By now you know that when it comes to denim, I leave no stone unturned. I mentioned needing to update my Top 5 Denim post (one of the first blog posts I ever wrote for In Spades!), but before I do, I wanted to dedicate a post to Moussy Vintage.
This is a brand I’ve been stalking for years but never pulled the trigger until recently.
The Details
Moussy Vintage is premium Japanese denim. If you’re not aware, there are two parties that can claim winner when it comes to the history and expert, artisanal craft of creating denim. Levi Strauss. And the Japanese.
If you’re a diehard denim lover, I highly recommend at least trying this brand on. They are like the rarest, coolest vintage Levi’s straight out of the gate. Their washes are unparalleled. Literally EVERY SINGLE WASH is gorgeous – no fake looking or mediocre washes here.
This Tokyo-based label was pretty hard to find until about 5 years ago. They are now carried at major retailers and have a brick and mortar store in Soho.
The tough part about these jeans are 1) they’re expensive (but sales do exist!) and 2) they create dozens of styles and it’s really difficult to know how they’ll fit unless you try them on.
Sizing
A Moussy Vintage expert will tell you to go with the smallest size you can because the majority of their styles are 100% cotton and are made to mold to your body.
My take? I agree, but if you prefer a more comfort fit, size up one size. I am wearing a size 26 (normally a 25 or 26 in jeans).
My Uniform
The more time that passes in the pandemic, the more I realize my appreciation for jeans. Okay, I just read that sentence back to myself and laughed. I know I’m denim obsessed. But if you told me I had to narrow my closet down to 10 pieces, jeans would fill at least 2 of those slots.
A lot of people ask me what items are truly worth investing in. Denim is absolutely at the top of my list. Jeans get worn A TON. They have the ability to make you look amazing or just okay. They’re a workhorse item and strike the balance between fashion and function more than any other item in your closet.
So if you’re looking for a pair of superior quality jeans that only get better over time, check out Moussy Vintage.
