B Sides

The story of B Sides begins with longtime friends and fashion industry veterans Claire Lampert and Stacy Daily, who began collecting antique denim as founders of the curated-vintage boutique Where I Was From. Their obsession has taken them from Colorado, where they work with a local cowboy who specializes in unearthing rare specimens, to industrial rag houses, where they pick through massive palettes of old garments in search of that perfectly imperfect pair. Their collection begat B Sides’s vintage patchworked styles—graphic jeans that spliced different washes and colors together long before the current craze for reworked denim.

Now, with the introduction of a denim collection using new material, B Sides’s distinct sensibility and attention to detail is available to all—at an accessible price. The difference is in the denim, sourced from family-owned mills in Georgia and North Carolina that have provided workwear textiles to farm supply stores since the 19th century. Pleasingly weighty yet comfortable to wear, the materials have a depth and texture unlike anything seen since the '70s.
