Double Double Denim in West Hollywood

By Gretchen Schneider

20120301-205551.jpg

It all comes full circle. I started this blog as a celebration of the double denim look, often condemned as a fashion faux pas. The first original image I ever posted was of this baby draped in denim, whom I spotted in the elevator at Target in West Hollywood. Fast forward 10 months, and who do I meet? A couple of guys, both with Levi’s, one of whom is a correspondent for denim blog powerhouse Denimology (!!!), in the very same elevator, rocking Canadian Tuxedos.

On the left is Thomas Rossi, Jr., in Levi’s Made for Craft jeans and Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1955 Sawtooth shirt. To the right is Darrrell Nobrega in a Levi’s Type 1 Trucker jacket and 520 taper jeans.

Thanks, guys! You made my week!

Another Canadian Tuxedo at Coffee Commissary

By Gretchen Schneider

Another hour, another Canadian Tux at Coffee Commissary – a.k.a. Land of Denim. If you think I’m joking, I saw SIX Canadian Tuxedos in less than 2 hours there yesterday. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Rheese Detrow, drummer in the band Dendelo, which just completed a new, yet-to-be-named album of raw/aggressive rock. Rheese is such a sweetheart; trying to imagine aggressive coming from him … I digress.

Anyway, Rheese is seen here in a vintage flannel-lined Levi’s jacket and LA-based Schaeffer’s Garment Hotel 15 oz. Japanese Denim jeans.

More Double Denim at Palihouse

So many Aussies in double denim at Palihouse last weekend! Right after meeting Dion, I ran into Avishai Ungar of Picaholic.com fame in Levi’s jeans and a denim Zara top. Avishai and I had actually met several months before at the VirtualSx event at The Roosevelt. As a result, our conversation got pretty interesting very quickly last Saturday.

More double denim at The Spare Room

By Gretchen Schneider

Here is Bill “Smitty” Smith, drummer in the band Truth &  Salvage Co., rocking out in a Canadian Tuxedo (Gap jacket and Levi’s jeans) at The Spare Room in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Truth & Salvage can be seen at the Troubadour on March 24 at their farewell show before they relocate the band to Nashville. With indie denim powerhouse Imogene + Willie putting out some of the best double denim looks, we think Smitty will feel right at home.

I’m a terrible blogger! Been sitting on this image for weeks now. Here is my new pal, Brandon Gabriel, draped in denim as we pre-game in Studio City (yeah that’s right – I hit the valley from time -to-time). Brandon is ready to roll in his favorite G-Star Raw from head to toe.

Canadian Tuxedo Birthday BASH! #loveit

cyrcle's avatar*Posts pre-2013*

We joined our friend Bonnie for her Canadian Tuxedo Birthday Bash last week. Of course, we were sporting our finest denims.  And we made sure to get fresh weaves because we know nothing goes better with denim than some real luxurious hair. We had such a good time we think that we might make the Canadian Tuxedo our new office attire.
