    • Yeah, trusting blindly ChatpGPT is always risky. Here is a little game: I asked ChatGPT to write me an intrudiction and history of Denime. Please find the mistakes A Detailed History of Denime Denime is a pioneering Japanese denim brand that has been instrumental in shaping the country’s reputation for producing high-quality, vintage-inspired jeans. Founded in 1988 by Yoshiyuki Hayashi, Denime was part of the legendary Osaka Five—a group of five influential Japanese denim brands that sought to revive the craftsmanship and authenticity of classic American denim. Alongside Studio D’Artisan, Evisu, Fullcount, and Warehouse, Denime played a crucial role in the Japanese denim revival movement, which was driven by a deep appreciation for mid-century American workwear and traditional denim production methods. The Early Years & the Pursuit of Authenticity Yoshiyuki Hayashi was passionate about vintage denim, particularly the jeans produced by Levi’s in the 1940s and 1950s. Inspired by their durability, texture, and natural fading characteristics, he sought to create jeans that faithfully replicated those iconic garments. Denime’s approach to denim was methodical and precise—the brand sourced high-quality cotton, used vintage shuttle looms to weave selvedge denim, and employed natural dyeing techniques to achieve a rich, authentic indigo hue. Unlike modern mass-produced denim, Denime’s jeans were built to age gracefully, developing a unique patina with wear that mirrored the evolution of true vintage jeans. Denime quickly became one of the most respected names in Japanese denim, admired by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide for its meticulous construction and dedication to the original spirit of American workwear. Change in Ownership & the Evolution of the Brand In the early 2000s, Denime underwent a significant transformation when Hayashi left the company. The brand was eventually acquired by Shins Co. Ltd., leading to some changes in production methods and design philosophy. While the core identity of Denime remained, many denim enthusiasts noted subtle differences in fabric and fit compared to the original models. In 2018, Denime was revived under the management of Warehouse & Co., another highly respected brand from the Osaka Five. This shift was welcomed by denim purists, as Warehouse & Co. is known for its deep commitment to historical accuracy and craftsmanship. Under this new leadership, Denime returned to its roots, restoring the original fits, fabric textures, and vintage fading characteristics that made it a beloved brand in the first place. Denime Today: A Legacy of Craftsmanship Today, Denime continues to be a cornerstone of the Japanese denim industry, producing jeans that remain true to the spirit of classic American denim. Its core lineup includes models inspired by Levi’s 501 cuts from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, with carefully reproduced details such as hidden rivets, chain-stitched hems, and hand-finished distressing. For denim enthusiasts, a pair of Denime jeans represents more than just clothing—it’s a tribute to heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring appeal of well-made workwear. As Japanese denim continues to be revered worldwide, Denime stands as a testament to the meticulous artistry that defines the country’s approach to jeans-making. Would you like details on specific Denime models or how it compares to other Japanese denim brands?

    • Speaking of which.. This is the down vest I wear at work through the winter.. the grime build up is just incredible, I don’t wear it outside the workshop  It’s Made in USA North Face from the early 90s.. back when they were a respectable mountaineering brand,  my friend bought it to go up Mont Blanc.. started running ultras, slimmed down so it was too big and gave it to me.. when it gets a puncture and starts loosing down, I superglue a little patch of gaffer tape over the hole, the silver tape eventually peels away but leaves the woven backing stuck to the pertex as a fix.. as you can see above^ gaffer tape patches old and new. I can’t wash it so every summer I buy a pack of baby wipes and scrub it down inside and out while wearing it.. then put it away for the summer..  It’s the epitome of make do and mend
