Blends “Made in USA” Project | Blends X RRL by Ralph Lauren
January 22, 2010
It was almost like an early Christmas present when I found out that BLENDS would be collaborating with Ralph Lauren’s iconic RRL collection. If you know me, I have a strong admiration for their products (specifically their 03B-SF!). Heavily influenced by the union made garments of America’s early 20th century, RRL has mastered the art of recreating time specific goods… and has done so for almost 20 years. The jeans were made in conjunction with the BLENDS “Made in USA” campaign and are made with Japanese selvedge denim (black yarn-dyed). More product and order information is available at www.blendsus.com
RRL X Blends selvage denim is limited to 50 pairs and each pair is individually numbered. Rigid black selvage was selected to reflect both our enthusiasm for motorcycles as well as vintage American style. There are 5 different threads used in the manufacturing of the jeans. Also, there are hidden rivets in back pockets just like vintage denim.
We hope to use our Made in USA campaign to recognize the importance of the American worker. Ralph Lauren is an incomparable American Icon in the clothing industry and this product represents both Mr. Lauren and Blends spirit and pride in the USA and American made products.We wanted to produce a unique product to kick off our Made in USA campaign and as such the entire Blends staff is honored to be part of this release with RRL.
