Norwegian black metallers 1349 have worked with Anti Denim designer Karoline Bakken Lund to create exclusive handmade denim jeans as part of the Custom Made collection. The jeans are available through Anti Denim's online store, where every denim ordered will be made the exact way it was made. The jeans are sold numbered and each comes with a signed autograph from 1349. Prices start at 4666 NOK or 590 euros.
In a recent interview with Lemonade magazine, Kjetil Wold of the Norwegian design group Anti stated about about his black metal-inspired clothing company, "We are a denim brand who aim to put rebellion back into jeans. As Norwegians, we are heavily influenced by the true Norwegian black metal sub culture. Coming from Norway, we find it natural to build our philosophy around something truly Norwegian."
When asked if he has received any feedback from any remaining members of the early '90s wave of Norwegian black metal, Kjetil said, "We have had good feedback and are proud to say that artists like SATYRICON, 1349 and RUNHILD GAMMELSÆTER are not only using our denims but are or have been involved in several projects with us."
Anti is actually awesome denim, their high-waist skinnies have magical butt powers.
I don't think quality tailoring/neat little pocket details are rebellious or black metal but they're good jeans if you can't make it to NY for a pair of Court customs.

designer jeans giving gattaca scientists the idea for designer genes and mutating a planet of sickly pale fat slobby fuckstick evolutionary detritus into a well toned white tooth aryan clusterfuck with the only side effect being a lifetime supply of explosive herpes concocted with gun powder and dynamite

Further evidence that playing black metal means you've gone full hipster. No surprises here.
I honestly don't think this is being marketed to the black metal crowd. Too expensive, and it doesn't fit in with the musical ideologies. There are people outside of the music culture that appreciate the aesthetics that the music has brought along with it, and having 1349 on this is more or less just a "certified authentic" stamp on the product. They're the ones that I think this is marketed to. It's sort of like that white girl in somerville with a tattoo in chinese writing.
When I can't make it to the local Sear's Bliss to buy my clothes, there's a Burlington Goat Factory right down the street, but that means I have to get a ride from LL Bean Malmberg.
