-“!iTEM represents a lifestyle of the young and creative. Embracing the urban landscape, we believe in the soul of a city and the heart of the youth. !iTEM is designed and made in the U.S.A – denim is our lifeblood. Modern Forward.

Wow, power stretch for men – way to go. You dudes need to try this one. I know, many of you believe that stretch is “something only for women”….! Maybe it once was, a long time ago. But, nowadays, it is a total MUST for the guys as well. Try it and you’ll love it!
