Travel report Paris

Author: Nitty Crew Posted: January 27th, 2012

We continued on in our search for the real deal in menswear for next A/W 2012.
Paris next and we always enjoy coming back to the city of love. We come here to visit tradeshows, to attend runway shows, to go to a bunch of showrooms and to eat a duck leg or two.
From Paris we buy among others, Visvim, Adam Kimmel and A.P.C. We always stay at Andres place up in the 9th and we always go to number 13 on Rue de Charonne for a proper Chateaubriand with all the right belongings.
Sometimes we go partying and stay out late at night, Le Pompon is a favourite.

Sometimes we just stay in the hotel and hang out with the staff after they finish their workday. They are so nice, sometimes they give us drinks and let us smoke inside. But most of the time, we just run around looking for a free taxi. That's a challenge. Sometimes we take the Metro. That’s easier. We love Paris.

Travel report Florence

Author: Nitty Crew Posted: January 26th, 2012

Our buying season always kick off with an always inspiring week at the numero Uno trade show in men's fashion, Pitti Uomo in lovely Florence. This year was no exception.

What makes Pitti so unique is the total cover of the whole menswear fashion scene. You have everything divided in different areas and buildings depending up on what segment your brand belongs to.
We've got the L´Altra Uomo space where you find brands like Nigel Cabourn, TS(S), Diemme, Ten C, Gitman Vintage among our Swedish friends Our Legacy and Uniforms for the Dedicated.
In the Touch Area you can pick up treats from brands like Yuketen, Want Les Essentials de la Vie, Post Overalls, Barena and the White Briefs.
But the heart of Pitti is of course Padiglione Centrale, a huge three floors building where it's quite easy to get lost between all the silk and cashmere from Belvest, Kiton, Corneliani, Zegna, Brunello Cucinelli... well pretty much everyone that makes slick, expensive and made by hand tailoring or accessories.

Part from all the beautiful clothing we see we sure enjoy a proper Italian pasta, a glass of Chianti and maybe, for the special occasions, a glass of Prosecco. For cocktails, the place to be is Harry's bar. The dry martini's they do over there… Oh mama!

Arividerchi!

Nitty Gritty_20th Anniversary ‘991-‘011

Author: Nitty Crew Posted: December 8th, 2011

When we set out to create the Nitty Gritty 20 YRS anniversary collection we really wanted to present a look that felt up to date yet kept some of the more important style references that has been a part of our stores history during these past 20 years. So when the time has come for the release of piece number three and four out of six we believe that our intentions of what we’ve had in mind right from the beginning is becoming more and more obvious.

The White Levis 505 is the ultimate and true to origin mod jean, but also the style worn by skinheads throughout the years. We asked our friends over at Levis Vintage if they could re-produce the white 505 for our special anniversary celebration. They accepted our request and liked the idea so much that they decided to include it in the LVC collection for Spring/Summer 2012. But they also created 20 pairs just for us so we could add them exclusively into our 20 YRS celebration collection. What they did was actually to over dye the regular raw 505’s so they became softer in hand and got a touch of a very light bluish tone. Similarly to if you added a little bit of chlorine to them, just like the skins used to do!









The City Trek boots by Lundhags have been designed by the Nitty Gritty team in order to get a comfy and slightly slicker version of the classic Lundhags cell rubber boot. By adding a dark brown premium leather, golden eyelets, and a low Vibram commando sole we ended up with a kind of punkish or skinheadish look or interpretation of the classic hiker style that throughout the years has built the worldwide reputation of Lundhags as being one of the best boot makers in the world. Our limited pairs of 20 have been made by hand by Mats-Håkan Lundhag himself, great grandson of the founder Jonas Lundhag, at HQ still situated in the small factory kept up in the North of Sweden, Järpen.
