Yeah, 3x1 is just quality, quality denim.

In this broad spectrum of denim that s out there right now

I feel like they re right in the middle,

they re the perfect neutral jean.

They re not baggy, they re not skinny, they re not straight,

they re not overwashed, they re not too stretchy,

they re not too stiff, or too raw.

They tap into, like, the classicness that a Levi s 501 has

because they don t clock a trend, they just fit really well

and they re made of the best denim around.

My look, it sorta started with the jean

and the simplicity of the jean.

From there I wanted to give them a bit of a cuff.

I ve been rolling my jeans, lately.

And from the cuff came the motorcycle boot and then came

the jacket and all of a sudden I started to feel like maybe

I was channeling Marlon Brando in The Wild One,

where he s the leader of this incredible gang called

the Black Rebels Motorcycle Club.

It s kind of tough and it feels very classic to me.

It, also, is exactly what I really wear, I really wear jeans

with simple tops and a jacket.
