Upcoming book release Denim Dudes takes a new look at the working men of the cloth. Spanning North America, Europe, Japan, and Oceania, the book profiles over 80 of the world’s top denim designers, collectors, and enthusiasts.

Devoted readers of this site will recognize people like Kiya Babzani, Mohsin Sajid, Mike Hodis, Mikiharu Tsujita, among dozens of others gracing Denim Dudes’ pages. Author Amy Leverton has worked in denim reporting and trend forecasting at WGSN Stylesight over a decade and many of her subjects are also colleagues and friends.

Denim Dudes is scheduled to release on February 6th at Rin Tanaka’s next Inspiration show in LA, but you can preorder it now for $19 at Amazon.
