Trophy Clothing

[BlackPig]

New addition to my Trophy collection.

 

Storm Vest.  Very warm and kinda stiff ATM which I hope will soften with wear.  The material is a combination of wool, cotton and I believe moleskin.

We're getting one of these in for a friend of mine, great item, the blanket lining is insane.

[BlackPig]

I am blown away by the details from Trophy Clothing.  Will try and post more pics, hopefully some fit pics too.

Is it possible to order directly from their site (through email?) Or do I have to go through proxy?

[Megatron1505]

You can order directly, through proxy, or drop me a PM.

[BlackPig]

^^ There are a few stores on Rakuten that stock Trophy Clothing - no need to proxy.  Move clothing stock more items than others.  The Storm Vest I recently ordered from Black Dallas.

 

I should state that I am not getting any commission from stores on Rakuten.

Hmm confused about their sizes, i need a japanese XL.

 

Would that be 17?   & 42?

 

They got some really nice stuff..

It's both, 17 and 42 are both XL. Confusingly they measure in 2 different ways depending on the item.

I asked Egawa-San to send me some pictures of both of their denim types after they have been broken in, as they are VERY different when new.

 

The first one is their flagship Dirt Denim, this is a very loose weave, rough, slubby and hairy with a great variation of colour and the weft clearly visible. Absolutely full of character and charm, similar to the old style Samurai Jin denim.

 

When fully broken is it gives this amazing vintage fade, not the high contrast you see with some denims, just a beautiful authentic all over fade.

 

 

This second one is called Garage Denim, it is smooth and hard when new, weighing in at a little over 15oz and is one of the very few "Kibabta" loom state denims still produced. This is a definite shrink to fit, but has a feel and texture quite unlike most other raw denims.

 

When fully broken in it also gives an amazing vintage fade pattern, Egawa-San has used only denims which will fade in this way as he is a huge fan of vintage, rather than sharp contrast fading. I feel the same way.

 

 

Hopefully this gives you more of an insight into what the Trophy denim will become with some wear.

I received a pair of the Trophy Garage Denim to check out today, this is the the raw "kibata" loom state denim, slimish straight cut with a Talon zipper.

 

The following pictures were taken by me earlier to illustrate the difference between the two Trophy indigo denims....

Unsanforized?

[Megatron1505]

Garage is unsanforized, Dirt is one washed.

Mega what do you mean by 'kibata' denim? Also,love how both denim are different but stunning in their own way.

[Megatron1505]

It's a term for raw, loom state denim.....

ah right thanks!

[Megatron1505]

No worries man, it has a bout 2cm worth of shrink in all directions I believe, will let you know when I perform a shrink test.

[spacey]

Awesome! Cant wait to see the post soak fit.

Might take a while for the post soak fit as we need this pair for photos and promotions etc But will get around to it as soon as possible.

[Megatron1505]

Thanks HG, my preference is for the Dirt Denim, but both are absolutely stunning, great denims and really versatile cuts with superior detailing.

Thanks man, I need to get back on the blog, been so busy with other stuff that it always slips my mind. I'm actually going to write a piece on these denims this week, and got a piece to do on a leather supplier I'm working with too (Tush Kawakami of Yokohama).

[Megatron1505]

Another Trophy Denim, this is their "Blackie" denim and it is, well.......black. The texture is more like the Garage denim, but like Dirt Denim it is one washed, so not much shrinkage left in it at all.

 

The warp threads are dyed black, the weft are dyed with a brown cast dye meaning it should fade with a slight brown tinge to it.

So tempted to cop a pair. A guy came into my work place completely in Trophy Clothing maybe 4 months ago. I had no clue what it was when I asked him. He was decked out in one of the jackets (can't recall at all) and a pair of the overalls w/ the knee thingies.

@Mega: Is the 1605 a straight fit? Also are the overalls more of a relaxed fit?

[Megatron1505]

1605 is a (very) slightly tapered straight fit, basically as straight as you get with Trophy, the overalls are a little more relaxed fit.

 

The strange thing I find with Trophy is that the difference between the majority of their denim fits is not huge, but it can make quite a difference, there is a real science behind how Egawa-San structures each kind of fit with just the slightest of alterations to make maximum impact.

[ksisouk]

That was a quick reply. Did your dirt denim stretch a lot? I want to go TTS (36), but the thigh isn't as loose as I want it to be.

[Megatron1505]

Maybe an inch or so, not masses to be honest, but then again mine fit as I wanted them to so the denim did not have to stretch.

[LC_Miey]

this denim looks awesome, would love to see some fit pictures. Considering to get for next my purchase
