beautiful

Those are the buttons that Unbranded uses (used?), so they are probably a shorter or limited run.

Does anyone know any online stockist outside of Japan, carrying 130s in size 3 (overdyed or rinsed). 

Japanese websites tends to sell at 2x the price.

There is a used pair with a TON of life left on Grailed for a song.

Oh man, that is beautiful!

Next denim trend!

Got some 130's now. Top Notch.

I'll post mine when I get them back on.

Amazing as always.

anyone interested in a indigo tezomeya size 185?  I sent them an e-mail 2 days before the shirt was to ship and they didnt get it in time grrrr.  I dont want to waist money shipping a god damn shirt back to Japan so if anyone wants it, I will pay shipping in the USA.  Otherwise I will be forced to wait in line at the Post Office like a bitch haha!!

How much?

Just ordered a new belt and wallet, can't wait to have a belt that actually fits.

Maybe not as nice as the newer offerings, but beautiful to me!

About 8 months of wear, off and on on some woad dyes.

^thank you! the leather looks great. You'd be surprised how much stretch you can get out of it if you need- try greasing it a bit then giving it a stretch. The nuclear option (which I've done, and it worked well) is to soak the belt in cool water for a couple of hours, then stretch it out- depending on the starting size you could get up to an inch this way. Let it dry out slowly at room temperature (too warm and it will crack) then give it a lot of grease to replace what was lost in the water. I reckon one of these ways you'll at least get it comfy on the end hole, and maybe bring it in one hole. You'll probably darken the leather quite a bit, but personally that's a plus. If you give it a try let us know how you get on!

The one hole is jut a tiny bit snug so I'll give it a go with the grease! Then we'll see the water test. Thanks for the tips, I'll be posting my woad 130s soon, maybe after a wash. Excited to start wearing my canvas barge coat soon, once the Canadian winter goes away!

Finally got my hands on a belt. A tad on the small side, and I'm afraid it won't be stretching any time soon due to thickness. 

Just snagged this beautiful jacket, and waiting for a new Tender watch strap. Addictive William.

Simply beautiful to see the process. Thanks for the virtual tour, the new pieces look fantastic.

Tending to my Tender's. I guess I'm really hard on belt loops, 3 were blown and one was completely off. Wearing them hard though.

Breaking in nicely. I've gotten so many compliments on them

Oh wow!

Finally got a pair of 129 dip dyed. Can't wait to wear them every day.

Got my 24oz N&Fs in the mail yesterday! Here's a couple of picture!

Have to rep my city with N&F! More pictures in the blog down below!

where did you score these?

Can someone recommend me some of the lower $ denim that would be acceptable? Is Unbranded the cheapest, whats a step up from there?

also, this time around, straps are available separately. The straps has a few improvements on the original, now they're cut from oak bark-tanned leather rather than wattle-tanned (not an improvement exactly, but still nice), and the hardware is a bit chunkier, solid brass, sand-cast in England. The reverse is silver foil-stamped:

So happy the straps are available separately! I ordered one somewhere else and the leather was so thin it broke after one day.

how low would you go, shipped to canada?

I use a juki lu-563. Most walking foot industrial machines handle leather with ease. I would recommend joining leatherworker.net, they have a whole forum devoted to sewing machines. Most people here don't use machines...

thanks. will check it out.
