This month's In Style Magazine features some denim flats for the summer. Ballerina flats have been all the rage and these add something a little special to the style. We always love to highlight denim accessories, but it can be difficult to match them with an outfit. Usually, it forces us to choose between showing off our denim trousers or sporting our fabulous denim alt-piece. Oh, the dilemma!

British denim label, Luke 1977, is breaking out with some interesting features for menswear. The jeans are made from high quality Japanese denim and some of the styles feature a leather coin pocket. Not quite bespoke, but the small details definitely add a high-class attitude to a casual brand. According to their press release, this brand is already being worn by indie royality like Arctic Monkey and The Kaiser Chief.
With all of the hot new sneaker trends out there, of course, denim is making an impact. Supra has created a Skylow style with a classic, slim look. This cool kick comes with a stash pocket and wax laces. Skateboard not required.

AG has introduced a revolutionary new wash technique that produces an authentic vintage look. The AG-ed process produces true 3-dimensional creases on the jeans, hand sanding and whiskering covering the snug silhouette. Another perk is that each jean i

One of our favorite Japanese Denim companies, Edwin, has announced the launch of a new collection for fall. This small collection is vintage inspired and will include 5 styles for men and 3 for women, with various unique finishes, like stain washes and distressed denim. Edwin is famous for their innovative vision when it comes to denim and we hope that this is the beginning of many more capsule collections from their designers. Check it out online, especially if you aren't in Europe - the only place to find these jeans at retail...for now.

We reported earlier on the iconic Converse celebrating its 100th anniversary, but now we have something of a similar breed to get happy feet. Levi's has collected jeans that have been worn, recycled the material and reconstructed the denim into something unique: a series of denim sneakers. These shoes are one of a kind, since the pieces being used are all different sections of denim pants and each shoe is handmade so each sneaker will have a different contruction. These reincarnations of your favorite 501s will be hard to find since they will be limited to 300 pairs.

front loads and each bottle cleans and

Chambray is one of our favorite ways to bring a denim look into a wardrobe, especially in spring, but sometimes it can make a guy look too much like a good ol' boy. Let Denim Hunt help. In the March issue of Details, there is an awesome Denim Guide for men. Carefully constructed and easy to follow, they offer several examples of how to dress-up the traditionally western chambray shirt. Our favorite idea is to simply replace that tired old blue oxford shirt, throw on a blazer and be out the door in style, minus Mr. Ed.
Since the debut in 2006, Proportion of Blu has been one of our favorite denim brands. With a unique mathematical concept behind the design, all parts and proportions are properly aligned, which makes our bottoms proportionally pretty. Designer’s Terrell Wick and Richard Atkins were inspired by The Golden Ratio- Euclid’s philosophy in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the proportion to be aesthetically pleasing. Here is a preview of this season’s new denim for men and women, which features a resin press for a super sleek finish.
We are about to tease you with something really cool...Levi's has debuted a new collaboration with graphic designer and illustrator Kenny Wong. The jeans have an interesting ripple-like effect from their wash and original compass-inspired prints on the front, copper rivets and a black satin logo. The catch? Well, these 523 beauties are a limited edition and only to be sold in Taiwan. We still approve!
While we're still recovering from some 4th of July festivities, we decided to take the guess work out of shopping the web. Below find our top denim buys for the guys.

One of our favorite people (and designer of this site,) David Singer, gave us some insight as to his favorite pair of jeans by G-Star.
Denim Hunt: David, what brand are your favorite jeans?
David Singer: G-Star, definitely.
DH: What is it that makes them so great for you? The fit? the wash?
DS: Well, I'm narrow with slight hips and no butt, so I need something that makes me look slender but without looking like a chicken.
DH: We get what you're saying.
DS: They have a slim, straight cut which works perfectly for me.
DH: Any last plugs for your favorite jeans?
DS: Sure thing--They have great washes...when they don't go overboard.
