I have just got back from Tokyo, where I saw the new collection from Trophy Clothing for this Autumn/ Winter. Sweet baby jesus, it was stunning, I took loads of pics, but I don't know if I am allowed to give spoilers.

[Megatron1505]

Herringbone shirt looks great mega.

[riff]

"Stunning" doesn't even begin to describe it... Fantastic pics Mega - thanks!

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, this is the tip of the ice berg, but I don't want to steal their thunder yet. The details and materials are some of the best I have ever seen.

[demonator]

mega how do those n-1's fit? they have those in olive? hows the sizing?

[Maynard Friedman]

Trophy thread beckons Mega...

[Megatron1505]

Because of my.......relationship with Trophy I cannot really start a thread yet, and will post about them minimally.....for the moment. Just observing the rules gents.

 

Ed, N1 was a 40, which was a little too tight for me, I would need a 42. They fit snug and boxy, just like they are meant too. The horsehide detailing on them is next level.

I'd be keen to know more about trophy, looking forward to updates

Is there online shop carrying Trophy that can ship overseas or proxy the only way?

[demonator]

[Megatron1505]

For Asia Trophy have an online store, and many retailers throughout Japan. For the rest of the world.......I'll let you know 

[demonator]

fuck if megas into trophy and im into trophy then trohpy must be something else eh?

[Megatron1505]

My thoughts exactly Ed 

[Megatron1505]

Yes love the herringbone shirt, very good. Works with the flat cap too.

Is that last photo Masaki?

 

Yes, that is Masaki Egawa in the last pic, the brand owner. Really cool guy, he was explaining his brand philosophy about things ageing well, and how he hopes that people will still have Trophy clothes in their closet in 50 years that they buy now.

 

He loves clothes, vintage motorcycles, playing bass guitar, and 70's funk music. Quite the eclectic.

A bumper pyjama pun?!

I also visited Jelado, and picked up a nice hoodie and a couple of tee's. Yohei Goto who owns Jelado is a very interesting guy, he is a competitive Kick Boxer, and avid collector of vintage Americana clothing, he travels the world, and pays a lot of money for some his vintage pieces.

 

Jelado.....

I did, it's a rough denim, quite slubby, nice colour contrasts, quite stiff. The quality is obviously great, but they didn't have any in my size for me to try at the time, definitely on my list for a future jean purchase though.

 

Yohei showed me an example which had been worn for 2 years, and looked beautiful.

They do a regular cut as well as a 55 cut and the "Rock Star" cut (I think there are two different RS cuts).

It's funny cuz I was browsing Rakuten literally just yesterday looking for the pair in the middle and couldn't find my size... ANd then your posts... I think I could be tempted with just about all of those in a heartbeat!

 

 

 

 

 

[Megatron1505]

Hey Riff,

 

The middle pair can only be custom ordered through Trophy I believe, unless someone has done a stock order of their custom jeans.

 

You build them up using the options on this page.......
