FINE CREEK SHINKI HORSEHIDE RICHMONDS66 TYPE I JACKET Fine Creek finally hits us with a fresh production run of their Type I jacket made of Shinki horsehide; we’ve been waiting what seems like years for this jacket to come back. These are made of a 1.5mm vegetable tanned, aniline finished, tea-core dyed Shinki horsehide leather and finished with a pigment dyed 100% cotton liner and vintage style steel buttons. These are not produced by a factory producing jackets for other brands, these are produced in Fine Creek’s own small workshop in Tokyo.

STUDIO D’ARTISAN AMAMI DOROZOME & SLUBBY GL3 JEANS We've got a really special jean here as we see Studio D’Artisan pushing their production techniques to a new level, the Amami-Dorozome double-indigo mud dyed jeans. These jeans have been mud dyed over indigo denim by hand in Amami Oshima, Japan. Absolutely beautiful and once the mud-dyed “overdye” fades away you’ll be able to see the deep indigo denim underneath. These will look truly amazing after some wear as they patina and the indigo denim shows through the "overdye". These GL3 SD-1001 (classic straight leg) and SD-1008 (relax tapered) models are Studio D'Artisan's newest jean made of their newly developed slubby 15oz denim. They nailed the feel and look of this denim, with the 15oz weight it's a heavy denim which can be worn year round. SDA truly nailed the perfect amount of slub yarn character for just the right about of slub pattern in the denim. This denim is unsanforized (but rinsed) and has some great character to it; it starts out a little darker than your average raw indigo jean so it's sure to look great once the patina forms as some areas start to lighten with regular wear.

THE SELF EDGE X SAMURAI X 3SIXTEEN SEXSX3S27 CAPSULE COLLECTION - THE REDLINERS We've come together with Samurai and 3sixteen, two very well known denim brands we've been working with for a combined 25 years to bring you a capsule collection inspired by our love of Japanese cars. Samurai has had a legitimate racing team building exclusively vintage JDM (Japan Domestic Market) cars for nearly two decades and the crew behind 3sixteen & Self Edge used to build street racing Toyotas and Hondas years ago. We always wanted to do a collaboration involving two different denim focused brands and bringing Samurai together with 3sixteen felt like a natural fit. All three entities worked on designing an all new Samurai denim from the ground up to create two jeans and a denim jacket which were made in Japan, along with a printed pocket t-shirt which was made in the USA with Japanese hardware accents. The denim is a 15oz Japanese selvedge denim with a natural and synthetic indigo dyed warp made of medium staple 100% Texas cotton fibers while the weft is made of a custom blend of natural un-bleached short staple cottons from Greece, Australia, and the USA. We went with a charcoal selvedge ID with a silver lamé thread, understated and very Samurai. The jean is finished with .950 sterling silver plated sakura buttons, Samurai original rivets, and ShoGyo-Mujo jacquard pocket bags, while the jacket is finished with original Samurai black snap buttons, an inner chest pocket, a heavyweight cowhide patch, a Samurai Motorclub tag, and a 100% cotton drawstring. You can find this collection of jeans, jackets, tees, and stickers now online and off-line. Shop the Collection Online: https://www.selfedge.com/3s-samurai-se

NEW SUGAR CANE JEANS & WHITESVILLE T-SHIRTS! A huge delivery from Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson, and Whitesville just landed at all stores. Sugar Cane’s new bootcut jeans are here. These are words you probably weren’t expecting to read today. We used to carry bootcut jeans from Sugar Cane, Iron Heart, and Imperial from 2006 to 2009; but over the years most Japanese brands phased out these models as demand for slimmer and tapered (then wider) jeans erased any interest in bootcut silhouettes. Sugar Cane seems to be the first Japanese brand to revisit this style with a completely reworked fit and a new pure-indigo dyed 14oz denim developed in-house and based off bootcut jeans from the early 1970’s, while the fit is inspired by silhouettes closer to the late 1970’s. I guess if you’re selling jeans for nearly 20 years then you’ll see styles you never thought would come back actually come back, and here we are, bootcut jeans, we have them again. Sugar Cane Fiction & Romance Work Pants are also here. These are made of an 8oz indigo stripe fabric, woven on a shuttle loom, and inspired by vintage narrow-width textiles originally used for traditional Japanese clothing. Initially it appears to be a simple indigo-and-natural stripe fabric, but upon closer inspection, small white areas can be seen within the indigo base. These subtle white sections are created using kasuri yarns, which are carefully resist-dyed to produce a two-tone effect within a single thread. We've also received USN chambray shirts and 1942 wide chinos from Buzz Rickson, a full restock of 100% cotton Sugar Cane jeans, and just in time for summer, pocket tees in two colors and plain 2-pack tees in four colors from Whitesville.
