Hey guys!

We're thrilled to announce our latest collaboration with Styleforum.net! We're celebrating our 15-year anniversary by offering our two most iconic jacket shapes in our brand new Rope-Dyed Indigo Sashiko.

Casual "shakets" like these have been part of our collection since 2013. They're versatile piece which are easy to dress up or down. During the course of our photoshoot, we paired them with jeans, trousers, collared shirts, and t-shirts.. just to show the many ways that they can be worn. @LA Guy and Styleforum agreed to this collaboration, as the jackets perfectly bridge the worlds of CM and SW&D. They have a place in every man's wardrobe.

You can opt for the Doyle (chore jacket) or the Field jacket (four pocket safari style) in either Raw Indigo Sashiko or Pumice Washed Indigo Sashiko. The Raw garments a rich deep indigo blue and will fade gorgeously over time. The Pumice Washed garments have been treated with coarse stones to yield a vibrant faded blue color and a stunning patina.This cloth is brand new for us, and this Japanese rope-dyed fabric is designed to fade like a beast!

We have enough fabric on hand to produce approx 150 total units.

Sizes 34 to 48 are available to order. Preorders will be open until Thursday, April 6th, or while our fabric inventory lasts.

I'll keep this thread updated throughout the preorder window. Feel free to ask any questions on sizing, details, or anything else, and I'll be happy to personally answer them.

Hope that you guys had a great weekend. We've got four days to go on this project!

As a brand, we've always straddled the line of bizcaz and casual with our in-house designs. And these casual indigo jackets live wonderfully in both worlds. They're true essentials that have a place in every wardrobe and tie back easily to most pieces that you already own.

We put together some quick mock-up graphics to show how they can be worn. Here's the Raw Indigo to start...

Hey everyone! I edited a quick video of our three Sashiko samples: the raw indigo, the 12 times washed, and the Pumice washed.

The 12 times washed sample was literally washed in my home machine a dozen times. The fade is already really pronounced and the color is gorgeous. If you get a raw jacket, you can expect it to look along these lines after a few months of normal use.
