Take the denim craze to a whole new level thanks to Made In Lieu. Made In Lieu is a company that is hoping to redefine the classic Canadian tux by making it even more casual. In place of buttons and a collar, there is...nothing! People can instead enjoy a traditional pullover made out of a nontraditional fabric.
In addition to stylishly standing out from one's peers, Made In Lieu provides a good service for the environment. It uses reclaimed denim materials in various washes from big companies. Unmarred by logos, stains, rips and other unsightly flaws, the limited edition pullovers are only $20 because of their scrappy origins.
Made In Lieu is based in New York City.
