Rogue Territory's Standard Issue Jeans



Rogue Territory is a LA Based Denim manufacturer who wants to represent modern interpretation of the garments that were produced during the industrial age of the 20th century. Their workshop is a tribute to American Manufacturers of the early 20th century, when clothing was built to last and attentian was placed not only on the quality of the materials, bbut also on the construction of the garment.

I'm always a fan of their Standard Issue Jeans. Comes with a high rise and a relaxed fit leg makes it must be comfortable to wear. Rogue Territory's Standard Issue jeans uses 14oz Sanforized Japanese denim from nihon mills from Okayama prefecture with 100% pure indigo dye.

Other than that, here is what makes this pair of Standar Issue jeans special :
-Selvage on fly
-Selvage on coin pocket
-Branded buttons and rivets
-Hidden pen pocket in right back pocket
-Hand silk-screened pocket bag
-Hand branded leather patch
-Single needle continuous stitch on waistband
-Belt loops sewn into the waistband
-Handmade in downtown Los Angeles.





And remember, Rogue Territory's Denims are made to order.

Bayu Risa - Love Song


This song has been repeatedly played in my music player since couple weeks ago. The song is called "Love Song" by Bayu Risa. After previously known as a member of Pasto, on October 2010 Bayu Risa will release his debut solo album under the Label Sinjitos Studio. Sinjitos is known for their artists such as Santamonica, Monkey to Millionaire, etc. And as you can see, the result is extremely good electro sound in my opinion.

Bayu Risa's upcoming album is surely on my list of the most anticipated album in 2010. News from Sinjitos, On one of the track from the album, Bayu Risa will do a collaboration with Rayi Putra of RAN (who recently worked with Electronic Groove).
