I wouldn't mind having a couple shirts with that cutaway collar but I don't like how it seems to be on 75% of their shirts this new season. Hopefully it's just a phase. I prefer the original TFH collar.

The Flat Head always delivers its winter flannels and Native Check shirts in December. We affectionately call this the "Santa Drop" due to its timing and level of excitement this delivery generates among all of us at the store and among our customers too.

The timeless block check flannels with herringbone weave reappear in a navy/grey colourway. The western shirt features mother of pearl snaps and a smaller collar compared with previous iterations. The work shirt version has a cutaway collar design this year. The fabric is brushed on the inside for warmth and feel appeal. The herringbone weave gives these shirts a tremendous depth of  texture. What's more, they hold their shape years down the line and look like the much loved wardrobe piece they soon become. We also have re-stocks of the classic black/red buffalo check.

Shop The Flat Head

The Native Check shirts are available in western and work shirt cuts in  red/ivory and blue/ivory respectively. The intricately woven fabric holds great depth in design and texture which only a shuttle loom can produce. These mid-weight, slim silhouetted and soft fabric shirt make for an excellent layering pieces in colder weather whilst making a lighter alternative to heavier flannels come the spring.

New from 3sixteen, and a great complement to their layering options, is the heavyweight crew neck sweater. Constructed from the same 500gsm Canadian made fleece as the hoodies, these come with the added functionality of hidden handwarmer pockets in the side seams. Available in all 3 colourways – heather grey, black and oatmeal.

We have filled any sizing gaps across the range of 3sixteen jeans and also the excellent heavyweight hoodies in all 3 colourways. If you are not familiar with these hoodies, they are an extremely versatile choice. Heavyweight, soft, warm and comfortable, they are cut with a slim fit which enables them to be easily layered under a denim or leather jacket, whilst also looking great as a piece on their own.

Slub masters Pure Blue Japan have delivered some essential restocks of both Type II denim jackets and a range of jeans.

The popular 18 oz. denim jacket is back in stock in all sizes. This fabric never ceases to amaze us for its texture and depth of character. The jacket is sanforized so will not shrink. It features a sheepskin leather patch, riveted pockets and iron buttons.

The Deep Indigo denim jacket has also made a return. Both warp and weft have been dyed indigo which results in a a deep hue and high contrast fades over time.

Taking inspiration from vintage woollen athletic jackets, Stevenson Overall Co shows what can be achieved when you are not scared to use some ingenuity and imagination in your fabric construction. The outer shell is wool, whilst the inner face is a super soft brushed cotton fleece. This combination allows you the warmth and insulation of wool, with the comfort and softness of cotton fleece.The hem, collar & cuffs are ribbed (check out the cut of the cuffs) and there are two handwarmer pockets to the outside, also lined in brushed cotton. Warmth, comfort and style combined, available in olive or navy.

Keeping with the theme of pushing the boundaries of fabric, SOC also reinvent the Souvenir jacket with the Rising Dragon. Utilising a custom made indigo twill cotton, SOC has saved the traditional rayon for both the lining (which is indigo dyed) and embroidery.

And what embroidery it is too. Smaller dragons adorn the chest and sleeve while the main image on the back depicts a rising dragon. The matt fabric keeps this a toned down option for those who love the style of a souvenir jacket and their striking and evocative designs.

The latest shirt from The Flat Head delivers a new level of luxury and comfort. Softer than any flannel we have ever had our hands on, and with a relaxed yet trim ‘work’ cut, this is a shirt to wear forever. Such is the quality they do not shrink or lose shape over time. They just get better and better with wear.

It is brushed on the inside, has a herringbone weave, cutaway collar and straight pockets. Offered in a contemporary charcoal, we have no doubt that this shirt will rightfully be regarded as a TFH classic.

We are very happy to be included in an exclusive release with 3sixteen and Self Edge. The Final Hoodie is exactly what the name implies – this is the last hoodie you will ever want or need. The outer shell is the signature heavyweight construction and there the similarities end. The hood is lined with a waterproof fabric and 3M reflective paracords allow you to pull tight for full element protection. The kangaroo pockets are discreetly zipped for security and an extra Velcro closure phone pocket has been added to the inside breast. Just to make sure, it is finished with a thermal lining throughout.
 
Is there anything that could possibly improve the Final Hoodie? Well, yes… From the master jewellers at Good Art Hlywd, their contribution to this collaboration comes in the form of a pair of solid, sterling silver rope locks for the paracords which can be purchased in addition to the hoodie. Engraved along the sides and double faced with the Good Art emblem to one side and the 3sixteen crossed pick axes to the other, we can’t imagine a better or more appropriate adornment to an item of men's clothing.

Just in from Rogue Territory are the 16.75 oz. SK super slim jeans. They use a pure indigo, vertical slub denim made in Okayama. Woven with a looser weave, these heavier weight jeans are able to soften and relax after a handful of wears, whilst retaining the texture and character of the slubby fabric. Examples abound of the amazing fade potential of this denim.

Momotaro Jeans is a welcome addition to our stable of brands. The thinking behind Momotaro can be summed up with their own maxim – ‘Made by hand without compromise’. Founded in the birthplace of Japanese denim, Kojima, Okayama in 2006, their attention to construction, detail and dedication to quality has seen them go from strength to strength. ‘Momotaro’ or “Peach Boy’, is a Japanese fable for adults passed down through generations. In the legend, the birth of Momotaro signifies rejuvenation and represents the dreams of a small island nation to expand and cross the vast oceans. As a brand, Momotaro are in the process of bringing this to life with garments that transcend passing fads and fashions but always retain style and are recognised worldwide as being of superior quality and material. 


Fitting perfectly with our store and ethos, these first arrivals serve as a real statement of intent…
 
The Heavy Indigo Dobby Work Shirt has been woven to a sturdy heavyweight using a traditional dobby loom. The weave utilises deep indigo dyed threads to both the warp and weft giving a subtle but definite depth of texture and tone. This will look better and better with dedicated wear. The seams are triple stitched for durability and the buttons are urea. With a straight yoke to the back, this is a work cut which avoids being boxy.

Shop Momotaro Jeans

The Indigo Dobby Work Shirt is a lighter weight option, where the loom has been set to focus on the intricacy of the weave. The pattern reveals more depth at each level of observation. In the same work cut, this version comes with brass buttons.

The Sashiko Spring Coat is a real beauty that combines style and fabrics to create a perfect seasonal transition piece. Sashiko or "stabbing stitch" is traditionally used as repairing stitch for fabrics. The technique has been adapted to create clothing, providing as it does texture with breathability, weight without bulk. Indigo dyed, this comes complete with corozo nut buttons and chambray lined cuffs.

For jeans, we have chosen to introduce the 0405 and the 0306. Both use the highest quality Zimbabwe cotton, famed for its extra-long fibres, which deliver superior shaping and comfort. Both include all the features you would expect from the highest quality Japanese denim – hidden rivets to the rear pockets, folded belt loops, copper rivets, iron buttons & also the signature Momotaro peach inseam stitch.

The 0405 are on the heavier side of medium weight, coming in at 15.75oz. The denim has been sanforized to remove shrinkage and retains a great feel to the hand. The cut is a high tapered, which provides room through the top block and thigh, whilst tapering down to a narrower hem. Ideal for cyclists, lifters, sportsmen or anyone looking for a little extra comfort.

The 0306 are heading towards the lighter weight of the spectrum at 12 oz, making them the go to pair for warmer situations and ideally suited to the tight tapered cut. A great contemporary fit that loses none of the traditional details.

Completing the line-up we have these henleys; firstly a short sleeve in super soft cotton with a 3 button placket and undeniably flattering fit. Available in white.
The long sleeve version is a heavier weight affair, with a herring bone type woven lining throughout the body and sleeve. The cut is slightly looser to enable them to be worn as an over layer as well as a standalone. Available in white and a grey melange.

As always Rogue Territory epitomises modern styling with heritage craftsmanship. Their first offering for spring just emphasises the extent to which this is woven into the brand's DNA.

The new Field Jacket comes in two iterations. Firstly, in a Japanese custom Indigo Selvedge Canvas. This 12 oz. fabric has been indigo dyed, then rinsed to remove any shrink and to soften up the material and improve the drape. Cut to sit at hip length as with a traditional field jacket, this works well as soon as spring is upon us.

The same style is also available in a rather special and much anticipated Camo Canvas. Lighter in weight but not in function, this water repellent and waxed fabric clocks in at 6 oz. Perfect portable protection for all but the heaviest of storms. Both options come with branded feather buttons, 3 outer and one inner pocket.

Shop Rogue Territory Field Jackets

The Traveler Shirt uses the same rinsed Indigo Selvedge Canvas as the Field jacket. Slim fitting with triple needle chainstitch construction, chest pocket and urea buttons, this impeccably cut piece will age and fade with a ton of character.

Once again, a lighter weight version is available, this time In the shape of the Jumper Indigo Gingham shirt. Intricately woven from a lightweight, Japanese 100% cotton-linen blend, the blue threads of the plaid pattern are indigo dyed and the shirt features a double needle French seam construction. Closer inspection reveals a real neppy aspect to the fabric, which all goes to add to the personality of this piece.

From Iron Heart we have the IH-777OD overdyed jeans. This is their super slim cut, in a 14 oz. selvedge denim. The Indigo threads have been overdyed black, resulting in a unique fade as the indigo is gradually revealed through the black.

Finally, a full on drop of Effector has arrived. Made to the exacting standards peculiar to this brand, and using the highest grade materials, we have a range of new styles for your wonder and delight including Blues Driver, Fuzz-s, Satori and Spring.  From small titanium wire rims to the thickest black acetate and all things in between, this rock n roll rebel brand never disappoints.

Just in from 3sixteen is the highly anticipated and very limited release M59 Parka in collaboration with Alpha Industries. In the classic 'fishtail' cut, this impeccably crafted piece is made from a custom 100% indigo herringbone twill fabric woven in Japan. The M-59 is based on the historic M-51 Fishtail Parka, which was heavy in the mod scene - a culture renowned for its clear symbiosis of both music and style which is perfectly illustrated here by 3sixteen's 15th birthday milestone piece. Velcro throat latch, snorkel hood, woven drawcords, leather stays and branded Alpha Industries two way zip all contribute to making this every bit as functional as it is stylish.

0105SP while obviously tapered is not ”high” by any stretch of imagination, and as far as I can see Okayama don’t call it such either: ”narrow tapered”, as they put it, seems pretty accurate.

0405 is not really new, introduced in 2016, and it’s for western markets only. Compare the measurements and you’ll see they are very different cuts.

We decided to use the term Momotaro uses so that customers looking for these jeans would find them easily with us.

I agree the rise is not super high. However, one person's high is another one's medium and low to someone else. After 6 years selling jeans I've realised rises are the most subjective aspect of sizing. I hope our reputation for accurate size charts helps customers decide whether this is the fit or them.

Do notice, though, that I said the 0105SP is not ”high tapered”; you don’t even carry this model, so there was no criticism directed at your descriptions.  You are talking about the 0405, which, as per your impeccably taken measurements, does indeed sport a relatively high rise among its peers.

A new boot make-up from Viberg always creates a real sense of anticipation at the store. The latest arrival is no exception. Built on the 1035 last, with a partially structured toe, Viberg uses a truly beautiful ‘Mocha Vintage’ leather from Horween. This is the classic 7 eyelet, double stitch down, service boot style, lined with kip leather - an homage to many officer boots throughout WWII. It looks fantastic now and will clearly develop a unique depth of patina and character with wear.

New from Iron Heart is the Non-Fade Super Black Trucker in their signature 21oz. denim. Based on the instantly recognisable ‘type 3’ styling, Iron Heart has added the always popular hand warmer pockets and a little extra length through the body as an alternative to the usual short and boxy silhouette. Both the warp and weft are reactive dyed, so this will hold its colour well and true through much wear.

Nine Lives has absolutely smashed it with the ultimate transition jacket in the shape of the ‘Skin of Cthulhu’ sashiko bomber. This piece feels like something you hope will exist one day in the future, once materials & technology catch up with the imagination. The body is a custom Sashiko combining all the alchemy - indigo dyed, heat blackened and finally waxed. This results in a water repellent fabric, with a graphite sheen that will crock blue with wear as the indigo reveals itself. The lining is a rendering in thick, vintage rayon of HP Lovecrafts cosmic entity, Cthulhu designed by Florian Bertmer.

Good Art Hlywd is the iterative product of a game of aesthetic oneupmanship that founder and designer Josh Warner has been playing against himself for three decades. Working in only fine metals in proprietary alloys, Good Art Hlywd creates a range of metal goods (and precious stones) so punchy and road-tested that traditional categories like “jewellery” and “accessories” are simply not up to the task. 

Josh has marshaled top-of-the-line machines and knowhow traditionally reserved for only the finest European houses in service of a celebration of American ingenuity, gumption, and manufacturing ethos. The result is a brand manufactured entirely under one roof in Los Angeles that sets the bar in terms of both attitude and execution that very few brands, let alone artists, can ever clear. 

Most of the Good Art range is only available for purchase in store. We can arrange special commissions managed via email. There are some exceptions. The best ever designed keychain is by Good Art Hlywd. It is known as the Belt Loop Buddy and available in a 100% polished brass or a combination of brass and .925 sterling silver. Boutonnieres are also available for purchase online.
Any items available online will show their price. All other items will be clearly marked "Only available in store"

The Olive Whipcord Type III jacket by Iron Heart is a very welcome hybrid of the popular N1 Whipcord Deck and well-tailored Trucker jackets. The super tough 11 oz. fabric is a perfect weight for the warmer months and comes in olive that contrasts well with indigo and black denim. The collar, cuffs and pockets are lined with brown corduroy. The hand-warming pockets double up as internal storage pockets capacious enough to carry a large smart phone and wallet.

Pure Blue Japan has launched a new denim limited to summer 2018. The 1144 is a slubby 14 oz. fabric with natural indigo warp and black reactive dyed weft. The jeans can be worn smart and dressy and the clean lines are finished off with a navy “shoai” leaf emblem on the back pocket. Reactive dyed black yarns will also fade so expect some high contrast evolution over time.

Each season PBJ never ceases to impress us with its new custom fabrics. The lightweight sweatshirt in various iterations is heavier than a T shirt but lighter than a sweatshirt. The fabric is developed in Wakayama and rope-dyed in Okayama. The round hem style comes in crew neck and long-sleeve Henley versions, the latter with indigo dyed chambray buttons. The Military Henleys feature metal buttons and available in both long and short sleeves.
