MANIMAL
I remember the show.
Anyway, how the people from an early eighties show about a shape-shifting man got into the handmade moccasin business, I’ll never know. Perhaps they decided to shape-shift into the organic jeans business as well? Either way, I’m glad, because the shoes are adorable and sweatshop free, (vegan options are available) and the jeans are organic and simply awesome.
Just like the show.

Oh, and btw, I know they aren't the same thing- the show and the shoes. But it would be extra amazing if they were.

Guys Just Got Lucky
NUDIE JEANS
These jeans are pretty sweet- I wish they had some for girls, but I guess we have enough jeans…
Nudie makes some organic jeans for guys, and although I'm usually anti baggy pants, this trend of guys showing off their skinny-ass legs by wearing what can only be described as denim tights, is not cool. NOT COOL, guys. So cover up by putting on some nudie-ty.
p.s. They recommend you don’t wash them for six months, which I know you weren’t planning on doing anyway because you live like an animal, but think of all the theoretical water and dryer-ness you’d be saving if you did have good hygiene, or at least a girlfriend too make you feel bad about yo' stinky pants.

In Good Society
GOOD SOCIETY
These are Sling and Stones jeans, sold through an organization dedicated to ecologically sound and socially progressive thinking. Other peeps in this society? Pathos water, which seems to have something to do with the water they sell in Starbucks, underneath photos of thirsty-looking African children, and Deconstruction Reconstruction, who make clothes out of… well, other clothes. The website is confusing, but the sentiment is clear: do good and be good and it’ll all be all good.

Delicious Del Forte
Del Forte
Del Forte has been at the forefront of organic denim for the past three years. They are dedicated to fair trade and sustainable design, and more importantly, they make cute jeans. I have a pair and people literally chase me down the street asking me where I got them. I tell them they came from a small store in Albania because I don’t want people wearing the same jeans as me. But then here I am, letting you all know how awesome these jeans are. Oh well.
Their jeans are 100 percent organically grown cotton, and when you order from them, you order gets written down on recycled paper, because their entire office is eco-friendly.
