    We’ve featured a couple of articles lately which haven’t been straight down the denim lines, but the collections have been so strong that we couldn’t not post them. You Must Create is one of our favourite British brands and we managed to grab a sneak peek at their A/W 2010 collection this week. Bearing a traditional European feel with elements of the hunter, the artisan and the peasant, the collection includes modern variations of the Guernsey, Aaron and Fairisle knits along with a mix of heavy cords, waxed wools, bonded cotton and herringbone canvas.

    Shirting options include flannel stripes, linen cotton ticking stripe and pink chambray. Jersey wear includes feeder stripe, blanket striped fleece and indigo cotton. To satisfy us Denim Geeks, we would expect the collection to include at least one straight, raw selvedge jean. The collection’s European feel continues with strong shapes for men including this shawl collared pea coat, Edwardian tailored jackets and pocketed fishing jackets.

    Studio D’Artisan is a Japanese brand known chiefly for their incredible denim, and increasingly in recent seasons, the ever-popular Loopwheel sweats. Studio D’Artisan show that while you may have stashed away your 14oz selvedge denim for the summer already, there are some truly quality warm-weather alternatives on offer from their Spring Summer collection.

    Chino’s are this year’s alternative to quality denim, yet these olive green ones provide a rugged familiarity fans of Studio D’Artisan will already be accustomed to whilst providing a healthy alternative to the ‘malaise of beige’ on offer this time of year. Built for hard-graft and exposure to the natural elements allow them to dry in the hot sun to really see this top quality fabric come into its own.

    Also featured here is another top quality work shirt from SDA which hits the mark in every department. Made from a rich and luxurious chambray fabric combined with triple chain stitching throughout, this is a classic summertime piece with fantastic attention to detail brought to the fore. Studio D’Artisan is avaialble at one of our favourite independent stores, www.superdenim.co.uk.
