Roys Denim

I've been an avid follower of Highsnobiety and Selectism for a while now.  It's pretty much a go to past time just to see what's going on as far as entertainment, style, and products go.  One pretty awesome feature they include on their site are weekly tumblr recommendations.  Many of them often capture the typical guys eye with luscious eye candy, while others are spot on with landscapes, DIY features, retro pro wrestling features, and other interests such as denim!

This is when I came across the Tumblr, Shit Denim.  I spent too much time browsing the craft of making denim goods and the attention to detail on this site.  One video that caught my attention is done by the good fellas at Cool Hunting.  They followed Roy in his denim warehouse in Oakland, CA. Roy uses his vintage machinery to compliment his hobby and business of making fine denim goods.  He builds his craft and product with whatever each machine allows him to do, often using fine material from Japanese distributors.

You can find more info about him and even purchase some of his goods here.
