Kent Denim Spring/Summer 2011

For spring/summer 2011, Kent Denim has prepared a casual collection of denim shorts and pants with accompanying tops for a cool, laidback look.

Plaid shirts span a range of colors, sporting contrasting collars and cuffs and fun ways of buttoning up like Norman Rockwell, Robert Frost, and Astros.

For the more casual guy, black enzyme-wash hoodies and tanks with gold logos or basic cotton tees complete the collection.

What’s great about the jeans is that they don’t wear out fast. Choose from Japanese Kuroki denim in assorted vintage washes, raw cone white oak denim in your choice of fit: boot cut fits, relaxed fits, and slim leg fits.

Kent Denim: Open for Business Online!

Kent Denim has just launched its new website, new gallery, and official Kent Denim online store. The Kent Denim Club, as it’s called, offers everyone in the United States the entire Kent Denim Collection. With free shipping on all orders, getting your new favorite pair of jeans couldn’t be easier.

“It is a very exciting venture for us at Kent Denim, now we can offer all the products that are featured on the runway and photo shoots without being confined to our retail locations.”

Check out the updated gallery on the web page, and of course check out the Kent Denim Club. More items will be added to the club as the new collection begins to be released.

One of our exciting new denim styles is our first vintage wash. Currently offered in our Japanese Kuroki Denim, it has the great details of a pair of jeans one would have had for years. More washes are in development for the upcoming spring summer collection.

Have a peek at the entire collection here.

Kent Denim—Hot out of the Oven! 1 Slice or 2?

I love creativity and new concepts stores! It’s great to see young men and women step out of the box, unless—well—it’s in a pizza box!

US designer, Noah Landis, has just innovated the online shopping experience for his label—Kent Denim.

Now when you order your new pair of Kent jeans, tee, and/or any amazing belt with a vintage buckle, your purchase will be delivered in—yes!—a pizza box.

Shipped from Frankie’s Place, the Kent collection is multi-thematic and lots of fun.

As expected, Frankie’s motto is “Everything is better in a pizza box!”

My favorite is the Margherita. Hm! Maybe Noah design one in honor of me?!

Kent Denim—Riding High in 2011

Today, I am happy to bring to you the latest in Kent Denim by designer Noah Landis, released exclusively to Men’s Fashion by Francesco for first posting.

In the designer’s words, “spring/summer 2011 has been all about bike messengers for Kent Denim’s new look and feel,” which, by the way, was showcased before the big name brands. Way to go, Noah, you are riding with the big guys!

About the outfit, first, we have the Kent Denim cheetah cycling hat. Then, model Johann Zaroli is sporting a contrasting color block button-up shirt.

The biker look culminates in grey Japanese denim with Soma slim leg styling and accented with a Kent Denim vintage belt buckle.

Kent Denim, Designed with Love

Last week I received an email from Kent Denim, which was promoting the 2009 summer collection, featuring nautical flag-inspired graphic tops; jean Bermuda shorts; and new jean styles, washes, and colors.

Intrigued and curious about the designer behind this relatively new label, I immediately clicked “reply” and typed out a few general questions. What followed was an email from designer and founder of Kent Denim, Noah Landis, who wrote with unparalleled passion about his work.

Native of San Francisco where he attended the Academy of Art University, Noah has always loved jeans! This deep-seated love soon led Noah to start making custom denim for clients, and from scratch!

No label, no name—just a young man passionate about pattern making, sewing, dyeing, and washing superb-fitting jeans with fine subtle details!

Employed by one of those large chains specializing in jeans, Noah felt that his creative spirit was being stifled by the monotony and routine of everyday chores. So, in the fall of 2008, his love for jeans led Noah to embark on a new venture: Kent Denim.

Passion found new boldness, which helped Noah look at his fears straight on and set out to find reputable sources for premium materials and first rate manufacturing. “As a designer,” writes Noah, “quality plays the biggest part for and in menswear; especially the quality of material is by far the most important.”

Rather than sacrifice quality, Noah would prefer to sell less in volume; hence, all products are produced in the USA, providing designer value at reasonable prices. Jeans retailing at $160, Noah comments:

“Even that is pretty low for designer jeans; however, there is nothing more deceiving than paying a lot of money for clothing and finding the out on the tag that it is made in China. Especially in today’s market, the consumer knows better than to pay for overpriced mass produced ‘common luxury’.”

The goal of Kent Denim—again in Noah’s own words—is “to stay authentic and create garments that men don’t just wear but look forward to wearing.”

Good luck to you, Noah, in your first trade show next month!
