Freenote Cloth Portola Taper Jeans in 14.25oz. Yoshiwa Mills Black x Grey Selvedge Denim

The last time I saw Brand New in concert, I was reminded how much black garments played into the whole aesthetic and feel of the music. Every other concertgoer there was donning a dark fit befitting of the nostalgic angst that they paid to bathe in. If you don’t want to be the black sheep (white sheep?) at an emo concert, then you ought to get something reflective of the atmosphere.

I have no idea what kind of music the dudes at Freenote Cloth listen to (Ethiopian jazz?), but one of their latest offerings is their Portola Taper fit jean in Raw 14.25oz. Black Grey Japanese Denim. The denim is a healthy 14.25oz. with a black warp and a grey weft. Expect some rockstar-style fades with this pair. De rigueur Freenote details include a double waistband, Red Wing buffalo leather patch, and felled inseams, among other well-considered elements.

You can buy yourself a pair for $250 at Freenote’s website. Then, go to a sad boy music concert. Crowd surfing in a sea of crying Heddels editors emo kids should help get those fades going.
