Has anyone been able to get their hands on the new XX-019 fabric? I was about to pull the trigger, but being a new fabric, I wanted to see other peoples input before going for it. It's PBJ, so i know there will probably be a lot of slubby (and neppy with this new fabric) goodness, but the pics on OD didn't show a lot of texture when compared to their pictures of the XX-013.
Lots of nep in the fabric and the x019 will open up PBJ jeans to those who need extra room on the thigh compared with existing fits with a taper.

Anyone know if it's possible to shrink PBJ raw denim a full size below tagged size in the waist?
Most jeans measure 1" more than tagged size when raw. This inch will go with the first soak but will stretch back out.

Question on the shirts sizing - does it follow the traditional Japanese sizing patterns where a L is a 3 or so, or is closer to the Flat Head/FJB sizing where a 42 is a Japanese L or a 3?
Going by the measurements of the shirts it should be the latter, by going by fit pics it should be the former, otherwise it seems too loose.
It is hard to give a definitive answer here as depending on fabric shirts can vary in sizing.
I'm normally a 42 in FH shirts but occasionally a 44. Likewise, I am sometimes a size 3 in UES but more often a size 4.

If you feel like treating yourself to something unique as a reward for surviving Christmas and New Year or even 2016 itself then look no further than the first drop of 2017: The Copeland Shirt in Dust Beige Rough Out from Indigofera.
Individually numbered, from a very limited run of 38, this is a heavyweight piece that will stand the test of time. Thick, unlined cowhide, cut in the ‘Copeland’ style (straight cut but less boxy than the Fargo) in an evocative desert beige. It's hard to do anything but admire.
Heavy duty press studs and riveted side seams are the only hardware this shirt needs and a subtle stitch pattern detail on each breast pocket tops off the whole idea perfectly.Shop Indigofera Copeland Shirt - Dust Beige Roughout
We have now introduced the "CT" jeans from 3sixteen. The Classic Tapered has a high rise, room in the top block and a taper from the knee down. We are carrying these jeans across the three core custom woven Japanese selvedge denim styles 3sixteen offers:

Thanks.
Will it fade to a more turquoise colour then like I have seen with some pants?
I understand, that there are a lot of factors to the indigo dyeing.
Perhaps the turquoise colour comes more out with hank dyed fabric?
You definitely can see lighter hues of indigo from hank -dyed denim.

Nice jackets.
Just to understand this better:"The 17 oz selvedge denim by Iron Heart which uses organic cotton and natural indigo is now available in a Type 3 trucker jacket."
Does it mean, that the jacket is dyed only in natural indigo, or that the dye is a mix of synthetic and natural indigo?
This denim is rope-dyed with natural indigo rather than the more commonly used synthetic variation

We are really excited to end 2016 by introducing a new and in our opinion very exciting brand to the store.
Nine Lives is, in their own words, "a symphony of furiously dedicated craftsmen, all playing something weird and feral."
The brand places Japanese fabrics and dye-stuffs, from exclusive jacquard weaves to natural indigo sashiko, in dialogue with contemporary patterning, making pieces that are elegant and not just a little dark.
Made in Japan, Nine Lives calls on worldwide talent, whether it's the sources of their cotton or the tannery for their yak leather. The Japanese word "kodawari", meaning something like obsessive passion and attention to detail, is clear here...even in their tags, with the brand lettering redolent of the New York punk scene and framed in a golden rectangle.
With more pieces arriving in 2017 we launch this brand with the exquisitely tailored Leather and Sashiko Varsity Jackets.To introduce to you the rather unique mindset that belongs to the brand ‘Nine Lives’, we have chosen something of a showstopper.
A stadium jacket like no other, this piece sees the union between a hand-dyed indigo sashiko fabric body, pigment-dyed leather arms and thick ribbed collar, (zipped) cuffs and hem. As always with a product of this calibre, it’s not just the immediately obvious that elevates this above your everyday offerings. Closer inspection reveals refinements such as the pockets, where the leather dives deep into the inside as opposed to being merely ‘trimming’, shoulder seams that flow perfectly into the arm, following the natural shape of your form and buttons where the centre ‘fills in’ upon closure.
Uncommon materials and fabrics are the norm here - the quilted lining contains a taffeta thinsulate. This holds its shape better and longer than other materials and has the benefit of providing warmth without excess bulk.
Nine lives has an unusual, interesting – indeed intriguing - story and persona that appeals right from the start and demands further investigation. We feel that these jackets are a fine example of this and look forward to sharing the voyage of discovery with you. Hold on tight…Shop Nine Lives Leather & Sashiko Varsity Jacket - Black

The 17 oz selvedge denim by Iron Heart which uses organic cotton and natural indigo is now available in a Type 3 trucker jacket.
The sleeves and body are slightly longer than your average Type 3. The jacket has hand-warming pockets which can be used internally for storing wallets and phones etc. The jacket also features tonal constructional stitching for a more minimalist look. The denim is unsanforized but one-washed. It will shrink a further 0.5" on the chest and in both body and sleeve length.

3sixteen combines both a winning fit with a great fabric to produce the Black Selvedge Chino. The cut allows for room on the thigh without being overly loose with a gradual taper to the hem resulting in a sharp and modern straight tapered silhouette.

Just in time for Christmas, Pure Blue Japan has delivered two versions of the classic type 2 denim jacket and some new jeans.
The KS-103-WID is a 16 oz deep indigo jean. The KS is knubbed selvedge which refers to the slubby texture of the irregular weave. The depth of indigo is achieved by rope dyeing the yarns in a process known as ‘kasuri’ or ‘grazing’ using various shades of indigo, hence the ‘ID’ in the description, which stands for Irregular Dye. These are available in the slim tapered 013 cut and will offer a high contrasting, unique fade potential.Shop Pure Blue Japan KS-013-WID Slim Tapered Jeans
The new PBJ 18 oz. denim jacket uses the same super slubby denim as the jeans in the same weight.
One difference is that this fabric has been sanforized to enable an easier fitting right off the bat. PBJ uses its unrivalled know-how to manage this process without losing any of the fabric's renowned character. The denim is rope dyed indigo and the jacket features riveted pockets, iron buttons and a deerskin leather patch.Shop Pure Blue Japan 18 oz. Denim Jacket
Completing the new triumvirate is a welcome restock of the Deep Indigo Denim Jacket. All the detailing is exactly the same as on the 18oz version. However, this is in a 13 oz. fabric with both indigo warp and weft yarns which provide an impressively intense hue.

Aren't the 3012 true to tagged waist size pre wash? I was trying to buy a pair awhile back and that's what I was finding anyway.
Yes they are one inch bigger on the waist than tagged (with top and bottom waistbands aligned and measured at full width & doubled)

We only ever buy what we love ourselves for the store which is why our inventory is so focussed. We would never choose anything just to fill a gap. There are some pieces, however, that we simply fall in love with and that's what happened in Nagano, home and HQ of The Flat Head in the "Alps of Japan" back in May of this year.
The Native Blanket Boa Jacket is so strong in many ways; style, fabric and of course "The Flat Head Way" construction details. The blanket outer shell is custom woven with a native pattern. The jacket has a thinsulate filling for warmth without the need for a bulky alternative and then lined with rayon (traditionally used on Hawaiian shirts from the 1950s) The faux sheepskin shearling boa collar is exquisitely soft. The lower hem, cuffs and pockets are trimmed with black leather.
Shop The Flat Head Native Blanket Boa Jacket
Staying native it was time to introduce a classic Flat Head Native Western shirt. 100% cotton and slim fitting. The fabric is full of texture due to the intricate weave and the shirt uses mother of pearl snaps. The size offerings now go up to a 48.(XXL)

We also added the silver feather to our range of Flat Head saddle leather bracelets.

We have also restocked the black waxed canvas STJs. Like the new indigo version this has a 2 way-pull zipper.

The black Waxed Flesh service boot from Viberg is a unique build for Rivet & Hide on the 2030 last and keeping the toe cap plain.
This roughout leather develops an incredible patina with scuffing over time. Alternatively, some wearers will re-wax the boots to restore them to pristine condition. The waxed leather makes the boots very water resistant and they also come with a Dainite rubber sole.1 -
Stevenson Overall constantly pushes the boundaries in style and construction. The "Bounty Hunter" is 100% cotton, dobby loomed fabric and has been woven with an intense texture reminiscent of vintage Mexican blankets. Sand-casted concho buttons and copper riveted hand pockets to the front complete this traditional yet thoroughly modern design.
The Stevenson Roebuck moleskin coat is another great example of bringing the country to the city. Impeccably cut, the custom fabric is soft yet windproof. It is blanket lined for warmth and comfort with a wool pile boa collar and corduroy inner cuffs and pocket flaps. The fabric has the feel of soft suede.
Also in are the Jackson 320 slim tapered jeans based on the 727 La Jolla fit but using a 13.5 oz sanforized selvedge denim.
the decorative pocket stitch work serves the purpose of reinforcing all pocket openings.

Hey Guys,
i really want to buy a PBJ Jeans (like this one http://rivetandhide.com/shop/brands/pure-blue-japan/pure-blue-japan-ks-013-16-oz-slim-tapered-jeans.html?___store=eu_en), but im wondering which size i should pick up, because most of those jeans are unsanforized and need to be soaked. somewhere i read, that ive to pick up one size bigger than im normally wearin. normally im wearin a size 34. so do i need to pick up a 36? Would be awesome if somebody could help me!
The best idea is to measure a couple of pairs of jeans that fit you well on the waist (this is how we do it http://rivetandhide.com/measurement-guide#jeans-section ) and share what those measurements are. From there it should be easy to advise you on sizing. Most PBJ denim shrinks just 1" and stretches back out again so if a raw size chart states 34" that's more or less where they will end up post soak and stretch.

From 3sixteen we can introduce the olive hunting shirt. Inspired by heritage details, it keepings such features as the flat rear yoke, large placket covered front pockets and metal buttons throughout. This super soft, mid-weight flannel has been custom woven in Japan with a slimmer, more tailored cut than a standard work shirt.

We also see a welcome return to 3sixteen's shaggy flannels in the slim work shirt silhouette, this time in red/blue & blue/orange colourways. This Japanese flannel is brushed on the outside to create the softest shirt you will own. It comes with double chainstitch run-offs and enamel coated metal buttons designed to chip and wear with use.

Decent headwear is an essential part of any cold weather outfit and 3sixteen has hit the mark with this season's Watch caps. Available in either indigo or a black/indigo combo these caps are 100% heavyweight knitted cotton, constructed in Japan. They have a subtle, pewter concho pin, which is removable should you require a more utilitarian look (or indeed, wish to wear the pin elsewhere).

Continuing with the autumn/winter drops we have new pieces from the best of the brands with a more urban slant. Both take their inspiration for quality, style and construction from the past, while keeping an eye clearly on the present – 3sixteen and Rogue Territory.
First up from RGT we have the blanket lined canvas trench. Using a 10 oz. water repellent canvas and incorporating a wool lining with blanket stitch detailing, this ¾ trench sits mid-thigh giving a smart silhouette. The sleeves are satin lined and the jacket features a button vent to the rear and covered front placket. Four pockets – two inside, each containing a smaller concealed pocket – and two outside, welted, with storm flaps that can be tucked inside for a sleeker look. This is a smart, stylish, yet fully functional piece to deal with the wet and the wind.Shop Rogue Territory Blanket Lined Canvas Trench Coat
A straight up classic is RGT's blanket lined Ranger jacket. Made from a 14.5oz Nihon Menpu selvedge denim in indigo the ‘ranger’ style jacket (inspired by the Baracuta G9) is topped off with an exclusive 100% wool lining from the Fairbault woolen Mills in Minnesota. This blanket lining continues into the handwarmer pockets, while the sleeves are lined with black satin. The perfect coming together of the best of Japanese and American fabrics & know how.
Shop Rogue Territory Blanket Lined Ranger Jacket
Following on from the insanely popular ‘work’ version, The Flat Head Blue/Black block check flannel is now available in the western cut which is slightly trimmer through the waist with angled shoulder/back seams, diagonal pockets and mother-of-pearl snap fastening. Shuttle-loomed and brushed on the inside, this heavyweight cotton flannel is a great way to stay warm and comfortable in style.

Earlier this year we introduced the Stevenson Overall denim Cody shirt with a distinctive front yoke in the form of a buffalo horn. This season sees the indigo plaid Cody shirt release using a 100% cotton fabric in an indigo plaid and very soft but durable seersucker weave. We have also restocked the original denim version. Again, the diagonally cut cuffs and sleeve placket reveal that exquisite Stevenson attention to detail.

The Stevenson Hilts chinos have been a real hit with out customers for its winning slim fit and shuttle loomed textured fabric. Along with the khaki restocks they are now available in navy.

Earlier this year we introduced the remarkable 18 oz. selvedge denim from Pure Blue Japan in the slim tapered fit. It is now available in the slim straight XX-18oz-005. This is a dialled up version of the signature 14 oz denim with turbo-charged slubbiness. It has tonnes of texture. You can literally see the indigo clinging to the yarns when you hold this fabric up to the sunlight.

PBJ has introduced a new "vintage denim". The VTG is lighter in colour, similar to raw denim from the 1970s.
The fabric is 14oz in weight, smooth rather than slubby. There is plenty of texture in this neppy weave with different shades of indigo already alive on the surface straight off the loom.
We are offering this denim in the XX-003-VTG. This is PBJ's regular/straight fit.1
