Unknown Non-Japanese Brands

Pulled the trigger on a lady white co municipal long sleeve in L from Canoe Club on Labor Day sale.  Hope it fits!

Couldn't find a Known Non-Japanese Brands thread so figurd I would post in here...

This might stir up some of the older English [hooligan] lads but I had the chance to chat to the Stone Island denim team during an event in LA. SI wanted to get back into some denims after some time off focusing on their usual wares. Was cool to chat and they really had gone through a big catalogue of other brands and kinda put their own spin on it. Honestly, seeing them in person, there are very high quality as far as the little branded details and attention to detail. Compared to all the repos, was fresh to see a new take that wasn't (to me) overboard. I'm a big fan of SI, especially pre-Moncler, but have always waited for decent sales or secondhand to buy.

Anyways, picked up the "Selvedge Indigo Denim Raw" in 36 and took a few photos of some of the cool details. Chainstitching everywhere, and I appreciated the dual stitching but one hidden in indigo. The pockets are lined in the bottom but interestingly enough are two parts stitched together, a very cool detail. Instead of a leather patch, removeable patch that is also made with indigo stitching, only for the Denim Research items. 13oz denim from Japan. 

The fit is fantasic for my build currently. Size 36 measures 38, 12.5, 17.5, 14.25, 10.5, 8.5, 33.5 and I think there will be a small amount of shrinking. Really nice fit if I'm honest, one of my favorite.

Anybody here looking for black denim?  Lady White Co and Phigvel collaborating on black denim models regular and wide style:

I’m debating on buying the wide style as it’s zip fly instead of button.  I already have two black denim styles from Phigvel.

Chainstitching everywhere...except the hem. And the dreaded (for me) flat felled inseam. No bueno.

[Maynard Friedman]

^ Not for me either but I think that’s a two-tone chainstitch on the hem.

[reallypeacedoff]

Yeah, definitely chainstitched, it's just two toned @Jared_Lee

Different strokes for different folks and all that. I for one am happy I got a pair of jeans that doesnt look like every other jean I have 🙂 

[Jared_Lee]

@reallypeacedoff, oh yeah, I see that now. Weird. I'm stoked you like them! I have a few pairs with the flat felled inseam and it just makes cuffing the jeans awful. I have the two pairs I actually wear hemmed for no cuff for that reason, but generally I prefer the way the contrast of the cuff looks finishing the leg.

Hendrix Park 5 pocket jeans from Rix out in Sausalito. I think these are made using the denim we would have had if he was the choice for our contest.
Really nice cut, high rise straight leg. The sateen used on the pocket bags is really nice as well.

saw Cory post about this brand called Denim Tears 

[Broark]

^ Guessing that it's some sort of ad? Interesting product placement, these are from the same brand... 

[shredwin_206]

I didn’t peruse their site. The pair Cory has are completely plain with no funky artwork. But yea maybe brand partnership? Haha

These are great - hoping there's another chance for a Hendrix Park contest in the future!

The Stussy / Jighead knitwear my kid sent to me.. which I posted in waywt last month was from the Denim Tears x Stussy collab.. kid sent me this too 

 

The collection sold out in a heartbeat.. it’s a hype brand more than it is a denim brand.. kid was more interested in the fishing aspect 😂

Those do really look nice. Too many good things out there! 
Maybe in due time I’ll get to try a pair, though at this rate it could be awhile. What denim is it?
