Crate Denim
The inside scoop:
Co-founder and designer Chad Hilton (along with his partners Jason Fischer and Nate White) work tirelessly on Crate Denim in LA's Toy Factory Lofts. Also in the building are Adriano Goldschmied, Stefano Aldighieri (former creative director for 7 for All Mankind) and Rohan Marley (son of Bob Marley).
What’s in a name:
Drop by the Secret Service in LA and ask 'em. (Hint: The deadstock denim they use was shipped to them in crates).
Why we carry it:
The material for Crate Denim is sourced from "deadstock" denim, made decades ago for brands such as Levi Strauss, Wrangler and Lee. Hilton tries to exclusively use fabric from pre-1979 (the year he was born) so that the jeans are older than he.
