STUDIO D'ARTISAN SUMMER COLLECTION 

We have three special short sleeve shirts from Studio D’Artisan this week along with natural indigo and synthetic indigo denim jeans in straight and straight tapered fits.

Cotton and linen blend Amami-Dorozome mud-dyed shirts from Studio D’Artisan are here in two shades of brown. These shirts showcase the centuries-old Amami Dorozome dyeing technique, where garments are repeatedly dyed with natural Sharimbai wood extract and mineral-rich mud from the Amami Oshima islands of Japan to create deep, complex earth tones that cannot be replicated with synthetic dyes. This style of Dorozome dying dates back hundreds of years on these small islands north of Okinawa and they're able to produce extremely deep earth tones by using local "red mud" from the islands.

Studio D’Artisan Noragi shirts are back in a new indigo-dyed version. These shirts are constructed from an original indigo-dyed sashiko dobby fabric woven with two different shades of indigo slub yarn, creating the appearance of a naturally aged garment from the very first wear. The irregular sashiko pattern draws inspiration from traditional Japanese noragi workwear, giving the fabric a hand-sewn character and rich texture that will continue to evolve as the indigo fades with wear.

We also have 15oz denim jeans, a natural indigo denim in a straight tapered fit and a synthetic indigo denim in a straight leg fit.

NEW FLAT HEAD BOOTS, BASICS, & JEANS

These new pull-on boots are made in Japan from chrome-tanned cowhide suede and come with a Vibram® #2021 crepe-style sole, providing lightweight cushioning and flexibility, making them exceptionally comfortable for daily wear. Stitch-down construction delivers a secure yet flexible structure that molds naturally to the foot over time.

INTRODUCING VIAPIANA DENIM - SINGLE-MAN MADE JEANS 

Viapiana Denim is a small-batch denim line based in Toronto, Canada, founded and operated entirely by Ben Viapiana. Every aspect of production—from design and sourcing to pattern making, cutting, and sewing—is handled by Ben himself using a collection of vintage sewing machines, many dating to before the 1960s. We first knew of Ben more than a decade ago when he was producing custom jeans from his workshop in Thailand. Since then, he has relocated to Toronto and expanded into a larger studio while maintaining the same hands-on approach that defines his work today. His commitment to producing every garment himself allows for a level of attention to detail that is increasingly rare in modern clothing manufacturing. 

Our first release from Viapiana is an indigo straight leg model made from a 14.25oz sanforized hank-dyed indigo organic cotton red line selvedge denim milled by Japan's famed Nihon Menpu Mill and a black straight tapered model made from a 14oz red-line Selvedge denim woven by Japan's Kuroki Mills, these jeans are sulphur-dyed to gradually fade to a range of gray tones with wear. Construction details include lined yokes and back pockets, natural brushed twill pocket bags, hidden back pocket rivets, a peekaboo selvage coin pocket, and custom hardware throughout. Handmade in Toronto, by Ben Viapiana using 17 different sewing machines, the jeans are sewn with seven different thread weights, feature a hand-embossed sheepskin leather patch, and are finished with his signature red inseam stitching and Red Indigo Leaf back pocket embroidery. Available now at all stores in very limited numbers.

FINE CREEK SHINKI HORSEHIDE ERIE BAND COLLAR JACKET 

A new Fine Creek Leathers model is here, our first band collar jacket in quite a while. The Erie model is made from a 1.5mm black tea-core dyed Shinki Tannery horsehide. Fine Creek makes some of the most beautiful horsehide jackets we've seen. Using a vegetable tanned Shinki Japanese horsehide, which ages in a fairly fast manner, they cut and sew these jackets in their own studio in Tokyo. The quality of stitching is as good as it gets for a leather jacket, and we've not seen many jackets age as well as these do. Depending on the panel they'll use a different type of stitch thread and thread count to achieve puckering in certain areas for added character.

THE DEVOA FALL COLLECTION - DELIVERY 1 

Devoa's new collection just hit our six stores this week. 

First up we have new 13.5oz indigo Japanese denim jeans with some seriously nice details and a perfect fit. These Devoa jeans are one of the standout pieces from the brand’s latest collection, combining an unconventional pattern philosophy with a distinctive wide silhouette that tapers subtly toward the hem. The sculptural patterning creates a different appearance depending on the angle, while a reverse-cut hem is shaped to reduce fabric dragging at the heel. Cut from slub cotton 13.5oz indigo Japanese denim, these jeans feature selvedge detailing at the pocket facings, waistband lining, and rear pocket openings, along with an extended waistband tab that allows for minor waist adjustment. 

We have also received the TIMEBASE t-shirts in two colors, made from DEVOA’s in-house developed medium-weight jersey using exceptionally soft long-staple cotton, this T-shirt offers a smooth hand feel, and natural breathability. Hand-stitched shoulder detailing showcases the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship, while the rinsed finish provides a broken-in feel from the first wear. 

Lastly we have the Devoa YESTERTIDE t-shirts, also available in two colors. These tees are knit from super high-twist yarns in a 70/20/10 cotton, nylon, and rayon blend, creating a crisp, dry-feel surface with excellent breathability. Rinsed for stability and easy wear, this lightweight knit is machine washable and designed for everyday durability with a refined texture.

WAREHOUSE 800XX JEANS & SLUB COTTON T-SHIRTS 

Warehouse Lot 800XX jeans are here! This model is one of the brand’s longest-running core fits, combining a slim straight silhouette with the vintage construction details that define Warehouse’s approach to denim reproduction. Its proprietary Memphis cotton selvedge denim is woven on Toyoda G3 shuttle looms, producing a textured fabric designed to develop rich, high-contrast fading with extended wear. Hidden rivets, period-correct sewing methods, and a deerskin patch complete a jean that captures the character of 1950s American denim while offering a more versatile modern fit. 

Warehouse makes some unbelievably nice t-shirts and they’re now available in a few new colors. All are made of a long staple cotton mixed with slub yarns on vintage circular knitting machines for that authentic vintage hand-feel. Everything is sewn on vintage sewing machines and finished with the highest level of detail. 

Also, loopwheeled footballer tees are here in new colors. This is a 3/4 sleeve shirt made of Warehouse's famed Shadow Border loopwheeled jersey, available in their washed black and off-white colors.

SAMURAI JEANS, CHINOS, & KAKISHIBU HOODIES 

Samurai natural indigo and kakishibu dyed zip hoodies are BACK. We received these for the first time in February and we’d never seen a hoodie sell out this quickly. We had Samurai produce a run just for our stores and they’ve just landed at all stores and online. This hoodie is built from a substantial 14.5oz fleece developed specifically for this release. The knit is tightly constructed from 30-count cotton yarns that have been rope-dyed in natural indigo, resulting in a rich tone and a dry, slightly grainy hand. Because the yarns trap tiny air pockets, the fabric has a uniquely firm structure that will break in and mold to the wearer with time. After construction, each piece is treated with a kakishibu (persimmon tannin) overdye, which layers a warm, earthy cast over the indigo base, especially in the interior. This traditional dye not only deepens the overall color but also adds natural antimicrobial properties and increased fiber strength. As the sweatshirt ages, the kakishibu finish will slowly react to light and oxygen, creating a deepened hue and a patina.

The S3000VXII model is also here, made of Samurai’s 17oz Zero Bushido denim and comes with red herringbone pocket bags, a red/silver selvedge ID, and some seriously nice custom anodized buttons. These have a really great texture due to the tightly twisted slub yarns mixed with a longer staple cotton for that very unique Samurai feel and look. 

Lastly, Samurai’s wide leg 15oz selvedge chinos are here. Samurai have created an amazing chino cloth using a very thick #6 yarn to create one very impressive fabric. The yarns are sulfur-dyed in a khaki color and then woven on an old power shuttle loom; they've managed to create a real gem of a fabric. The design is heavily based on Japanese vintage work pants of the 1960s; these have a medium rise and wide leg.

Samurai’s S554HX denim jacket has also landed.

Finished with exclusive iron hardware, a sheepskin leather patch, and period-correct construction details, it features a slightly short, boxy silhouette inspired by vintage workwear jackets.

Ambiguity about the weight of the denim is a new way to commit to historical accuracy. 
 

@kiya is there an expected date for the anniversary jacket? I feel like I haven’t seen a single about them since the initial preview… a year and a half ago.

No idea honestly.. considering it's Warehouse it can be anytime between now and 2029.

The good news is that It seems we're one of the only retailers who received all sizes of the anniversary jean at the same time as opposed to two sizes at a time every 2 months for a year..  So hopefully the same thing will happen for the jacket.

Unfortunately Imperial won't be there as they're no longer operating.. they came out of retirement a few years ago just so we can do that last collab to tell the story of the early days of Bay Area streetwear.

BUZZ RICKSON FALL COLLECTION 

Buzz Rickson M-51 denim civilian shorts are here. Inspired by the U.S. Army’s iconic M-1951 field trousers, these shorts reinterpret the military original in indigo denim while retaining its distinctive cargo pockets, suspender hook loops, and functional detailing. The textured pocket construction creates high-wear areas that develop unique fading and character over time. 

We also have Buzz Rickson's long sleeve chambray shirts, in both indigo and the black William Gibson version. Both now available up to size XXL.

Lastly, Buzz Rickson’s indigo selvedge denim WWII jacket is back.

Amazing attention to detail here; these jackets come complete with iron (not copper) rivets, single color 100% cotton constructional stitching, iron laurel buttons, no pocket flap, and a deerskin leather patch.
