chic!

If you are looking for less than retail (like me), here are a few!

Supporting Nigeria through Denim



Sometimes I sit back and contemplate where our money goes when a pair of jeans is bought for retail price. It definitely leaves our pockets, but where does it go? I can picture the CEO cruising home on some L.A. highway to their posh pad on a hill sprinkled with palm trees overlooking the glittering city lights for one scenario. It's nice that all of us denim-lovers have made some of these companies wealthy beyond their own dreams, but wouldn't it be nicer if some of that money helped people in need?

Thats what Designer Kristopher Enuke thought when he contrived the line of jeans called Oligo Tissew. Born in Nigeria, raised in England, and then continueing his education in L.A., Enuke cultivated quite an eclectic background.


Never forgetting his roots, Enuke desired to create a jean with high attention to detail and understated sex appeal. Oligo Tissew (which he coined to mean 'refined cloth') was born. For every purchase of a pair of these jeans, a portion of the sale goes to funding and supporting schools in his hometown in Nigeria. Each jean has a star on one pocket, signifying the future possibilities of the children in Nigeria, and a ribbon on the other signifying our need to remember those children who are suffering and struggling as well.

What a refreshing twist for a pair of high-priced designer jeans, eh? Not to mention, they have a great curvy yoke that gives your derriere a nice lift, and fabric that is both beautiful and the comfort level is out of this world (and this is from personal experience)! These can be tricky to find, but they are worth it (every penny!)!! This is one pair of designer jeans that you can feel good about spending your money on!

Here is your Fortune for Today


At least, that may be what the sales rep will be saying to you while handing you your next pair of jeans.

Fortune Denim is a new, up-and-coming denim brand that is blazing its path through the celebrity list already. With its sleek style, imperial satin lining, and individual fortunes this brand has made a mark and might, just might make it a little further than most designer jean labels springing up left and right these days.

Everyone is trying to come up with something new and creative to stand out amongst the crowd. Fortune is no exception. I love the idea of sewing an individual fortune into each jean. After all, who doesn't like to open a fortune cookie and see what it has to say? Let's just hope the pair you end up keeping has a fortune you can deal with! And I am really liking the idea of having the inside of my jeans lined in satin; goodbye abrasive waistbands and bunched up pockets! They boast that the lining comes in a few different shades representing the Tang Dynasty. Did I mention the buttons come with 24 hand-set delicate swarovski crystals that resemble a special ancient Chinese coin? The subtle but metallic and slightly abstract floral design on the back pockets gives them just enough femininity and just enough flare.

The downside? These baby's are pricey. And not likely to be easy to find for any discount unless you live in L.A. or N.Y. I have no idea how they fit, or what body shapes they will most likely flatter, but I am itching to find out! Hopefully I can snag a pair sometime in the future, if I am so fortunate!

You can check them out for now at www.fortunedenim.com!

Brand Spotlight: Rock and Republic




What is it about Rock and Republic? It certainly can't be the $200+ price tag that keeps people coming back for more, or the yards of fabric one has to cut off if you are less than super-model height. What is it then?

For years I have been fascinated and obsessed with denim, but this one thing I have to admit: I was never a big fan of R&R. In fact, I found the brand quite bizarre and tacky in many respects and could not understand why people could love it, even adore it. And I certainly couldn't understand some of those that I know that worship it to the point of owning hundreds. But if this brand really is so popular and so great, I must be judging too quickly, I must be missing something. So I decided it was time to enlighten myself and go on a hunt for what makes this brand tick.

In retrospect, I can now say that the many great things about this brand I simply over-looked. There is no secret or divine truth in these jeans, but I did finally find out what is so great about R&R (and gained a new appreciation for it as well!). First off, the washes are absolutely gorgeous. There is probably not another brand out there that does it quite like Rock and Republic. If you are looking for a wash that says "I'm stunning", than look no further. They are unique, incredible, and both very fun and very sexy. This is what I see as their absolute strongest point of their brand.

Then there is the fabric- it is incredibly soft and supple and thin, almost like a pair of your favorite PJ's. For me, this tends to not be a good thing because I like denim with a more supportive and prominent feel. However, if my body shape were right for R&R's, I'd jump right into a pair of these comfy jeans!

Lastly, I found that an "R" just looks good on a butt. Period. There are some shapes and letters that do not, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why 7 for all Mankind put an "A" on one of their pocket styles. It is not a what I would call the most ingenious of choices, but it still works. The "H" on Citizens of Humanity barely squeaks by as looking OK and somewhat aesthetic. However, the way the "R" on Rock and Republic is constructed with its stiletto-like heel and sexy curve that throws itself outward, hugging the curves of your derriere, definitely is a winner as far as letters go. Again, I am not one to like big letters or logos slapped on my rear, but for those who don't mind, Rock and Republic definitely pulled it off.

Some other great things to note about this brand is the variety of cuts, rises and fits, as well as different style pockets (for people like me) who prefer designs like the phoenix, scorpion, fleur and crowns instead of the R's.

Rock and Republic just may find its way into my closet yet. I think I may try to hunt down some beautiful Fleur De Lis jeans, because I love how that shape actually works for the rear (also has some fun ties to The Da Vinci Code). For those of you wondering if Rock and Republic would be a good choice for you, I would define the fit of them in general as tight-thigh, low rise, high and small pockets, with a wide waist. These jeans look best on petite girls and women (and men) and typically best on those with petite derrieres to boot (pun intended).

From the head haunchos at Rock and Republic:
Rock & Republic means edgy, progressive design inspired by Rock & Roll and with an emphasis on modern silhouettes and a sleek fit. Each piece in the collection is designed for sexy, confident men and women who live the lifestyle and really understand the look.
(and if you've never been to their website, it's edgy flashy site is definitely worth a visit! www.rockandrepublic.com)

Ever wonder how jeans are made??




Most of us assume that our jeans, whether from the Gap or from Rock and Republic, involve some kind of factory process. Pictures come to mind of the good ol' assembly line with jean after jeans passing through. But just what does go on at these factories and what processes are required in order to make a pair of jeans?

First, a pattern of about 15 pieces of the jean is drawn and supplied to the manufacturer. Once in the manufacturer's hands, a computer will digitally compute the best way to puzzle the pieces together on a piece of denim fabric in order to waste the least amount of fabric.

A large paper with this jig-saw of jean piece patterns will then be laid on top of large sheets of denim fabric, typically 100-300 or so sheets stacked at a time.


With large and heavy weights to hold the pattern on top of the piles of fabric, they will then proceed to slice through all the layers making 100's of each pattern piece at once with a textile cutting machine. This is why sometimes the very same jean can fit slightly different from another jean, because the cutting machine can slightly stretch as it pulls downward through the pile cutting.

Each piece is then marked it's specific size with chalk and gathered together into size groups. These are then taken to the manufacturers sewing machines, where workers sew (or feed into machines) each piece of jean together as quickly and carefully as possible.

Not quite done yet, now the assembled jeans are taken to a gigantic industrial
washing machine where the desired wash effect is produced. Pumice rocks are most typical for this process to create the 'stonewash' effect. Other chemicals or acids are used at this time as well for other wash effects. After this, a jean may be further destroyed by hand grinders, sanders and the like to add additional and strategical placements of fading and abrasions (such as whiskerings).

After all this, the jeans are carefully inspected numerous times by being passed down an assembly line of workers looking for any faults.

Now, the buttons and rivets are added with a machine press, and then the jeans are sent for final inspection and tags and labels are added (such as hang tags, joker tickets, pocket flashers, leg stickers, inside care labels and assorted product id tags).


Only after all of this the jeans can be bagged and packaged, ready for shipment to their many destinations, including your doorstep!



Fun Facts at a Glance:

•It takes approximately 15 pieces to make a standard pair of jeans
•It takes about 5.2 feet of denim fabric, 600+ feet of sewing thread, 6 rivets, 1-5 buttons (5 for button fly), 4 labels and optionally a zipper to make a pair of jeans.
•On average jean factories can make about 2,500 pair of jeans per day.
•On average, it will take about 15 minutes and 12 steps to make one pair of jeans
•A stonewash for 150 pairs of jeans takes 330 pounds of pumice stone and more than 200 gallons of water!
•Jeans are washed somewhere between 30 minutes and 6 HOURS



Check out the video below to see all these steps actually take place!!

What's in a Yoke?



No, I'm not talking about those things oxen wear to plow the fields or pull your wagon to Oregon, or the center of your yummy sunny-side up on your breakfast plate. This is the v-line at the back of your jeans. The one no one really talks about or is quite sure what it's function is. In fact, even Google wasn't so certain when I asked it.

So what is the yoke there for? Its main function is to aid in proper assembly of the leg area to the waist area. Picture it as you would a doll, it is seperated into many parts to allow for better movement and appearance. The yoke allows for the waist to have its chosen 'contour', ie tighter or wider at the waist. Without the yoke, it is much more difficult to make a pair of jeans that will not bunch or scrunch in odd areas (but it is still done from time to time, especially for trouser style pants and jeans).

Aside from the technical aspects, a yoke can have a very appealing and aesthetic effect for your derriere. Picture now an empire dress, which has a line just below the bust, seperating it from the length of your torso. This has a very flattering and 'lifting' effect. This is essentially what is going on back there on the yoke! The yoke's shape (a nice u or v) will help make your rear more balanced and perky due to the lines adding seperation as well as vectors that draw your eye upwards. This is why you will always hear people suggesting to look for jeans with a yoke, and avoid one's that don't have one (since they make your rear look bigger and less toned).

What about those funky yokes like the Farmer designer brand jeans for instance? These still have the same ability to add balance and perkiness, because the yoke still draws your eye upwards. Sometimes jeans have different shape yokes that can make your hips, waist, or rear seem wider. Other times it can make your rear seem flatter or rounder. Yokes that are placed closer to the waist (higher on the rear) will naturally make your rear look higher, as long as the pockets are placed well. Yokes that are lower on the rear, being closer to 'center' in the back will have a very balancing effect. Some of the largest yokes I've seen are on True Religion's Big (and Super) T Sammy's. They are so big and center that there is honestly no need for pockets, but they are there anyways, and still look great on!

When you are buying trousers, it is more recommended to find trousers with yokes than without. Sometimes you can get the 'hanging off your rear' look instead of a well fitted pant without a yoke. If there's none in sight, atleast aim for pockets that substitute for the vector lines that yokes create (ie, pockets that are horizontal lines, and closer to the center of the rear if possible).

The yoke shape and size also allows designers to play with perceptual illusions that, if used correctly, can actually enhance your derriere! Take a look at the model below to better understand what each yoke shape and size does best.



Inverted Arc: Gives the illusion of a fuller rear.

Straight (Horizontal): This yoke line will make your waist appear wider. I wouldn’t recommend it if you wish to emphasize curves

“V” Shape: Most widely used and most flattering back yoke cut.

Sweet Heart: This yoke type can truly enhance a small derrière, as the cut is clearly outlining a curvy heart shape. It works very well with stretch tight jeans since it allows the pants to conform to your figure.

Extra Wide: This cut is used to achieve the “falling pants” look. The illusion is enhanced by the placement of the pockets way below the but. This look is great for some guys, though not very flattering to any woman’s figure. It beats having the pants actually falling, and certainly makes a point: illusions work!

No Yoke: Of course, this option exists, and is usually combined with seamed pockets. The garment is contoured by the use of darts. This look is very conservative, and with a proper fit can work very well for women with large rear ends.
-yoke chart and types cited from www.jeans-and-accesories.com

So now that you know what that little yoke is there for, next time you try on a pair of jeans, check out what the yoke is doing (or not doing) for you!

For the Guys



Yup, this is it, the grand finale posting of my fit guide. I will of course be tweeking it here and there, and adding images and brands. If you have any suggestions or comments for the fit guide, just comment or send a message! :)

For the Guys: all rules in my fit guide apply but on a much looser scale (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun!).

I found the following information on www.indobase.com and found it to be quite succinct and helpful:

Baggy Jeans - Highly funky and stylish, these Baggies are a great comfort to wear. You can wear them while having an evening walk with friends. It is the perfect choice for the Saturday cool buddy party. But this type is best for those men who are blessed with perfect physique and a good height who do not need to hide any physical flaws. But for overweight men, its not the right choice as it gives a further fatter look.

Carpenter / Worker Style - This is the type ideally meant for carrying out activities but anyways this style is no more to be seen. Only if you plan to take up the job of a carpenter, you can pick up one such pair otherwise it doesn't make much of sense.

Relaxed/Loose Fit Style - Well the specialty of these jeans is that it's a combo of great comfort and a sleek look. They are apt for the relaxed Sunday mood. But remember too loose can give you a funny look and added to it will make you appear shorter and skinnier.

Boot Cut Jeans - The best part is that they give you a slimmer look. They are ideal to flatter your perfect body and just too good for an evening date. It will surely cast magic on your girlfriend and you'll find that she's totally impressed and that is what you want, right? So, now you know the trick.

Skip the Knife, Opt for Jeans




There's the 'pear', the 'apple' the 'square'. And then there's the curvy and the boy-ish figure, the short and the tall, the thin, the athletic. After looking at many guides I have come to one simple realization. None of us fit into just one of these standards. Or two. Maybe three at the least. What is most frustrating is that many guides will assume that if you have a certain 'shape' your height and everything else will be a certain way- and this is just not so. That is why I am formulating a new guide that should be more helpful for targeting every need in a clear and comprehensive manner!

This ultra-condensed guide will finally allow you to find your VARIOUS body 'types' and 'issues', and actually find out exactly what will work best for you! No more guessing! :)

I will be posting one section a day until it is all posted!

Instead of spending thousands on surgery, try some jeans first! For controlling your stomach area, ALWAYS look for a mid-rise jean if this is what you are aiming specifically to fix! No other part of the jean is going to help without a strong supportive mid-rise as a foundation!

•Pockets: Not applicable to this particular area, it is dependent on other issues. Check your other areas of concern on this list to see what may be best for you.

•Cut: Not applicable to this particular area, it is dependent on other issues. Check your other areas of concern on this list to see what may be best for you.

•Rise: Always mid-rise (not low rise or extra high- you will need the waistband to support across the trouble area). Wide waistbands are much more comfortable and supportive generally than smaller ones. There are also many brands specifically designed to control stomachs (such as Not Your Daughters Jeans).

•Wash: Preferably, you want to shop for dark washes, which conceal more lumps and bumps than medium or light washes. And you will also want to look for a heavy denim (some stretch, but mostly rigid, to conceal lumps and bumps). Paige makes some wonderful higher than average rise options, and her jeans are very comfortable but have thick and supportive fabric.

•Stretch or Rigid: A very sturdy stretch will do this job best! Avoid jeans with thin fabric or a stretch that goes on forever. The brand 'Not Your Daughter's Jeans' aka, NYDJ, is a well-known brand for helping give shape and support all over!! To learn more about this brand: Sandel Shapes Things Up With Tummy Tuck Jeans
