Inspiration Behind The Collection
What was the inspiration behind the SS15 collection?
We take inspiration from anything we perceive to be classic and American. The Spring line is an extension to the prior season, but just aimed at different temperatures and feelings. We never want to come out with a line and shock anyone. There is a specific denim wash that screams late '80s, Camaros, mullets, and maybe a bad attitude. It is a light blue wash without contrived wear patterns and we can do this for the reasons previously mentioned. Are the late '80s classic and cool? Yes. Does this lighter wash make sense for Spring? Yes.
If our readers had to choose three pieces from Freenote’s SS15 collection what should they pick and why?
Our Rios Standard denim is a classic styled denim in a well-tailored fit that should belong in every man’s wardrobe. Our short sleeved wovens and pocket tees are great for spring when the weather begins to turn. Finally, we would recommend our Riders Jacket in waxed canvas. It has a great contrast interior lining and is a cool statement piece that is also versatile enough to wear with any outfit.
