[kino]

[Vanquish Gold]

I think it is at Chiodo along russell st...

[LC_Miey]

yup Chiodo. kino maybe they still have some left

in Auckland, Gubb & Mackie at downtown and Little Brother on High St. used to carry them but both shops have already closed down this year. try the other store on High St. that is is run by the same owner

Anybody has info about Eight-G (Sakai) denim? I know there are some people on here own the Eight-G jeans.

from what I read on their old website, if im not mistaken they claimed to be the first to produce Japanese jeans. but from here where does Denime fit into the picture?

could it be that Eight-G were the first to produce the japanese denim but Denime is the first to produde repro jeans?

i only found some info on jp.wikipedia

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A8%E3%82%A4%E3%83%88%E3%82%B8%E3%83%BC

and the history link on Eight-G new website is not working..

sorry if this have been discussed before , i tried searching by didnt find any..

that what one-of-one means? maybe there are other personalized individual details that i didnt realise

just saw these in Sydney over the weekend. I talked to the worker and he was saying that the one of one meant that each pair was handmade so they are all unique. not customized but no 2 pairs are exactly alike.

they are suppose to be the owners personal line that he made a limited production of. ill upload some pics i took when i tried them on. i really like the cut just couldnt justify another pair.

pretty slubby jeans overall. worker didnt know the weight or what cut it was based off of.

[LC_Miey]

Thanks for the info man. They still have lot of sizes?

im assuming the store you visited was AikaStore, so you mean Enishi made the jeans for the owners of Aika?

or Enishi is a sub-branding of Aika?

cause I searched last time, there is a denim company in Japan named Enishi..

Still so many places in melbourne i need to discover and I've lived here since feb.... any other places you can suggest?

I'm getting some APCs from the new store just near degraves on flinders lane...

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

great photos

[chantheman]

im not in australia anymore. i just found the store walking down the street randomly so i didnt even know i was going to be stopping my

[kiya]

I spy a Deus sign.

[You Ren]

It's part of Deus Ex Machina. They carry LVC and Edwin as well. Did not see any Flathead there. Check out their flagship store in Camperdown Sydney - they have an awesome cafe and lots of cafe racer motorcycles which they restore and resell. They seem to be clearing out the denim, perhaps Sydney isn't ready for the raw japanese denim thing yet. Everyone seems to be wearing Nudies

Deus founders include Dare Jennings who used to own Mambo.

Vaguely remember seeing the Enishi denim sign before somewhere... then it hit me:

Hi There,

First post on this board.

Just wanted to point out that Aika and Deus have no connection other than Aika stocking the Deus line of Tees.

I work at Aika, so if anyone has any questions about Aika or Enishi denim, I would be happy to try and answer them.

Best,

D.

I think pherrows is pretty mainstream man.... they've done many collabs include take5.... I've got 2 pairs.... but maybe that's why i think they r mainstream.....

[wahwho11]

i believe it's fairly popular in japan, just not looked into in sufu

[Baeyer-Drewson]

^hey futureproof. Which Aika store do you work at? I live not too far from Paddington. Are they still stocking Enishi. Those things look niiiiiiice.

[LC_Miey]

hey futureproof,

if you could give some more information about the Enishi jeans that would be awesome

I just posted it because someone asked for retailers for pherrows...

not to provide another unknown brand, because I know they aren't
