Will the Imperials be sanforized or unsanforized?

The denim is fairly hairy and unsanforized but has been factory lightly rinsed and air/line dried (no machines used).

Perfect, just how I like it! Look forward to seeing more!

3sixteen Burkino Faso Selvedge Denim Jeans

Today we have a beautiful new indigo denim from 3sixteen made of Burkina Faso African cotton fibers with just the right amount of nep which is sure to create some very interesting vertical falling as the denim ages and lightens with regular wear. This new denim is available in 3sixteen’s Classic Straight (CS) and Classic Tapered (CT) jean fits.

The yarns do not utilize any bleach when the raw cotton is scoured in order to reduce chemical usage and CO2 output. The yarns are also dyed in a new eco-dyeing process that reduces environmental impact.

A portion of the sales of this denim is donated to the “Japan Burkina Friendship Society” to assist in building schools and wells.

This week we have three new titanium eyewear models from Masahiro Maruyama’s new “KINTSUGI” collection. All three are made of titanium with Japanese acetate temples and come with tinted Carl Zeiss lenses with each frame's lens color matching the frame to the designer's specifications. As always, these lenses can be swapped out for prescription lenses by any optician.

Flat Head Cordovan Engineer Boots & Cowhide Boots and Belts

After two years of development cordovan horsehide engineer boots from Flat Head are here, and they look absolutely amazing.

These are the ultimate cordovan engineer boot; this cordovan version has a slightly shorter shaft compared to the cowhide version of the same boot. These are made by a small shop which generally only produces boots for Flat Head's line of footwear which they’ve been producing since 1999. Made of a Japanese tanned cordovan horsehide which has been vegetable tannin dyed then paraffin waxed, these will look unbelievable once worn in. These come complete with custom made brass and iron buckles, Vibram's #700 and #705 heel and sole, a hand-stitched shaft seam, and a Japanese made steel shank for sole stability. 

Due to the limited availability of cordovan leather these will not be restocked as often as their cowhide counterparts.

We also have a restock of Flat Head's Chromexcel cowhide boots in both natural and tan along with a new run of their heavy cowhide belts.

We have been April fooled

still looking forward to seeing what they look like.  When I was a brand new kid to the game I loved Imperial’s arcs

is this a slim straight fit?  I like leg openings in the 7” to 7.25” range

There are two fits... a late 40's style straight leg and a straight tapered fit.  We've been wearing both around the shops and the fits came out perfectly on the production run.

The Rick Owens EDFU Summer Collection - Delivery 2

The shorts we’d been waiting for our entire lives from last year ended up being a hit and we’re happy Rick Owens decided to bring them back this season made of a new 12oz gray denim. These are Rick Owens' iconic Pods cargo shorts, now made in Japan for the third time out of a custom denim woven in Japan on vintage Sakamoto looms. These things are fucking sick, super functional, built like a tank, and will look amazing over time once the denim softens up with wear.

New high-top Ramones from Rick Owens are also here. This model comes from the new Spring/Summer EDFU season and is made of a newly developed 22oz denim that’s treated in three steps to create a faded pink color. These things are super sick in person and fairly understated considering the silhouette and color.

Introducing Eskhaton - Truly Hand Made Jewelry

We are launching a new genderless jewelry line this week named Eskhaton, meaning the period of time immediately before the world ends. The word is derived from “ἔσχατος”, meaning “last” in Ancient Greek. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This collection is designed, hand-made, and finished by a single person named Tristan Reynolds. Reynolds is a self-taught jewelry maker based in Melbourne, Australia. He normally does not sell to retailers as his work is generally by commission only so we’re quite appreciative of him working with us on this collection of pieces. Over the past couple of years he’s made some signature pieces which have been worn on runways, record covers, and in the press by Rick Owens, Arca, Jhene Aiko, FKA Twigs, Tyrone Dylan, and Michele Lamy. These were not stylist purchases, but personal purchases by these people who appreciate his work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Everything Reynolds produces is literally hand-made, as in there are no molds, casts, or computer drawings used. All stones are ethically sourced, and if he cannot source a certain gem ethically he has it lab grown for the piece. Much of his inspiration stems from his fascination with the human form and the natural way we age (or as he puts he, decay) over time. You can find a limited selection of Eskhaton pieces now at all stores and online.

Strike Gold Loopwheeled T-Shirts and Heavy Leather Belts

These are the ultimate loopwheeled t-shirts, no surprise that they come from Strike Gold, a brand highly dedicated to pushing the boundaries of both selvedge denim and loopwheeled basics.

This heavy 100% cotton fabric is made on vintage loopwheeling machines in Japan. Not many of these machines still exist in the world as they're difficult to maintain and run at a very slow pace. This jersey is produced and pulled down by gravity to create a zero tension knit, creating that trademark horizontal pattern you seen in a well worn in loopwheeled t-shirt or sweater. Available now in black, white, and a new navy color. One sizing note.. to be able to offer these in XXL they cut up the tubular knit fabric (only for this size) to create a larger body t-shirt, making them (we think) the only Japanese brand offering loopwheeled tees up to a XXL size.

We've also received a full restock of Strike Gold heavy cowhide leather belts in tan and black.
