Calling all do-gooders! Through the end of March, the sustainable shoemakers at Terra Plana are offering 50% off all stock — online and in store — to society’s “key workers,” i.e., police officers, fire fighters, doctors, nurses, dentists and dental hygienists, paramedics, vets and veterinary nurses, “community support officers”, public sector workers, “ministry of defense personnel”, teachers, nursery nurses, prison officers, probation service staff, social workers, traffic wardens, environmental health officers, and “care coordinators”. Sadly, deal bloggers failed to make the cut.

Through Monday, 3/1, Laurel Canyon Vintage is taking 50% off all men’s stock, including flannel and Western shirts, boots, denim jackets and vintage T’s. Can’t miss. Lovin’ these bad-ass ’60s Boulet Harness boots down to the negligible sum of $105.

We absolutely applaud the renaissance that raw denim has experienced in recent years, but it has made for some difficult navigating. Mercifully, some top manufacturers, sellers, and bloggers — along with writers, poets, musicians, environmentalists, and students — have come together to put over 25 top brands to the test. Denim Debate was conceived to “showcase the best in premium denim while, at the same time, shining a light on the personalities that wear and have a passion for it,” writes organizer and [you have broken the internet] blogger Ryan Plett. Think of it as a menswear Manhattan Project. Hey Ryan, Let’s do shirts next!
