Not For Tourists

2007-11-07T13:32:00.000-08:00

We made it into the first Not For Tourists Seattle guide!

According to their website (www.notfortourists.com), Not For Tourists "is a growing series of guides to major cities. The philosophy is simple: people need to use the cities they live in, commute into, or travel to effectively. They need to use their city’s transportation systems; its governmental infrastructure; its shops, restaurants, and nightspots—and they need all of this information while they’re on the move in a format that’s more accessible than the Yellow Pages, more informative than Zagat’s, and more useful than any other tourist’s guide out there today."

Denim Care 101

2007-09-22T14:51:00.000-07:00

This is for all of you who thought I was crazy when I told you NOT to put your jeans in the washer or dryer to get them clean and perfectly worn in...

This month's GQ Magazine has a few tips from Levi's designer, Carl Chiara on how to achieve that perfectly aged look on even your newest jeans:

1. Wear your jeans frequently...and really wear them!

2. Hold out as long as possble before washing. If they start to smell,

"put fabric softner sheets in the pockets at night to freshen them up".

3. Avoid the washing machine. To clean them, soak them in cold water

with a small amount of white vinegar...and then hang them to dry.

We're Back!

2007-08-31T15:50:00.001-07:00

A lot of you have been wondering (and asking) exactly what we do in Vegas when we go for "work" . . . so here it is.

Twice a year, we venture to Sin City to attend the largest fashion trade show in the country, which is made up of 4 smaller shows called Magic, Project, Pool, and United. We then spend 3 long days looking at racks upon racks of clothing sorting through thousands of brands from the US and abroad to find the most amazing threads for you, our customers.

Then, in a few months, look for the new goods to hit our store :)

: : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Here are a few pics of the shows to let you know what it's like:

... of course there is a little time for fun :)
