    "Greige" is a color. Grey and Beige. The search returned women's hair because it is a popular color in Japan. // You should take a look into some of the new Japanese companies that are not repro makers like TCB and Freewheeler's. I love my TCB's but there are some really nice new things happening out here that aren't 501 remakes.

      Interesting, would you mind elaborating on which new companies you speak of? I'm very curious, as much as I like the old stuff I do change with the times and I really like a lot of contemporary stuff these days.

    • @thePowerPlant

      ​@@BlueAltitudes Hi John! They lean a little more avant garde, but Norbit is a really nice newish brand, just starting to splash Stateside. I really dig their aesthetic, but it often requires getting multiple pieces to complete the look. And that's $$$. Another brand I love is Auralee. They are not really in the US at all, but their stuff is cut like trousers (and come in brown!!). Also, Farah is very new and hits!! I do not have a pair yet but am planning to get one soon. TRIPLE pleats!! One commonality between all these brands is that they do not make tight models. All are easy to wear and look fly as hell. Some may look a little contemporary for some, but they're nice as hell. I think what separates these brands, is that they are not really denim makers. They just happen to make jeans. Some may not like that, but I think they are great.

    Hey, don't know if you're a big watch guy, but i recently saw a vintage Hamilton Khaki Field watch online, that had an "L. L. Bean" signature on the dial. Apparently Hamilton used to do store signatures on the dial in the same style as for example Rolex did with Tiffany's back then. Seen you mention L.L. Bean a bunch on this channel, thought you'd might be interested
