That’s the new underwear push from Diesel, who’ve put together a new range of “Underdenim” trunks for men who like to wear their slacks low with a bit of cheek on show, otherwise known as the “Most Dumbest Fashion Fad Eva”. Misleading marketing be-damned, they’re made of cotton rather than denim (which we’re certain your knackers will be thankful …
The case for red trousers – not just for toffs and hipsters
As a feckless youth in the mid 80s I once bought a pair of red trousers. I chose them because all my favourite 60s bands seemed to favour brightly coloured trews in their key end of the decade psychedelic phase.

Levi’s Launch Waterless Line
I have a bit of a confession to make. I pretty much never wash my jeans…Once in a while I throw them in the freezer, but that’s about it.

The Death Of Organic Denim
At one point the majority of denim brands Levi’s, 7 For All Mankind, Earnest Sewn, and J Brand offered at least one pair of organic cotton jeans and while it may have seemed like a gimmicky sales tactic, cotton is one of the worst offenders when it comes to the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
