GROWING UP, I WAS RAISED IN A BROKEN BUT LOVING AND HUMBLE HOME—ROUGH PART OF TOWN WHERE FRIENDS WERE TAKEN FROM ME AND LOVERS LEFT.
MY REALITY TAUGHT ME TO DO THINGS ON MY OWN TERMS WITHOUT THE NEED FOR APPROVAL FROM ANYONE BUT MYSELF. BECAUSE OF THIS, I'VE BEEN HEAVILY STEREOTYPED AND JUDGED.
SIX WEEK RESIDENCY IS FOR ANYONE THAT WAS TOLD THEIR DREAMS COULDN'T BE REALITY—THAT THEY SHOULD FALL IN LINE AND FOLLOW THE MOLD. IT'S FOR THOSE THAT WANT TO STAND UP AND SAID FUCK IT. IT'S FOR EVERYONE THAT SEES THE VALUE OF GLAMOUR AND LUXURY BUT WANTS TO BE PART OF IT ON THEIR OWN TERMS.
SIX WEEK RESIDENCY SETS THE BAR FOR STYLISH MENSWEAR AT A FAIR PRICE AND FOCUSES ON ELEVATED QUALITY THAT IS BUILT TO LAST.THIS BRAND IS ABOUT GIVING BACK TO THE PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT LIKE I DID; WHO WERE RELENTLESS AND, AGAINST ALL ODDS, DIDN'T QUIT.
HAVE NO SHAME IN WHO YOU ARE. THIS BRAND IS FOR US.

Our Take

Johnny & the Six Week Residency team have created a unique balance of luxury, accessibility, and rock & roll. SWR creates some of the best slim denim blended with some uniquely authentic washes and treatments. The rock & roll western aesthetic of SWR continues to evolve in new ways as well as the exploration of new and improved fabrics such as working with Kaihara Denim from Japan. We’re excited for every season’s fresh new vision through Johnny’s well honed lens.
