Canadian Tuxedo by The Urban Gentleman and Meltin Pot

The Urban Gent has teamed up with Italian denim label Meltin Pot to style some fall denim looks, including this dapper Canadian Tuxedo they’ve dubbed the “Urban Cowboy.”


Spotted: Canadian Tuxedo on the streets of LA

Stopped at a light on La Brea and Santa Monica, I saw this girl waiting for a bus after what appears to be a trip to Urban Outfitters. She was wearing a multi-patch denim shirt and mustardy tan jeans, a definite upgrade to the tranny hookers I usually spot in that neck of the woods. 20111204-173457.jpg

I had the pleasure of meeting Taiwo, one half of the twin duo Christian Rich, last night while in line for the bathroom at The Tasting Kitchen on Abbot Kinney in Venice, Calif. Taiwo is seen here in Levi’s denim jacket and jeans, Diamond Supply Co. shirt , Fly Society hoodie and some dope Air Jordan 3s. Both dinner and denim were great.


A double, Double Denim spotting at Stauf’s in Columbus, Ohio!

My hometown represents! Another day, another photo sent my way from Columbus, Ohio. This time from Matt Barnes of the incomparable Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. In his email, Matt says,

“I think Columbus is vying to take the moniker away from Canada.  It should be called the Columbus tuxedo or the Columbuxedo!  I was getting coffee at Stauf’s (a Columbus staple for the young and awesome) this afternoon when I came across these two hip fellas.  My senses must have been piqued after seeing Maren Roth‘s post on FB linking to your ever-so rad site this morning.”

We love the idea and Matt, who rocks double denim at least once a week, earning him a spot on this site before. Thanks, Matt! Just one question: When did Rufus Wainwright move to the Bus?


Spotted: Canadian Tuxedo in Columbus, Ohio!

Maren Roth has sent me yet another picture of her pal, Kevin Ryan, whom she has proclaimed the “King of the Columbus Canadian Tuxedo.” As founder of  Rowe, the top-drawer, tony boutique in the Capital City, we’re gonna take her word for it.

Kevin is pictured here at The Social in a Patrik Ervell shirt, Levi’s Made & Crafted jacket, and Naked & Famous jeans.


Spotted: Edina Monsoon in a Canadian Tuxedo

Attention Ab Fab fans! Christmas – and possibly Christian (LaCroix that is) – come early! Break out the Boli Stoli, dahhhling, because the BBC will be airing an Absolutely Fabulous Christmas Special. Here is a clip from the upcoming show featuring Eddie (Jennifer Saunders) working the double denim (x6) look. I literally feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. CAN NOT WAIT!


I’ve been denimed.

I’ve heard of (and participated in) toilet papering, but deniming? Was just out with my dog to find the tree in front of my building draped in denim. What does it mean????
