5EP x Styleforum Collaboration Denim

When Godmother, co-founder of premium denim label 5EP, learned about the Styleforum message boards from a member/customer, her interest was piqued and shortly after, she was signed up and posting. What she found was a diverse collection of (mostly) males discussing a broad range of topics from clothing trends and design to more practical subjects such as pricing or laundering techniques. The ball was set in motion, and soon moderator LA Guy and Denimbar owner Mauro found themselves corresponding with Godmother on a potential special edition collaboration between 5EP and Styleforum. Released this week, as a culmination of over 7 months of work, with leadership and final approval from the aforementioned trio, plus dozens of pages of feedback from forum members: a straight leg jean with a mid-low rise cut from raw Japanese selvage. The denim is a slim cut, not super skinny, so you’ll want to get your true size for a slim fit or size up one if you don’t want to deal with the hassles of not breathing as you break in your pair. Limited to just 200 pairs, they will be available from Styleforum, Denimbar, Oak, and Hollywood Trading Company. If you’ve grown out of your True Religions and Diesel jeans and are ready to move up a tier in the world of premium denim, you might want to give any of these locations a call, or better yet, visit them and try on a pair.
