Though not set for primetime just yet, we wanted to give you all a heads up on the Fjällräven Den that’s set to open this coming Friday, January 7th. The Den is housed inside the Swedish brand’s Mott St. location and will feature special pricing on many of the brand’s durable outdoor gear. We don’t really push deals here often but then again this isn’t your ordinary deal. Look for 30% to 50% off everything from fleeces and ski wear to pants, shirts and winter jackets.

The Fjällräven Den will be located at 262 Mott St. and will be open from January 7th to the 30th between the hours of noon and 6pm daily.

The Local Firm opened the doors to their flagship store in Stockholm last week and the shop is worth checking out. Designers Axel Nyhage and Richard Hutchinson last worked together at Acne but decided to start their own men and women’s collection, The Local Firm. We last caught the label showing off their collection a few months back at (capsule) and were really impressed.

The Local Firm is available at Dear Fieldbinder in Brooklyn and P45 in Chicago and will be available at Urban Outfitters through “Around The World” this February.

Tokyo’s Aoyama neighborhood is home to the Levi‘s Vintage Clothing store, a shop that’s filled with some great product and aesthetically, it’s probably one of the most appealing shops we’ve seen in quite sometime. Michael from ACL informs us it’s also one of the few spots in the world that you can grab all eight archival variations of the Levi’s 501. The LVC collection is a premium line with some great Made in the USA product. There’s alot that goes into crafting this really fine tuned brand and this shop embodies this and much more.

This past week, Gant cut the ribbon and opened the doors to its first-ever Gant Campus Store in New Haven, CT. We’ve been hearing about it for quite sometime now but glad to see those preppy Yale students don’t have to wait until after Thanksgiving break to check it out. The aesthetics of the shop blend well with the surrounding campus and the building itself is pretty epic as well. It was built back in 1910 as Langrock Fine Clothes, a men’s department store.

The shop carries curated collections of Gant, Gant Rugger, Gant by Michael Bastian, and a resurrected Yale Co-Op branded shirt collection that will be available March 1st, online and in-store. The Co-Op shirts recreated what the iconic brand used to manufacture for Yale’s famous bookstore during the 60s and the new Campus Store actually features a glass case as you enter that showcases vintage Yale Co-Op shirts and plenty of other historic Gant imagery.

As you’ll see from the shots after the jump, the store on the inside is really well-designed and blends well with the historic town’s overall feel and culture. You’ll notice some great touches like the vintage lighting and a chalkboard turned dressing room mirror. All the furniture and casements are locally sourced antiques, which really shows the time and dedication Gant put into making this shop unique and special.

All-in-all, it’s going to be a sick lineup. There are brands here that we seldom get an opportunity to see in person, even in New York City, so we’re pretty excited.

Last week, we had the opportunity to attend the official opening of Levi’s concept store in New York City’s Meatpacking District. It’s got all the markings of a classic Levi’s shop but with some much welcomed enhancements. The Concept Store offers a wide range of services including an on-site tailor for custom denim doctor-ing and repairs. Furthermore, the stock in this shop includes some limited edition items including the newly-unveiled collaboration with Pendleton as well as the Levi’s Vintage Clothing line which packs plenty of re-issues, some dating as far back as 1890.
