Final Letter Regarding Local35

2012-01-07T21:50:00.001-08:00

I feel like I need a little more explanation for my actions in closing Local35.

When I started Local35 in 2003, I was a 25 y/o ski bum/photographer. I found the location on Hawthorne during a morning coffee stroll and knew I could make a store from the ideas in my head. The brands I was drawn to were smaller brands (back then) like RVCA, WESC, Freshjive and others. They were mostly affiliated with skate/active lifestyle.

It wasn't until a few years ago that I really got into the fashion side of the industry. The finer fittings, fabrics and fashion as an expression and art.

Local35, being such a site-specific name and the Hawthorne location didn't allow me to expand into the premium sector like I wanted nor could I move the store and have the name make sense.

It was time for change and a new chapter.
This new store, Machus, focuses on clothing designed for limited distribution by fashion designers. Hyper-creative people doing what they love. I have a wonderful relationship with every collection I sell and deeply admire each of them.

The bottom line, I am doing this to keep me on my toes and push myself. I am not a multi-location kind of business owner. I want to have one and do it to the best of my ability.

I hope you enjoy the new store and I thank you for 8 years of support.

Sincerely,
-Justin Machus

The Best Priced Selvage Denim in The World

2011-10-14T14:26:00.000-07:00

THE DENIM

Our jeans are made from rigid and raw 14.5oz Selvedge denim. Selvedge denim is the only true “vintage” denim as its woven on old-school machines called shuttle looms.

These old looms were commonplace in American denim mills from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. In the 1950s, with the rising of youth culture, the birth of rock & roll and the creation of Hollywood celebrity culture, the mills soon abandoned these slower special machines and adopted newer, faster, mass production facilities. Several Japanese mills were happy to pick up many of the discarded looms (and also made reproductions of the vintage machines) so that they could revive the art of denim.

Selvedge denim is special because it is rare and expensive, because it cannot be mass-produced, and because each yard of denim is a unique piece of wearable art. Just flip up the cuff of your jeans or look inside the coin-pocket to see the neat white & blue “self edge” (hence the term selvedge), which is the “proof” that this denim is made on a shuttle loom and not a new mass-production loom.

Naked and Famous Japanese Heritage

2011-07-15T12:54:00.000-07:00

"We call this denim 'Japan Heritage' because, in our opinion, it is a fabric that represents Japan's perception of what is special about vintage denim. The fabric is special because it is the opposite of mass produced denim. It's shuttle woven on a dangerous low-tension setting that creates loom chatter; it uses a slubby/bumpy yarn and has an irregular warp size, which create a beautiful and random texture and appearance."

Otter Wax, Made in Portland

2011-07-13T19:16:00.000-07:00

D.I.Y.

Otter Wax was born from the need to stay dry, and the desire to do so organically. Our wax offers long-lasting protection from the elements and contains only plant based waxes and oils harvested from renewable sources.

Otter Wax is the first and only water repellent wax that doesn’t utilize paraffin, silicone, or other synthetic ingredients. In fact, it was our search for a 100% natural waterproofing method that led us to create our product in the first place. We’ve tested Otter Wax against the other methods, and have formulated our wax to be highly effective and environmentally friendly.

Use it on your denim, canvas bags, shoes, hats, scarves, jackets etc...

Warriors of Radness

With a new shipment in-store, we have dedicated an entire rack to one of my favorite brands... Warriors of Radness. Just in time for the Portland summer with bright colors, tank tops and of course, their shorts.

Playing the new Bon Iver album all day. (Got it early, with a bonus disc from Jackpot Records FYI)

Nikon L35?

How did I miss this? 8 years of having the store and being a photographer I managed to miss the fact that the store bares the same name as the classic Nikon L35 point-and-shoot. Similar font too. Rad.
