Samurai, Sugarcane, Oni Denim in NYC!!!!

[savage]

I just stumbled upon one of the craziest Denim stores in Manhatten. It just opened like 2 days ago!!

Anyway, they carry Samurai, Sugar Cane, and Oni Denim. I'm sure there are some other obscure brands too, but all are premium straight from japan.

The name of the shop is 'Blue in Green'

Located at:

8 Greene St.

(Bet. the Cloak store and Canal)

I don't think there is even a sign up or anything cause the place is so new.

One more thing, the owners name is Yuji - tell him Brett, from DressCodes, sent you.

Happy hunting and shopping...

[ddohnggo]

wow, sounds pretty great. what were the prices like?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

Going there on Saturday-------------thanks for the heads up--------------hossa!!!

[greentea]

Ahhhhh.

I'm going up to the city in two weeks. Leave somethin' for me!!

[HEWSINATOR]

This is very interesting, if NY has a retailer for Japanese denim now, in 2006, then my city of Edmonton should be getting one, well, let see, by at least 2020.

[cheapmuthafukr]

yeah... i figure ill be seeing sugarcanes here in jacksonville around...... 2047

shit...

[greentea]

you canadians should go buy all the stock they have and bring it back up north.

Denim Bar needs to get some more japanese stuff. Having a samurai or sugar cane retailer close would be sick.

Easier said than done. Mauro even mentioned that he would have to charge way too much for Sugarcanes, which is why he is not carrying them. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if this store in NYC charged an arm and a leg for their stock. You're better off going through a middle man in Japan.

[greentea]

yup,let us know the pricing see how they gauge it.

ha i know, it's wishful thinking i guess. Luckily there are forums like this to help out haha

[doctorgnar]

Lots of good stuff, but looking kind of pricey. Sugarcanes are $315-330.

[HEWSINATOR]

For unwashed models?

Man, remember when they were what, 165, from HP?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i just want to try things on, check out details in person, just handle the merch. throw it on the floor and roll around in it.

[darkanimal]

hahaha. I do that too, with no intentions of buying.

[red]

$300 for like the standard models? like the 47 and 66? isnt it cheaper on historypreservation?

[savage]

I think the stock ranged from 300 - 350 and up... but you get to handle the merch instead of guessing online. Plus, the guy has to bring it over here, and mark it up for himself.

dude's gotta make a little money to survive.

[MikeN]

It was crazy finally seeing some of these jeans in real life. I don't know much about Sugarcane and Samurai, since I basically only wear skin tight jeans, but they seem really awesome. So stiff and heavy.

[PG2G]

What other kinds of stuff do they sell?

[xcoldricex]

holy shit that's a lot of money. well i guess you gotta respect him though.

[asfberg]

no it's like $315 for the edo ai 40501A and okininawa 40301A, not the 47's

they may get 47's at some point

they have duckdiggers, S5000VX, pure blue AI (and others), oni and some john bull with more stock coming

very nice shop, very nice people

prices are reasonable considering

being able to see this stuff in person and try it on makes the markup worth it (but i'm always siding with shopowners, aren't i?)

edit - this is no dig at xcoldricex, i think he does a great service

Edited by asfberg on May 25, 2006 at 08:10 PM

[PG2G]

Wow, that's awesome. I agree with you, it is worth the markup. I kinda hope that people don't use it just to try things on and then go hope on celga to order.

[asfberg]

well, unless you're in ny or visiting ny and can go to the store you may as well use xcoldricex and take your chances ...

but i liked going to the store

i learned stuff

like the SC40301A's are super nice, but are just a tiny bit too short

and the pure blue AI are unbelievably textured and slubby - super cool - fit's a little funny but they seem to want a good amount of breaking in (i remember my jomon's were a little funny fitting in the beginning but now i get girls commenting on how good they look. not on the color but the fit ...)

[Guest daytrade]

asfberg, how much were the Pure Blue Ai-001's? Thanks

Edited by daytrade on May 25, 2006 at 09:00 PM

[PG2G]

Hopefully I won't be disappointed by the length of the AI when they arrive in the mail. That'd be a heart breaker.

[asfberg]

dt - not cheap, like $600, but less than jomon's

pg2g - they were long enough for me, think you'll be ok

Edited by asfberg on May 25, 2006 at 11:39 PM

[asfberg]

and they'll have some S0500XX at some point in june

greentea, you there?
