UBi-IND

Went at 12:45 on a Saturday. Closed with no explanation. Will not be returning as this was clearly during their marked business hours.

Just ordered two more pairs of the UBi-​IND jeans. The MSL in Military Green and the MSL in Khaki. Both of these are rocking — though I’m partial to the green. The over-​dye process makes for a bit of character in the coloring and the «put-​together» is solid (strong seams, quality material). The first two pairs are standards in my casual Friday and weekend rotations. Since November of this year, I’ve washed them each twice (actually, a cold water soak with Woolite Dark, a cold rinse and a line dry) and a retail fold. They look equally great with a white dress shirt, blazer and church shoes or with a Sun Records T-​shirt and a pair of Chuck Ts. Next go-​around I’m picking up a pair of «Buckle-​Backs» and the MSL in Military Gray.
After years of khakis on the weekend, I’m back to my denims.

Swung by here today because I had a rather well-​worn pair of UBi jeans. Was wondering if they where able to patch them up and wanted to check out what else they had. So glad I stopped by.
Turns out Ubi himself mans the shop — got to have a really awesome conversation with him about jeans, how his store came to be. Ubi is an extremely passionate and nice individual, was awesome to talk to not only the owner but people who created the jeans I wear everyday. If you have never checked out these jeans and have an «interesting» (athletic/​large legs, «normal jeans don’t fit me») then check this place out.
Sadly Ubi does not do any repairs at his shop at this time — however he was able to provide me with someone local to me (Oakland) who can repair the goods. Also ended up picking up two extra pair of jeans while we chatted about motorcycles and what not. All the other wares inside where pretty interesting and good looking, I just didn’t need to grab anything else at the time — though I’ll definitely be swinging by whenever I need anything else clothes-​wise.
An excellent shop with amazing selection, run by an extremely awesome person. Nice little coffee place immediately next door as well, so that’s a extra plus.

This place is Amazing! Ubi knows a ton about denim from his large set of experiences in the industry. From Tommy to Caterpillar to Theory, he’s been there. Done it all and has the stories to tell about it.
I’m 6’5″ so the long cut of his jeans fits me perfect. Lots of strong American cone denim and several different cuts to fit various men’s body types and styles. Come in and check it out.
You’ll dig the music playing and jewelry selection too. Ask him if he sells books.
