Unknown Japanese Brands

[Broark]

I went back and looked at your fit pics and how the denim is coming along and I decided to take the plunge. They’re a really good price for some jeans made by one guy. Also the arcs kind of look like the Pennybaker Bridge here in Austin. 

[gumchum]

Anyone heard of the shoemaker wheelrobe? I took a chance on a pair of their plain toe blutchers and have been pretty satisfied with them.

[Bobbo]

^^ The way I understood it he only sews the S Antique jeans himself. Double Volante or a guy in Kojima sews the other models. Of course he could have changed that approach now. 

[Broark]

Ah that's right, but still a good price for a nice pair of jeans!

[Bobbo]

Indeed! + Double Volante does ace work.

Sneak peek of the JWJ Patron, pre-soak. Should have more photos, along with some words, later this week. In short: would recommend.

Wrong thread.

I have one of those JWJ jackets. I think it's unbelievable for the price...

[Broark]

I know a couple of you guys (looking at you @tigerstrom and @Flash ) have a pair of the Cushman 22501's, any updates on how they're coming along?
Found a pair and I'm considering buying them...

Havent worn my pair much mate but if i were you id definitely pick them up 

[tigerstrom]

They are really a nice pair of jeans but I haven't worn my pair much. They are a bit too tight at the hips for my liking. @Broark

[Broark]

Thanks guys, they’re on my list. Still waiting for my CSF 46’s to be made and these might tide me over. 

[tigerstrom]

I really like the fabric on the Cushmans. Tried them on and they are way too small for me now.. I consider selling them instead of letting them hang in the closet. So if someone want a size 32 Cushman 22501 pm me with a offer.

Whoops, posted to the wrong thread. I blame holiday season-induced mental havoc. Post has been copy / pasted to the Unknown Non-Japanese Brands thread

JWJ is a Spanish brand rather than a Japanese brand though right?

Yes, they're based out of Mallorca and their production is mostly done in Barcelona.

 

…shoot, I posted this to the wrong thread.

[SLAB]

anyone familiar with the brand RElookus? I came across it on IG

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Is it really a brand? I had the feeling it's rather a one-man operation.

[Bobbo]

^ Yeah I think so too. But it seems like he's stepping up his as of late and other Japanese instagrammers picking up his jeans.

[mlwdp]

Not necessarily a denim brand per say, but Gangsterville of Glad Hand has a pretty interesting take on denim (minus the Iron Cross on other styles).

Appropriately style titled "thug denim". 14 oz.

I think that detailing would look better with spade pockets IMHO.

 

[Outdoorsman]

Design looks okay when incorporated in back-yoke, but the front would look better without imo

Another quite new and unknown brand:

They are made in Japan, the founder is an Indian dude living in Japan but working abroad (maybe that's why the main office is in Hong Kong?!)

I like the fit pics of the CRK - 018. They drape nicely and look comfortable - two of my boxes ticked

You got lucky.  Unless you get them from Western River, they're virtually impossible to get outside of Japan.  Even Lahiana restricts ems shipping on West Ride.

[mlwdp]

Lahaina I mean.  They're one of largest retailers of West Ride besides Western River.  

Western River will ship to USA.

[cheapmuthafukr]

no shit? That's kinda crazy. I only paid 60 for them. I've been trying to find info on them since I bought them, but there's not much out there.

[tigerstrom]

Great find! ^

Evil Act/Holly Terrors and West Ride has been on my wish list.  If you're interested in Evil Act, I believe Minato speaks English.

Great score for $60 @cheapmuthafukr  I have the WR101 and really like them. Like you the Wrangler details did it for me. 

Some of the WR leathers look amazing. I exchanged a number of emails with Akira at Western River on the WR101 and also the 1948 CSF collab (which ended up being too rich for me). Very friendly people.
