If your dad isn’t the most conscientious person when it comes to clothing care (does he actually know where the care tag is?), there’s no reason why he can’t enjoy some great jeans. And with Nom de Guerre’s Classic Jean in a beautiful naturally-dyed indigo, he’ll be joining the ranks of men like Marlon Brando and James Dean who knew that all you ever really need to look good is a great pair of jeans.
For dads who aren’t in the know, Nom de Guerre only uses Japanese selvedge denim: a form of denim that has to be woven by hand on shuttle looms, that has no weak unfinished edge, and is nicer, tougher, and all around more interesting than the generic fabric that other methods produce. Dyed with real indigo (instead of synthetic dyes), these jeans can handle just about any abuse you can dish out and will fade beautifully over time. This means that about the time that dad finishes restoring that muscle car, his jeans will be just as good-looking.
The last pieces from Made Her Think’s spring 2010 collection have finally arrived at the store and they have definitely been worth the wait. Rich, lustrous metals and devilish curves put a cap to a great season from Meredith Kahn. Items to be posted soon to the webstore.
Double Chain Ring in oxidized silver ($138)
What would otherwise be a pair of cutesy rings gets a smart update in deep, oxidized silver and are linked together with a similarly treated pair of chain links. Let the chains dangle from your hand or twist the rings for a simple, but graphic look.
Serpent rings in silver ($138) and black rhodium ($173)
A triple looped ring wraps around your finger for a faux-stacked look. Grab the silver version for a brilliant shine or indulge in your dark side with the deep black rhodium. These rings are sized, but the loop construction gives them a bit of wiggle room.
Claw tusk studs in rose gold with smoky quartz ($391) and in oxidized silver with white topaz ($382)
Meredith’s penchant for combining the luxe, the romantic, and the wild comes together beautifully in these studs. The backwards-curving tusks form the backing for a stark contrast against the delicate stone setting. We only have one of each, so if you’re as madly in love with these as we are, you better call or e-mail us right away.

Take a peep at this awesome feature with Jill and Sabine of Lady Grey. We’ll be getting our selection up on the webstore as soon as possible, but don’t be lazy and just call us if you want it!
Sorry to keep you guys holding our breath for so long, but we’ve very happy to announce that Lady Grey has arrived at Acrimony. We haven’t gotten a chance to add these to the webstore yet, so if you have a hankering for some pyrite and silver, just call or e-mail us directly.
Pyrite Dash Ring, $138
An open loop gunmetal ring branches out into a bar with a crushed pyrite inlay: a ring full of fool’s gold is way better than a fistful of dollars.
Grid Ring, $138
Decadently decayed, this cast ring made from oxidized silver feels delicate but can toughen up any look.
Pyrite Pendulum Necklace, $253
Four brass arms form a makeshift cage for a single, large piece of pyrite. Chain is unevenly treated for a one-of-a-kind patina.
Mink bone rings, $81 each
Cast from actual bones in silver, oxidized silver, and bronze, these rings are perfect for single wear if you want something wickedly dainty, spread across your hands in a glittering display, or irregularly stacked on one finger.
Triple Hexagon Ring, $161
One of our personal favorites from this collection (don’t be surprised if you see the Acrimony staff sporting these!), this silver ring utilizes smart geometry for a shape somewhere between medieval armor and an anatomic knuckle.
Facet Point Ring, $196
Oxidized silver meets rough-hewn geometry for a shape that’s distinctly Lady Grey. Wear it by itself for a real statement or couple it with the rings you already own to add texture, depth, and color.
The Acrimony x MAKR exclusive cordovan wallet is back in stock (but just barely). We received two but one of these guys already got snatched up, so if you want to be one of three lucky owners in the world, call us or e-mail us right away before it disappears!
And speaking of LAEKEN, we forgot to throw up some pictures from the latest shipment from Mallyce Miller’s beautifully gritty spring 2010 collection. Not only do we have the earlier styles in new colorways, we have great new pieces like the Kochi Tee with sophisticated tribal print and dramatic cut-out back, the super comfy Torino Tank printed with a deliciously messy and blotchy stripe, as well as several new dresses. They’ll be posted here and to the webstore soon, but if you just can’t wait, come by the store or drop us a line.
The new Odyn Vovk collection is in! Hand dyed tees, black zipper denim, more balloon shorts (both slub AND nylon), long slub cotton hoodies, leather hats and more. These pieces all work together so layer ‘em on.
We’re still waiting for the bad ass leather pieces…but for now, shop the collection HERE.
Sifting through the S10 lookbooks and realized I didn’t share the amazing pieces we picked up from Rad by Rad Hourani for Spring 2010. Yes, get excited.
Looking forward to trying the black denim cardigan, the long//drapey black & white jersey top, and most of all the zip denim…37” inseams for major major stack.
