Jesse Thorn of Put This On, an online style guide for people who want to dress a bit more sophisticated, just posted their first video (hopefully of many more) showcasing fine clothing designers and tips on how to dress well. Their first episode (embedded above) talks about jeans and the unique character they develop as you wear them more and more.
Jesse visited California’s Rising Sun & Co. to talk to its owner about what makes a good pair of jeans and how you should take care of it once you’ve found the perfect pair.
All in all, a wonderful video that I hope will come out more regularly. Watch it!
