Nudie Jeans have unveiled a limited edition of their Slim Jim style – ‘Post Recycle Dry’, a US exclusive for Barneys NYC and Barneys.com. The fabric is produced in fabric recycled from old worn Nudie Jeans denim. A processing technology has been developed where old denim is cut, milled down to a pulp, and then blended with virgin organic cotton to generate a new fabric. The slubby denim has a soft feel and an exceptional fit in the form of Nudie’s straight-fit design. Other details include zip fly closure, tonal stitching throughout, and organic trims.

Only 500 jeans have been produced worldwide in this fabric, with each style uniquely customized with a numbered Limited Edition pocket lining. Look for these beauties through Barneys for $215.

Red Wing Heritage has released the 4563 Boot exclusively for Nordstrom, The 8-inch round toe work boot was first introduced in 1919, providing the comfort of an oxford with the durability of a work boot. “The benefit of the new style was the round toe design; achieved by eliminating a seam by using one larger piece of leather versus the previous practice of sewing together two smaller leather pieces.” The end result was a more durable boot and one that looks great as well. It features a 6-inch round-toe build and features a self-cleaning crepe sole with Goodyear welt construction.

Look for these at select Nordstrom locations across the United States including The Grove in Los Angeles, Cherry Creek in Colorado, King of Prussia outside of Philadelphia and Garden State Plaza which is the closest Nordstrom with the 4563 Boot outside of New York City.

CREEP by Hiroshi Awai is one of the industry’s most consistent labels. We’ve covered it numerous times over the past few seasons and think Mr. Awai is doing an exceptional job with the label. The designs are creative yet still very wearable and the fit is just right. For Spring 2012, we worked with CREEP to put together a look at this week’s PROJECT show. The result was tremendous — Floral print blazer with a lightweight button down in an orange shell along with white linen pants. Look for more shots from the Toronto-based designer’s Spring 2012 in the near future.

SS11 gear is beginning to roll into stockists worldwide and End Clothing just got a hold of this Nigel Cabourn piece which happens to be exclusively available at the UK retailer. The Aircraft Jacket draws influence from aviation design, made to withstand the elements while providing maximum comfort. “This End Hunting Co. exclusive is a novel reworking of this brilliant jacket. Made from beeswaxed coated cotton based on classic English shirting, making for a jacket that is durable and striking.”

The jacket is a perfect Spring/Summer jacket as it’s lightweight but fully waterproof. The Aircraft Jacket is available exclusively through End Clothing in four different finishes — Blue Oxford, Black Oxford, Blue Gingham Check, and Blue Windowpane Check. This will definitely be a rare find so once it’s gone, folks, it’s gone.

Road to (capsule) is a Por Homme exclusive, made possible by the good folks behind the (capsule) tradeshow, and of course, the person(s) being interviewed. We ask each designer five questions that help to give us — as fans, readers, observers, whatever — a better understanding of what makes these gifted individuals tick. The questions are fairly uniform, but as you’ll see, the answers are far from that. The (capsule) show invades New York July 19th and 20th, giving viewers first looks at Spring/Summer 2011 collections from the industry’s most reputable men’s labels.

We continue on the Road to (capsule) with a sitdown with Penfield CEO Jamie Barshall. 2010 is a huge year for Penfield, as the Massachusetts-based label is celebrating its 35-year anniversary. We’ve highlighted several Penfield products in the past, most recently their Hudson Wax Cloth jackets. Hit the jump to see what New England’s finest garment maker is up to as it gets set for (capsule) New York. (more…)

Beyond being one of New York’s most-gifted individuals, Jeff’s also a class act and one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Well let’s get to it, shall we? Hit the jump.  (more…)

So that didn’t take long. A friend of ours already got his HTC myTouch 3G, T-Mobile’s second Google Android phone. There’s not much to say but he even went ahead and did a head to head comparison with the BB 8900 for us. Enjoy all the images after the jump.  (more…)

Sources close to AT&T are telling us that the Samsung Rugby that we unboxed last week is set to release on Monday, September 15th.  No word if the phone will come in the heavy-duty toolbox we showed off, but for the price, it’s still a pretty good deal.  MSRP is somewhere in the $300-$400 range, but with a two-year contract, you can pick one up for $129.  Nope, that’s the right price.

If you’re already a business customer, then you should contact your account rep for an even better deal.  These numbers have not yet been confirmed, but we like to think our sources are pretty good.

If you missed the unboxing ceremonies, then check that out HERE.  Is this phone up your alley?  Let us know!

In a few weeks, Samsung will be releasing the SGH-a837, dubbed the “Rugby,” a phone that brings together advanced technology and toughness, ideal for those rugged work environments that require both.  We’ve got our hands on one (don’t ask how, just say thank you), and we’re going to spill the beans.

The phone’s got a durable exterior that’s damage resistant, and has Push To Talk Technology and a large speaker.  Don’t think that’s good enough?  Well, the Rugby’s also certified to Military Standard MIL-STD-810F for dust, shock, vibration, rain, humidity, solar radiation, altitude and temperature extremes.

On the inside, AT&T and Samsung have worked together to make sure the Rugby has the capabilities to keep its users from missing a beat.  Its got 3G, AT&T Navigator, Mobile Email, and MEdia Net.  They’ve also made sure that there shouldn’t be any barrier between a personal phone and a work phone.  The Rugby comes with Video Share, Cellular Video, AT&T mobile Music, a 1.3 megapixel Camera, Text messaging, as well as Instant Messaging.

The gallery’s below so be sure to check out the close-ups.  This phone came in a special Samsung toolbox, especially for AT&T B2B employees, so don’t think that this will be the packaging for consumers when the phone hits the market.
