I think that looks great but those leather pocket surrounds just don't do it for me.

For those of you about to rock...this is the shirt for you.

 

From Jelado's rather appropriately named "Rockstar" range comes this 100% cotton, jacquard woven shirt. Dyed in deepest indigo and finished with contrast red snaps and stitching, this shirt is peacock piece - definitely not for slumming it.

 

The fabric of this shirt is really something quite special, the jacquard weave allows for an intricate interwoven pattern which becomes increasingly three dimensional with wear and wash; this shirt simply gets better and better every time it is worn.

The horsehide surround is a differentiator for me, and it certainly adds some extra durability to the pocket openings.

 

I can appreciate that it might not be to absolutely everyones taste, but then again what is.

[Maynard Friedman]

^ oxygen I hope!

The fabric and colour scheme (shirt and snaps) on that western look great.

Would love to see those Jelado flannels in a longer length.  At 6'3" a 29 inch length does not work.  Any chance to make a size XXL in the future?  Would also like to see longer inseam lengths on your denim.  Overall I like your approach.  It's cool to see some new brands.

 

Thanks

[Megatron1505]

Thank you for your kind words dude, we like that what we do is a little different 

 

On the flannels I guess it depends on your proportions, I am a little over 6ft 1" and the long version works for me but I am more leg than body.

 

We are working on something with Trophy at the moment which we hope will address the inseam issue for our taller customers, more on that soon......

[gazeboarder]

Great to here on the Trophy denim. For shirts I like a length in the 31 to 32 inch range. I must have a long torso.

Thanks

FYI, I am 6'4" and this shirt in XL fits me well: http://nokipple.com/products/trophy-deluxe-hbt-grey-shirt

Something special is due to arrive today.  Hope I can pick it up after work and share some pictures.

[Megatron1505]

Looking forward to seeing them Flo.

Clothing companies tend to have signature items, items which they do so well and which become so popular that their arrival each season is eagerly anticipated. For Jelado one such item is the A/W flannel shirt.

 

The shirt is a beautifully cut, extremely flattering, 100% thick, warm cotton flannel made from a Jelado exclusive fabric. As with all Jelado products it has been meticulously designed down to the very last stitch to evoke the feeling of your favourite old shirt, right from the first wear.

 

Jelado offer two cuts for their flannels, this version is cut longer in the body.

Thanks to Gavin and Jon I received my hall of fade prize, the Elhaus 20 oz handwoven nautral dyed Jeans. I must say, this is the most unique fabric I own and really heavy. Interesting details on all ends.

Measurements of size 34:

Waist 85 cm

Thigh 31,5 cm

Inseam 85 cm

Hem 22,2 cm

I like the fit, however it's a bit tight in the top block. Not the waist, rather the hip. I figure nobody will have experience with it, but will they stretch a bit?

Anyway, if anybody is looking for a special pair - this is it. The colour reminds me of the Nudie Veggies, just not green- but redcast.

Looking good man, that fabric is killer isn't it?

 

The fabric does have some give so they should loosen up nicely on you, and much like the Samurai 21oz VX denim it takes a while to settle. Within a couple of weeks with some inconsistent wear they should be perfect.

[Max Power]

The fabric is really awesome. And you didn't even advertise the details, like selvage button fly, square button fly slots etc. The fabric feels super heavy but buttery soft. BTW, they're not that wide as it looks, they need some time to form to my body, as this outtake shows.

 

 

Will make some comparisons with existing pairs I have to figure out wether these will stretch to what I need or wether sizing up would be necessary.

I was a bit shocked by how out of shape I've become when I put these on (hence my facial expression).

nice fit, and I love the colour

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Doesn't look that bad ain the top block as you wrote me earlier. They indeed look very bootcut-ish but as you said, with wear it should be better. Can't wait to check them out next time we meet

[Max Power]

Hopefully soon I will do some daylight shots tomorrow, if I find the time. Gotta prepare a turkey (well, rather watch the lady of the house do it )

the color seems to be amazing!

[Megatron1505]

The jeans are hank dyed in deep indigo, it give them some incredible colour depth and they are stubborn as a mutha to fade.

This stunning shirt from Trophy Clothing is made from a soft, thick, and thoroughly luxurious herringbone twill material. The shirt is a modern cut twist on a classic 50's style work shirt and is beautifully detailed with vintage reproduction buttons, a throat latch closure and an extremely flattering silhouette. This shirt is cut a little longer than other Trophy shirts and could function as a sized-up, over shirt if preferred.

OK, so I thought I’d go ahead and write up some of my impressions of the Elhaus NKxEH01, now that I’ve had them for a while.  I’ll mix in a few pictures, too, so it won’t be totally boring.

First, gotta talk about the denim.  This is 21oz, handwoven, LHT denim, and to say that it’s different is really inadequate.  I’ve never seen any denim like this.  Given the weight, you’d expect it to be thick, but it’s thick.  Like really, really thick.  But at the same time, it’s not at all rigid or rough.  Instead, it’s soft and almost squishy, like fleece or a thin neoprene.  It makes for a really soft and comfortable denim.  The weave is interesting, too.  Close up, it looks super tight; the weft is almost completely invisible.  It also doesn’t seem like a regular 3x1 weave.  From the back side it looks more like 2x1, but I think that’s just because it’s such a low tension weave.  I’ve never seen denim with this much flex in it.  I’m definitely curious to see how it breaks in.

 

Second, I feel like I should mention the color, which is an amazing blue.  It looks like a really bright royal blue from a distance, but when you get closer, it’s got variations that create a great depth and complexity of color.

 

Third, let’s move on to the details.  These have all the things you’d expect: concealed selvedge coin pocket, branded rivet backs and fly buttons, hidden back pocket rivets, etc.  The most interesting thing for me is the work Elhaus put into the fly.  It’s selvedge, for starters, but the really unique part is the button holes.  Rather than the standard parallel holes, these are angled, which just looks cool.

 

 

 

Finally, some fit pics.  Apologies for the unattractiveness of the model, but then , I suppose you’ve seen Megatron, and few things are worse than that.

A very flattering fit, congratulations.

Thanks for the thoughtful details.

This pair continues to climb my want list...

[Seul]

Great stuff Chris FTX!..

[Megatron1505]

Nice fit and description there Chris, and you can remove that hat and embrace your baldness 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^^ that's a perfect fit right there!

[hectic]

Great pics and feedback - thank you MP and Chris.

 

Apropos, here's a couple of manafacturing pics from Elhaus:

I think that looks great but those leather pocket surrounds just don't do it for me.

The blue variant with brown leather surrounds might appeal more to you.

[Megatron1505]

Now for what has possibly been our most enquired about item, which will go live on the site tomorrow.

 

The Trophy Storm Vest is a beautiful interpretation of a cold weather work wear vest but coupled with a refinement that characterises Trophy clothing.

 

The outer is a medium weight, soft, brushed cotton moleskin. The wool blend blanket lining is generously thick and the vest is padded throughout. Fastened with a heavyweight full length zip, the Storm vest is detailed comprehensively, with blanket lining extending to the front patch pockets.

 

A thick and substantial stand-up knitted collar keeps the wind out and neat and flattering cut mean the vest can be dressed up or down.
