Koen Tossijn is Moos Tailored Basics. He's based in Amsterdam, and he makes custom jeans for the people around him. You could be one of those people; you could be wearing bespoke jeans. It's the good stuff, too: 14-ounce, indigo-dyed, Japanese selvedge denim with a button handmade from copper and enamel. Mr. Tossijn not only aims to bring back the relationship between maker and wearer, but he's also making a play to bring back bartering. If you can't pony up the €380, Mr. Tossijn will consider a trade for something that you believe to be of equal value, something that will make his "horizon a little wider." So for you old-school bartering types, that probably means no chickens, molasses, or spare wagon wheels.
