New denim is the item you pick up with the expectation that you’ll be wearing it on the regular. For this reason, it’s worth your time to do some research and get the goods you really want, especially for an item you’re willing to drop a bit more cash on.
When picking up new denim shirts and pants, we recommend adding into the mix a few key products that are guaranteed to age well alongside those quality indigo blues. You know, essential accessories, like your wallet, belts and shoes. Full disclosure, the best of these tend to be made of natural leather.
Also: Jeans Reinvented With Style & Substance
Here’s why: natural leather starts off in a very pure form, the color of almost a pale pink. But wear these items day to day, and as oils and consistent wear impact the material, it will age like you won’t believe.
