Also I love the Instagram stories, drink roulette in Japan is a fine idea!

We want to, but it's not on the roughly 6-8 month production calendar we laid out. 

[Broark]

Bummer, but I'm sure whatever you guys have planned with Ryo and Hiro will be great! 

[aho]

^Very great indeed! ;)

With over 100 years of experience under their belt, and still family-owned, Schott knows how to cut and sew a fine leather jacket. We're excited to launch their collection in our online shop with two standout pieces: the Cafecto in black steerhide, and the Cafe Racer in black horsehide. 

 

Both of these are pretty awesome jackets - the horsehide cafe racer looks phenomal on, and the Cafecto is just right. I love the Perfecto asym, but it's hard to wear, and the Cafecto removes just enough of the extra details to make it just right!

A lot of our customers have told us how much they love our recent e-mails (earlier this week we sent a mid 1990s Geocities nostalgia themed e-mail) - so we've decided to let people opt-in to receive more ASCII e-mails, instead of our usual photography-heavy ones.

John Lofgren Champion Sneakers

 

There’s two things we’ll go to Sendai for: Beef tongue and John Lofgren footwear.

 

Out of all the made-in-Japan sneakers, John Lofgren’s Champion Sneakers are what you’ll find on our feet. Every component is made in Japan, from the rubber soles to the canvas uppers.

 

John has a relentless focus on comfort and quality, and it shows as soon as you put these on. The extra weight is from all the extra rubber in the outsoles, and the comfort is from the double-insole. All of the details have been elevated: heavy-duty eyelets, taped seams, and double-stitched stress-points.

In this latest batch, he produced natural herringbone twill, kakishibu denim, and sugar cane denim versions, all on black soles. 

We loved these so much that we cleaned out his entire inventory - when they're gone, they're gone.

Flying home from AZ tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by in time. I'm convincing the lady that I need a pair right now!

[mrsmiff]

Psst. Sale's on.

In non-sale news - if you've been eyeing up the Real McCoy's N-1, we are running low.

One of our customer's Old Blue 21/23oz after ~6 months of wear. The denim on these is so good, and the construction is flawless.

Very easy. Quite a bit away if you're flying in to and coming from OAK or SFO, but it's basically a straight shot over the bridge from SF or on the 580/880. They're shop is located in the Temescal neighborhood on Telegraph Ave that spans across Oakland and Berkeley. Tons of cool shops, restaurants and local talent around there. Try and grab a chicken sando from Bakesale Betty if you're in the area.
