We have to hand it to Wrangler for this one: stuntmen make pretty good models. The next time we need an outfit for a fiery plummet into a circus net, we’ll know where to turn.

“Wrangler”
Japan is so culturally voracious, it takes most lines a while to incorporate some of their homegrown influences. Luckily, it looks like the fine folks at N. Hoolywood are up to the task.
This one’s another Wrangler collab, but now they bring genuine East Asian flavor to the cowboy staple, via those imprinted crossbars running up and down the central placket. It’s straight out of a traditional Japanese farmer jacket, but it couldn’t work better in denim.
The only problem? So far it’s only sold in Japan, and we bet it’s a whole lot more appealing to our side of the Pacific.

The denim shirt may seem a little behind-the-curve these days, but we think it’s ripe for a comeback—especially given the trend pieces we see in the paper.
This one comes from Wrangler, with a little help from N.Hoolywood. It looks like it paid off. The stitching on the front pockets, combined with the high shoulder patches and smooth wash make this the best western shirt we’ve seen in some time.
Also, although you can’t see it in the picture, the cuffs are held together by no less than four different snap-buttons. No wonder the Selectism folks are so excited. So are we.

Like ideas, brands can come from anywhere. All you need is an advertising budget, a storefront and a dream.
It turns out JC Penney has all three. They’re starting up their largest product line ever, American Living, with an ad push unlike anything a department store brand has ever seen.
The line is designed by Ralph Lauren, but the ads are the real show»
