00s A&G Rock ‘n Roll Couture ‘Floury Cross’ Laced Suede Pants

While rather unknown, Amal Guessous’ A&G Rock ‘n Roll couture stands as a paramount to the Chrome Hearts label. Established only a year after the infamous biker-centric house in 1989, A&G retains legitimacy as the only brand to win a lawsuit against Chrome. Guessous was successful in defending his namesake label twice, in both the mid 90s for trademark infringement and unfair competition, as well as in 2007 for infringement on non-trademarked emblems. At one point, A&G had physical retail locations in New York, Los Angeles, London and Tokyo, but have since moved to exclusively digital orders, making second hand pieces incredibly sought after. Offering a thoughtful alternative to the saturated Chrome Hearts reworked Levi’s, Guessous works to create longstanding, handcrafted luxury wear, with retail prices to show for it.

 

MSRP on select A&G Rock ‘n Roll pieces can often rival Chrome Hearts’ custom order pricing. Varying depending on customer and request, these jeans per se feature leather lacing on the waist among silver aglets, which are roughly $200 themself. Reworking a series of baby blue suede cuts to create the patchwork medium, distressed ‘Le Fleur’ detailing sits on both the bottom hem and knee, among the underside pockets. Finalized with an engraved nameplate on the waist band, these bottoms are truly one of a kind. Fitting an adjustable size 30 waist by 32.5 inch inseam, these pants are in pristine condition aside from deterioration on the lace.
