Fashion Monday 3.12.2012 - Long time no see, Martin




Martin is a friend with a good taste for almost everything. Well, we have to point out that we did not see each other for a long time. We did not drink beer together even longer. We all hope it's going to change.. Another hope for us is to keep trying to issue Fashion Mondays more frequently (a good excuse is that in November there is no good light outdoor..).


Amazing Indigofera Gotham Jacket, inspired by very british Donkey Jacket. Wool & soft leather.

Even Martin was more than surprised how comfortable the brand new Grenson Fred boots could be.
In 1929 the said in Oxford Dictionary about this type of jacket: one with leather shoulders and back. We like the collar too.
Over-sized brogue detailing is typical for Grenson. Mention also robust Commando sole. Goes well with slim fit Indigofera jeans.
Coated rivet belt will be not continued. Last pieces on stock.

Front part of this vest is made of japanese selvage flannel colored with indigo. It will fade like your jeans do. 
Martin did not stop by alone but with his Fanda. BTW: beer bottle was empty before we started to shoot.
It is a bit shame that human population almost forget to wear vests. With slim jeans it looks awesome.
Who would resist to try on this tee? Or is it just us, Czechs?

Fashion Monday 22.10.12. - The director


Today we had a very special guest. Not for the first time here in our store because Tomas Lunak is sophisticated customer for a couple of months. What is maybe a bit more interesting is the fact that he is a director of truly original Alois Nebel movie. It is definitely worth to be seen!

We are really happy that he wears the stuff from Denim Heads everywhere around the globe. And, obviously it makes us really proud that he came today on his bicycle for a today's shooting of (now bi-weekly) Fashion Monday. Thank you very much, Tomas!

Barbour Beacon Heritage Field jacket made from unique coated cotton distressed fabric is military inspired but we can call it elegant without any doubts.

Midori notebook in the back pocket as we like it! Quilted jackets are typical (like waxed cotton) for Barbour.

Big E Levi's 501 from 1954.

No selvage can be seen but it is there. Black Iron Range is one of the classic Red Wings.

Armor Lux wool striped sweater and this jacket is a nice solution for a bad weather not only in the city.

Tartan lining is so typical for Barbour jackets.

100% pure new wool and buttons on the left shoulder, signs of typical Breton sweater

We think that this tee is the best from recent Levi's Vintage Clothing collection. Wondering why?

A map of the Gypsy Tour from 1954. The same year like the type of 501's Tomas is wearing.

We received today a new batch of Sunpocket shades not with printed but embossed logo and a new shape.

We will check how his Levi's will look next time he'll stop by..

Barbour Beacon Heritage Cycling jacket is very practical yet undoubtedly stylish.

Front door of our store. Nice place to hang out for many friends already. Thank you all.
You really can look cool cycling around Prague. Not so common, though. We keep trying to change it.
Thanks for visit, TomÔŔi!

Levi's Vintage Clothing - trička a koŔile


Při prvnĆ­m výročƭ otevřenĆ­ Concept Qubus x Denim Heads na VĆ”s kromě výtečnĆ© kapely Reverend Elvis and The Undead Syncopators čekaly takĆ© džíny z kolekce Levi's Vintage Clothing. Jednalo se výhradně o "pětsetjedničky" v nesepranĆ©m stavu a zcela oprĆ”vněně o ně byl mezi VĆ”mi zĆ”jem. Proto jsme se rozhodli obnovit skladovĆ© zĆ”soby vÅ”ech těchto džín a vybrali jsme takĆ© několik kouskÅÆ z jinak velmi rozsĆ”hlĆ© kolekce LVC pro tuto sezónu.

CertifikĆ”t na zadnĆ­ kapse pětsetjedniček z roku 1966.


CelĆ” produkce Levi's Vintage Clothing je založena na faktu, že každý výrobek je přesnou kopiĆ­ svĆ©ho vzoru z minulosti. U Levi's Vintage Clothing majĆ­ obrovský archĆ­v, takže je z čeho čerpat. Pro tuto sezónu jsou jednĆ­m z tĆ©mat motorkÔři z obdobĆ­ od konce 40.let do poÄĆ”tku let 60.tých. Nepopiratelným vzorem pro tisĆ­ce mladĆ­ku tĆ© doby byl Marlon Brando po svĆ©m hereckĆ©m výkonu ve filmu Wild One (psali jsme o něm např.zde). K ohrnutým džínĆ”m Levi's 501 patřila kromě kožených bund a vysokých bot i jednoduchĆ” bavlněnĆ” trička, kterĆ” v tĆ© době nebyla zdaleka tak běžnĆ” na každodennĆ­ noÅ”enĆ­ jak je tomu dnes. Trika se pak vylepÅ”ovaly rÅÆznými tematickými vzory a par takto autentických triček mĆ”me nynĆ­ v nabĆ­dce i my. Jsou propracovĆ”na do nejmenŔích detailÅÆ včetně cedulek, typu seÅ”itĆ­ a "nemodernĆ­ch" barev použitých na design.

NĆ”pis je odkazem na tradici 50.let, kdy dĆ”val kněz požehnĆ”nĆ­ motorkÔřům před plĆ”novanou dlouhou a tĆ©měř vždy strastiplnou cestu.

Bohužel se nĆ”m (zatĆ­m) nepodařilo zjistit, jaký borec jezdil s tĆ­mto čƭslem (pozn. jednĆ” se o jinĆ© tričko, než "požehnanĆ©" výŔe zmĆ­něnĆ©.

Annual Gypsy Tour je amatĆ©rský zĆ”vod motocyklÅÆ s tradicĆ­ od roku 1917. NĆ”zev Gypsy je odkazem k nutnosti urazit velkĆ© vzdĆ”lenosti cestou na zĆ”vod (sraz). MotorkÔři spali cestou ve stanech okolo ohniŔń, což v tĆ© době kromě Hollywoodu byla domĆ©na prĆ”ve kočujĆ­cĆ­ch cikĆ”nÅÆ.
Have fun - see ya at finish, v roce 1954 byl zĆ”vod na 100 mil jistě velkou Å”vandou.
MateriĆ”l, design i přiÅ”itĆ­ cedulky je poplatnĆ© době svĆ©ho vzoru.
Pro změnu poÄĆ”tkem 70.let je inspirovĆ”no toto baseballovĆ© triko s polodlouhým rukĆ”vem (raglĆ”n),  ovÅ”em trochu vylepÅ”enĆ© je o vyÅ”islý design na hrudi.

Cedulka přesně podle svĆ© historickĆ© předlohy.
PoÄĆ”tkem 60.let vylepÅ”ili u Levi'su jednoduchĆ© bĆ­le triko duhovým efektem. BarevnĆ© kombinace  se měnĆ­ v každĆ© LVC kolekci. AktuĆ”lnĆ­ se nazývĆ” (bÅÆhvĆ­proč) Pirate Black.

Kapsička na hrudi, dnes ne Ćŗplně obvyklĆ” věc.
VÅ”echna trička i džíny můžete vidět a vyzkouÅ”et v naÅ”em obchodě Concept Qubus x Denim Heads v RĆ”movĆ© 3 nebo v e-shopu.

Jediným zĆ”stupcem koÅ”il v aktuĆ”lnĆ­ kolekci, kterĆ©ho jsme zvolili je koÅ”ile Shorthorn Shirt Blanket Stripe. Je zajĆ­mavĆ” tĆ­m, že v padesĆ”tých letech byla větÅ”ina flanelových koÅ”il kostkovaných a tato je pruhovanĆ”. DÅÆvodem bylo použitĆ­ stejnĆ©ho designu (i materiĆ”lu), jaký se používal např. pro podŔívky do džínových bund. V naŔí nabĆ­dce je např. parĆ”dnĆ­ vestička Floyd Vest z novĆ© kolekce Å”vĆ©dských denimových bohÅÆ Indigofera Prima Jeans, kterĆ” ma podŔívku řeÅ”enou podobným materiĆ”lem (Indigofera používĆ” nekompromisně jen nejlepŔí materiĆ”l z Japonska).

Považujeme to za velmi zdařilou barevnou kombinaci
Poctivě odvedenĆ” prĆ”ce, to se v dneÅ”nĆ­ době začƭnĆ” vyplĆ”cet.

Fashion Monday 24.9.12 - a Mongolia specialist


Vlada is our long-time friend, he was one of the first models in our Fashion Mondays last season. Now he was very welcome in our store and we are very happy to have him here. Unfortunately he was not wearing his well worn-in Indigofera Clint jeans nor his beaten Edwins. Next time maybe..
Except some sartorialist interests he is a good food lover, a proud father, a traveller and Mongolia specialist.

Part 1.

Double denim by Vlad
Hidden Unionticket inside of the jacket. Check also red selvage line.

Rusty buttons on this awesome denim jacket and rugged belt

Nice leather and selvage detail

Jacket looks a bit stiff when new but it is going to change quite early after wearing

He could be immediately a member of Les Apaches gang 100 years ago.


Part 2.
We love Barbour Cycling Jacket. Mention the Qwstion bag in "portrait" mode.
Qwstion Daypack in "landscape" mode. Easily switched.
And the backpack mode.

It is still a Barbour jacket, even it has very modern fit and feeling

The hoodie is attached to the jacket with buttons and has a beautiful and classic tartan lining.

Lots of zips allowing venting makes this jacket even more practical

Yes, again. The same all the time. Red Wings and selvage, today with an Indigofera Double Red Selvage
Royal RepubliQ Coated Rivet belt, easy to wear and you do not need to be a metal head.

This Indigofera tee looks brown but with a greenish hue, sometimes. Very special.

We really had some fun even Vlada on the last image does not look so... Thank you very very much!
