Is This Thing On?

When you bought — er, invested in — those jeans made from virgin cotton grown by blind monks, dyed with organic blueberries, and sewn with unicorn hair, you were sure the search was over.

But now there’s House of Cassette, a new line designed and stitched downtown, using some of the best American-milled denim.

Flattering a range of bodies (thanks to 1 percent stretch), women’s jeans come in five washes and two fits (skinny and straight), with low-, natural-, and super-high waists. More fashiony pieces include short-shorts, striped tees, and light jackets.

Suffering from skinny pants overload? Try the gents’ slim, tapered designs that are comfy but not dumpy. So you can finally relax in your denim.

Even if you can’t relax about it.


Available at American Rag World Denim Bar, 160 South La Brea Avenue, between Beverly Boulevard and Third Street, La Brea Corridor (323-935-3154). To see styles, go to houseofcassette.com.
