Unknown Japanese Brands

[Iron Horse]

As mentioned in the discussion in the link, they're the Goro's of clothing: only one official shop, no online presence, and no official stockists anywhere else.

Fit and finish on everything looks about perfect, even the big hem openings on the pants.

Time worn has retailers in uk and korea

[Iron Horse]

Correction: Almost no official retailers.   

 

I wasn't sure what the status with Vintage Showroom is; I thought they were a reseller who focused on new stock. Have definitely seen Korean IG feeds with Timeworn stuff. Who carries them there?

[slowdownarthur]

I have a pair of AtLast&Co Lot 126 jeans I bought from the Vintage Showroom. Beautiful jeans.

They're a 36" and, since I've lost some weight recently, too big for me. Need to move them on. PM me if interested.

[harls]

^what else did they stock when you visited? Any idea on any of the other models/cuts?

[slowdownarthur]

I didn't go in person - I don't live in London. I ordered them over the phone.

Going by their Instagram (f.w.collins) they now have some Lot168s and buckle back fatigues and flannel shirts. 

I'm not sure what their Lot numbers refer to. I think the 168s are narrower than the 126 but still relatively wide.

Seeing Shingo-san post a pic of Denimbridge jeans with a cinchback I had a look on the blog and found out about the single stitch model they're making. Looks like great stuff!

I recognise that patio.

Don't worry Maynard, I'll pretend I never saw it.

[volvo240thebest]

just got a reply from the organizers which told me that the event is only for exposition matters but I can try to ask to the vendors and see if they're keen on selling...

SDA, pherrows, Conner's and Red Moon are the Japanese brands present at the event.

[unders]

Good luck Volvo. I'm sure they'll slip you a couple of pairs under the counter.

I've promised myself not to buy more jeans until the end of ooe competition but I couldn't resist this pair! Looking forward to try them out!

[Iron Horse]

You got them? Congrats.   

[tigerstrom]

Yes! Thanks! I want a pair with bigger legopening so I'm happy!

Edited June 17, 2016 by tigerstrom

[goodrain]

I was eyeing those as well. Great pickup! Will you throw them into the rotation?

[Flash]

Glad someone on the forums got them , post lots of pics mate

[Bobbo]

Nice to see they're in safe sufu hands! 

[garden gnomes in space]

this last page represented denim lust and gluttony at its finest!  Well done everybody.  

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Congratz! I'm sure Maynard is sad now...

[tigerstrom]

Thanks guys! I post pics when they arrive!

[Maynard Friedman]

No, I bid for them but double checked on the thigh size with Flash and am pretty sure they'd be too tight so was very relieved to be outbid! Thanks tiger, enjoy them.
