Hailing from one of the first Sustainable In Practice (SIP) Certified vineyards in the Central Coast, their Pinot Noir grapes are grown in the rich and responsible soils of the renowned Edna Valley Wolff Family Vineyard under the tutelage of Jean-Pierre Wolff. These prized fruit are then masterfully and unhurriedly crafted into the 95 Point Best of Class Pinot from Epicurean Traveller and 3rd out of 497 entries at the San Francisco Pinot Shootout, the most comprehensive Pinot specific judging in the Nation. We are sure the nominees are going to be thrilled to try out their bottle of Pinot Noir they will receive in our Hollywood Swag Bags honoring Oscar weekend.

Stirring the Spirit and Speaking to the Heart

by Lisa Gal

Author C. Joybell C. once said, “It is when you lose sight of yourself, that you lose your way. To keep your truth in sight you must keep yourself in sight and the world to you should be a mirror to reflect to you your image; the world should be a mirror that you reflect upon.” This is exactly what Kelly Van Nelson conveys in her collection of poetry titled Graffiti Lane. It is her journey, the good the bad and the ugly. By putting it to paper Kelly turns her experiences into a way to bounce back from her underdog world and help others in the process. Van Nelson is an author and poet currently living in Australia and we are thrilled to have her collection of poetry in our Hollywood Swag Bags honoring Oscar Weekend.

Slim Work Trousers – Dickies 872

The slim, tapered fit below the waist and the two slanted entrance pockets on either side give the pant a tailored look. 

 

The ironed creases running vertically down on both legs are value additions to define a classy finish. Also, there are two short hems detailing on the reverse, above the horizontal waist pockets. You can pair it with a blazer jacket or a t-shirt to elevate the style quotient. 

 

Slim Straight Work Trousers – Dickies 873

 

Dickies 873 is somewhat wide relaxed fit trousers. These pants come with a 17.5” leg opening and permanent crease. Also, the leg is straight and not tapered. The baggy yet slim fit gives ample space for movement.

Work Trousers-Dickies Original 874

 

These trousers are super classic work wear that accentuates the core design elements of the Dickies brand. They have a straight contour. The shape resembles the subtle ‘50s vibes owing to straight leg and slim fit structure. These go well with a pair of chunky trainers, and when rolled just below the ankle, give a retro skate look.

 

Industrial Work Trousers – Dickies 894

 

These trousers have certain features devised to endure repeated abrasion and stretch. The design is in harmony with the structure of the body. The durable flex stretch, cotton blend fabric ensures free movement. 

 

The reinforced stitches at the hem and belt loops prevent tears and rips. These pants have a straight crease running vertically down the front of both legs with a leg opening of 16”. You can match them with a layered or printed cotton shirt.

 

Work Pants-Dickies 803

 

The 803 is the slimmest and tightest fitting of all the Dickies pants. The fit is skinnier on the thigh and around the rear continuing along the straight leg. The pants have a low rise and sit just below the waist. The pants have 98% cotton material, blended with 2% spandex, giving them the right amount of stretch.

 

To find the perfect fit pants, always measure at the top of the hipbone over the shirt for waist measurement. The inseam measurements should be from the crotch base to the top of the shoes. Most importantly, use the best twill fabric to experience its fabulous features and benefits.
