Q&A 

Interesting how men e-mail me and ask for help when women seem to think they will never stop and ask for directions. I have to say nearly 6 months in NYC; the men out dress the women HANDS DOWN …and it’s not that I think they are more style savvy … but they have decided they do not need to be personally responsible for knowing how to put their wardrobe together and asked for help. This one characteristic of caring less actually has a greater impact. Ladies… come on! You have a hair stylist, a manicurist, a hair removal artist, an esthetician, a dermatologist, a mechanic, a babysitter damn it start using a stylist and maybe she will find your self-esteem that seems to still be missing. You are beautiful and deserve to feel like a million bucks every day without spending around $20,000 on vanity services a year and still stress EVERY MORNING about what you are going to wear and complain about your wretched wardrobe over mimosa’s. Trust!

Guy’s thanks for having the kahunas to shoot me an e-mail and attach a photo; YOU ROCK!

Denim QUESTION: Hi, I recently listened to your podcast re: 30+ jeans advise. I am 43 years old, 6’2″ and 175 lbs, looking for jeans I can wear both casually and also with a nice shirt, blazer. Looking to buy a pair of 7 for all Mankind Standard fit jeans in the Mercer wash. Are these appropriate for my age and body type? Other brands I should look at? Thanks, Rod

Answer from The Butt Therapist: Thanks Rod- good choice for breaking out of your ordinary denim you’ve made a great pick check the length!!!!- You may want to dive into a pair of Earnest Sewn Fuller in 06 Maz Dark $117.00. It is a dark wash with a few whiskers but the nicest thing about Earnest Sewn is that their pocket placement complements a blazer nicely. The denim is strong, slightly edgy and an understated for business but you know it’s something a little more special that a pair of 7′s.  The leg opening is much more forgiving on your shoe selection as they puddle easily. {that’s a good thing}. Hudson would be my 2nd choice… in the Harper 5-pocket Slim Straight in the Mercer wash $154.00. 

Jeans should float 2/8 of an inch from the ground with your shoes on; you may not be a 32 inseam.

All my denim Love,

The Butt Therapist – off the cuff!

So…here is The Butt Therapist – off the cuff! The Wrangler video I made was the first time I stepped in front of a camera and actually opened my mouth! I have decided that you will bear witness to my embarrassment as this “video thing” needs to become a part of my reality and executed effortlessly. Be prepared to laugh with me as I run my mouth, use too many hand gestures and figure out where this “valley girl” accent is coming from. You’ll get to know me a little bit more personally if adjusting your toosh wasn’t personal enough. Be nice- Karma SUCKS… I welcome the opportunity to laugh at my expense. The things I do for the LOVE of DENIM! Thank you Damien from San Damian Line for saving me and taking a few head-shots!

Lacoste jumps on Earnest Sewn’s Pockets

Lacoste and Earnest Sewn have come together. Beginning in March you will see Lacoste polo’s in Earnest Sewn jean shops and when you walk into Lacoste Earnest Sewn jeans will be laying on the tables. Retail stores they are not leaving you out: you can order the co-branded products for your March merchandise assortment too!

“It’s a logical extension of our brands. We know that our customers wear jeans with their Lacoste polos and t-shirts,” says Steve Birkhold, CEO of Devanlay USA. Lacoste is looking to boost it’s bottoms business which is currently 10% of US sales. Birkhold knows his denim as the former CEO of Diesel USA. 

Made in the USA, these special jeans are a collection of Earnest Sewns’ best fits, tweeked washes with a crocodile on the watch pocket and a green stitched rear belt loop. I love seeing brands coming together to share their strengths with each other to create new products. “We brought a lot of expertise to Lacoste,” says Gary Cohen, president of Earnest Sewn. ” In return we get to work with a very sustainable brand, expose our own brand to a new customer base and introduce their polos in our stores where we are expanding out sportswear business.” 

Men’s denim: $185.00- $195.00 (2 fits/4 washes)

Women’s Denim: $165.00-$195.00 (3 fits/7 washes)

-50 Lacoste’s full price US boutiques will carry the denim collection-

Lacoste polos will be available in 7 colors in Earnest Sewn’s 2 Manhattan stores and their Malibu location. 


butttherapist:  Loved Earnest Sewn- then you’ll love the fit of Evisu!

“One of the things that’s really complicated about Evisu is that it represents different things in each country.” -Scott Morrison:


Evisu is a designer clothing company from Japan that specialized to make high quality premium denim wear. Hidehiko Yamane established this company in the year 1988. Evisu is also known by many as Evisu Genes. Their products utilized human labor more than machines and this gives them a human touch that ensures greater quality. It’s like having a custom made jeans or tee!
