Vostretti

Vostretti is an independent clothing label focused on form, proportion, material, and permanence. Built around the concept of self-conformity, the brand creates clothing itnended to become more personal through wear rather than exist only for a season.

Our collections move between refined essentials and limited, highly considered pieces, with an emphasis on denim, construction, and silhouette. Vostretti works with independent manufacturers and specialist makers across the United States, Europe, and Asia, producing in deliberate quantities and prioritizing quality over volume.

Lifetime Repair Program

Vostretti denim purchased directly from Vostretti is covered by our lifetime repair program.

If your jeans are damaged through wear, send us an email containing your original order number and clear photographs of the affected area. If the denim can reasonably be repaired, Vostretti will repair the garment and return it to you free of charge.

Our intention is simple: a pair of Vostretti jeans should be worn, repaired, aged, and kept.

The lifetime repair program applies to the original purchaser and covers repairable damage to Vostretti denim. It does not cover lost or stolen garments, intentional destruction, significant third-party alterations, or circumstances in which repair is no longer technically possible.

The nearer I get to my 17th, the more I feel this feeling in my heart. I pace around often, just thinking of the possibilites and opportunities that lie just ahead of me. I feel that constant high, that weightlessness I feel when I’m in love with someone. Except I’m not in love with a person right now. I’m in love with what I’ve built for myself, by myself. I know I’m on the right track, I feel it. This is stronger than hope; this feels defined.

All I want in life is to leave a meaningful impact on the world doing something that makes me happy, but makes my parents proud of their son. The day I was born, they told me I would be great, and I want nothing more than to be what they said I would be, but in my own way. I want to build a legacy that will inspire my own children to be great.

I only speak of my truest dreams to a pen and paper. He who talks does not know, and he who knows does not talk. That proverb may ring true, but my revision would include: “he who talks does not take action, but he who takes action does not talk.” My parents have been telling me my whole life that actions speak louder than words. That’s why we discredit hypocritical politicians (most, if not all of them). That’s why nobody believed the boy who creid wolf. I’m so done with saying what I’m doing, because frankly, it doesn’t matter until it’s done. Who cares where you’re applying if you don’t get in?

I don’t want to be another talker, another dreamer. I want to be a doer. The caveat to success is that every successive win must be bigger and better than the last. I don’t want clout or accolades. I want to create solutions and do what I love, and make a killing off it because I can. I want to build things and make the ideas bouncing around in my head real, tangible things. I want to make everyone I love proud. And I want respecet. I don’t know my definite purpose yet, but I’ll find it one day. I’ll just follow my heart’s lead.

I came back from Japan on Monday and it was a beautiful experience. Such a magical city and our US money stretched very far. Did a ton of designer shopping...really hoping I land at least one of the watches for Dad.

I met with the Sales Manager at [...] while I was there. Let’s just say I’m waiting on fabric swatches to be delivered. Their signature blends are so crazy high quality and beyond inspiring and I know my brand is going to elevate with them as a...fabric supplier. It’s about to be so crazy.

My life is so bizarre and outlandish and so entertaining. I’ll update after graduation probably. Until next.

If I had it my way in May 2021, I wouldn’t be here today. I wouldn’t have made it to 18, let alone 16. I’d be a corpse, or ashes. I’d be a void, a name everyone thinks of but never speaks. I’d be a taboo, an unfortunate waste of time and energy, and I’d have caused everyone I love so much pain and suffering. I’m glad I didn’t have it my way, because I wouldn’t trade the world for the way my life is today. Everything is exactly as it should be and I’m content, but I’m hungry for more. I’ve established my baseline, but I’m working on multiplying it.

I turned 18 on Friday. I also started onboarding for my internship with [...], but they’re still really hush-hush about our assignment and the NDA, so we’ll see how gruesome it really is when it starts. My flight to Hartford, CT leaves Saturday night. I don’t think I’m allowed to speak much on it, but I will be recounting my days in this journal.

In other news though, Vostretti has really evolved as a brand and image. Got some more communication from my manufacturer in Japan, and I think I’ll attend Fashion World Tokyo in April to find someone who is fully vertical. I’ve got a few more eyes on me now. It’s a long-term project. I think I will genuinely need a team of people to expand this, but once we’re in growth, we’ll stay in growth.

I feel like it’s always “about to turn up,” but I’m really hopeful and excited for what’s next.

My life has officially started. Time to take the reigns and show the world who Alex Vostretti is.
