New Items From Kasil Jeans
ACCESSORY ADDICT: Kasil Jeans is raising the offerings on its men’s jeans with the iPod-friendly “Victory” jean. The jean is equipped with an extra pocket that perfectly holds a full-size iPod. “We just kind of had fun with it and [started] putting other things in it like whatever a guy would put into this pocket—a pack of cigarettes, cell phone,” said the founder of Kasil Jeans, David Lim. Lim’s experimenting continues with the scarf and hood combination accessory, hence “scoodie.” The scoodie paired with a blazer gives an extra bit of warmth for California winters. —Rhea Cortado
