Alternative Apparel

We've been hunting for a reasonably priced (yet stylish) line of tees for men and women for a long time. Luckily, we gave Alternative Apparel a second look. Within the last year, they've added tons of new, updated options for men and women. Most retail between $20 and $39.

Many tees are eco-friendly and/or organic! We carry a large assortment of styles here at the Portland store, and we receive new shipments all the time. You can view their entire collection at http://www.alternativeapparel.com/. Check the website out and bring your wish list into the shop!

Saint Grace Scarves.

These scarves from Saint Grace of Los Angeles are comfy, machine-washable, and are perfect for a little extra warmth without something itchy next to your skin. And they are great gifts for you or others at $39. We also have a rugby-stripe version which retails at $49. Both men and women love them!

St Grace Mini Stripe Scarf $39

DL 1961 - Staff Pick for "Best Butt Jeans" at Nolita.

Rihanna in her DL1961 jeans

We don't know about you, but we are sick of jeans getting baggy and saggy in all the wrong places. Our answer: DL1961. The denim material retains its shape perfectly! This new line of denim out of LA is "part attitude, part technology, and completely sexy." These are truly flattering in every size.

With XFIT LYCRA, a four-way stretch material that moves 360 degrees with your body, you can't go wrong. These jeans are as comfy as your leggings and make your butt look like you are putting that gym membership to good use.

DL 1961 Nicole Skinny $159

We heart Simon Miller.

A friend of ours at a big denim line told us her friend, Simon Miller, was making some sick jeans we had to check out (believe it or not, we hear this all the time and are usually disappointed by what we see). But, we were blown away by his perfect fit for every guy. And we confess: we love his New Zealand accent, too.

Forbes.com says: "SIMON MILLER aims to make shopping for denim easier for guys. To that end, he makes only one style, with a simple, slim straight leg that's available in 10 different washes, from the PACIFIC wash to the dark, raw LOS ANGELES wash. The classic cut works well on most body types". Visit www.simonmillerjeans.com to learn more.

We just love that the hem doesn't drag under shoes. Perfect. Email nolitaportland@hotmail.com for the latest selection.

Naked and Famous in Portland, Oregon.

NOW IN STOCK!
Brandon, the designer of Canadian-based denim line Naked and Famous, is a bit of a bad-ass. He is anti-celebrity and anti-endorsment. Which means he is quite a rebel as far as today's celeb-driven society is concerned. And he's not anything like the other designers we carry. Which is why GQ Magazine can't stop raving about him (see below).

Be sure to check out http://www.nakedandfamousdenim.com/ for loads of cool information about the brand, including the following:

"Naked & Famous Denim uses only the most unique and rare denim fabrics from Japan. The prestigious mill in Japan, from which we import all our fabric, is committed to producing only the best (and most expensive) denim in the world. Throughout each step in denim production (weaving, dyeing, finishing…) the mill uses a combination of old school and modern methods and practices. So much culture and history is poured into the fabric so that it can be appreciated by the denim purist.

We keep all our jeans raw and simple. No washes, no embroidery, no gimmicks… just the best fabric in the world combined with modern fits. We have eliminated these costly (and in our opinion unnecessary) after-effects, and have stripped down our jeans to the core essentials. Now true denimheads and newcomers alike can enjoy these special fabrics at a reasonable price."

So, boys, if you were looking for the perfect pair of plain but cool jeans to wear with everything from a suit jacket to a hooded sweatshirt, we have your answer. Nolita is one of the only places in Portland you can find them. So email nolitaportland@hotmail.com if you're into it.

James Perse.

King of comfort, James Perse, always wins the hearts of those in need of some good-lookin', everyday, clothes. Check out the entire line at http://www.jamesperse.com/.

Lately, his designs for men have won our customers over. He introduced the perfect (we mean it) v-neck tee shirt this year, and frankly we have a hard time keeping them in stock. They are made of really soft, durable cotton. Email nolitaportland@hotmail.com for the latest colors available.

And, if you are a cashmere-junkie, or have yet to become one, may we suggest a James Perse sweater?

It's a Good, Good, Society.

Another do-gooder denim company! But, hey, we're not complaining.

GOOD SOCIETY is a denim (and soon-to-be clothing) line based in Seattle, Washington.

The details are clean, the fit is great, and the prices are more reasonable than almost every denim line out there. Right now, Nolita just has the Straight Leg in the Raw wash, but we plan on expanding our assortment of fits and washes in our Portland location...

But "raw & straight" go together like "peas & carrots" so we think our male customers will be happy for now. http://www.goodsociety.org/.



Good Society Straight Leg Jean in Raw Wash $99

IN STOCK Current/Elliott "Belle" Slouchy Flare




NEW AT NOLITA: Current/Elliott

Finally...comfortable jeans are stylish! Get into the latest slouchy denim look with Current/Elliott. The drape and softness of the fabric is amazing. You will never want to take them off (it's OK because neither do Kate Beckinsale, Reese Witherspoon or Katie Holmes).

The female design-duo ( Emily Current & Marrit Elliott) of C/E modeled the fit after Levi's XXX jeans from waaaaay back in the day, but corrected the measurements to be flattering on a woman. And then they make the jeans out of that luscious fabric (we already mentioned)! We have lots of washes arriving you may be into such as: Love Destroy, Super Love Destroy, Easy Love, and Tattered from Current Elliott.

Want to be notified when we get new styles? Give us a call (503)274-7114 or email nolitaportland@hotmail.com.

Current Elliott jeans will be available at both the Portland, Oregon and Missoula, Montana locations.

We don't care how you spell it: Current Elliot, Current Eliot, or Current Elliot!
