Studio D'Artisan Kimono-Kasuri shirts, Heavy Thermals, & Suvin Gold Loopwheeled T-Shirts

Big delivery this week from the oldest of the Osaka Five brands, Studio D'Artisan.
First off we have their new Kimono-Kasuri shirt. Studio D’Artisan continue to push forward in terms of bringing the most interesting fabrics to shirts and jackets. This week have a limited edition shirt made out of recreated vintage kimono designs printed with pure indigo on an original cotton fabric. Due to the number of fabric designs they've produced there are seven different fabric designs.

Studio D’Artisan makes some very impressive basics and every winter they do a run of heavy thermal shirts in various colors. For the winter season this year they’ve done a great khaki color. These are made of a super nice SDA developed 100% cotton thermal fabric and are great for wearing alone or for layering.

Along with the new thermal and short sleeve shirt we have fresh production runs of their loopwheeled t-shirts in every imaginable style. We have indigo-dyed and black flat lock seamed pocket tees, we have long staple cotton loopwheeled pocket tees, and of course we have their insanely nice Suvin Gold t-shirts available in three colors.

You can find all these items along with a full restock of jeans, belts, and socks at all stores and online.

Poten Winter Collection of Japanese Baseball Caps

Poten’s Winter Collection of Caps are here!

This season we see Poten doing their caps in three all new fabrics. We have a navy colored nylon, a very nice lightweight brushed poly in black, and a wild ass olive watercolor camo nylon. These hats are crazy nice, nicer than any other straight ahead baseball cap we've ever seen.

Every cap style has a super soft and supple inner leather headband which has been lightly treated so it’s not destroyed by sweat.

The caps have zero exterior branding except for the stitches which you can see from the top of the crown from the interior branding tags being sewn into the center of the crown. The cap has a medium height crown and the brim has a medium length to it with 19 concentric stitches which feel and look pretty cool in person. If you're into baseball caps, you'll love what Poten is doing.

All three of these caps along with a restock of four previous models are available now at all stores and online.

My Roy jeans from the recent drop arrived and I have to say they are a thing of beauty!

the shade is definitely unique and has a bit of a grey hue to it.

 

[Mr. Six]

Got mine, too. Unusual fabric, for sure. I like the new cut a lot. I hope Roy will consider doing it again in a bluer denim. Also, I think they'll actually make great jeans to go with a sport coat. I promise to keep it a secret, though--I don't want to ruin Roy's street red.

The Fine Creek Leathers Virginia Beach Type II Jacket

The Fine Creek horsehide Virginia Beach Type II jacket is here. Fine Creek Leather’s jackets are unlike most other Japanese made leather jackets in that they’re actually produced by the designer in their own in-house workshop in Tokyo. The attention to detail in the sewing shows, especially as the jacket ages and areas of the leather start to pucker to different degrees depending on what machine was used, what gauge of yarn was used, and the stitch count. These are truly the best leather jackets we’ve seen come out of Japan.

You can find the Virginia Beach model along with the recently released Ryan in two colors and Alonzo jackets at all stores now.

Pure Blue Japan BG-019 Jeans & Indigo Yarn-Dyed T-Shirts

We’ve got some special Pure Blue Japan jeans releasing at all stores today. The BG-019 jean is made of a PBJ designed 14.5oz selvedge denim with an indigo/gray warp and a natural weft. This unique warp yarn gives the jean a medium indigo shade and will still age and lighten with wear over time like a darker blue jean would. These are made in PBJ’s popular straight tapered fit.

Next up we have a beautiful yarn-dyed indigo t-shirt, one that has a unique light feel to it compared to some of the other tees we stock. While this t-shirt is still considered “medium weight” we find that due to the type of cotton used and the process it's been through the t-shirt is quite comfortable right off the bat.

You can find this tee along with the new BG-019 jean at all stores.

Any recommendations of where I can take to shorten the sleeves of an iron heart heavy flannel shirt? (San Francisco location)

Yes, SF Tailors does really great work! We've been sending people there for over ten years for alterations outside of the scope of what we're capable of doing in-house.

Stevenson Absolutely Amazing Merino Wool Thermal Shirts & Rangefinder Jackets

Stevenson’s Absolutely Amazing merino wool thermal shirts are back, and in new colors!

These are some of the most impressive things we've ever carried. Clients who’ve purchased these last year came back instantly asking for more colors and we're glad Stevenson was able to deliver this year. You can find the new black, olive, and dark gray colors along with a restock of the khaki and navy at all stores now.

We also have a new run of the Rangefinder jacket! These Stevenson jackets arrived in November and sold out so fast we barely had them available for our local customers to try on. Atsu from Stevenson had enough of this custom fabric to make another small run of jackets and they’ve just arrived at all stores.

This jacket is an SOC-style interpretation of a US Army fatigue jacket worn during the 1960s. It features a military motif, but flipped by being made out of an original camouflage design based on Western designs. The original camo print has combined with Western patterns onto a 100% cotton ripstop fabric. The fabric was then washed with a special nano mist treatment that made the patterns blend in to create a vintage-like texture.

You can find all these great things at all stores now.

The 3sixteen Suffused Collection of Jeans, Hoodies, Thermals & Tees

This week we're releasing a special collection from 3sixteen which has been garment dyed then treated for a particular shade of washed-out dark charcoal which we're calling Aphotic Anthracite. The 3sixteen Suffused Collection consists of a pair of jeans in their new NT (narrow tapered) fit, a pull-over hoodie, a heavy long sleeve thermal, and a pocket t-shirt.

The OD-100x jeans will slowly fade to gray then to indigo as the top coating of dye wears off with regular wear and washing. The thermal starts off as a 3sixteen developed natural 100% cotton waffle-knit fabric that’s garment dyed to the Aphotic Anthracite color. The pull-over hoodie and t-shirt are also cut and sewn then garment dyed and treated to give them this particular dark but washed out color. All these items have a nice lived-in comfortable feel to them due to the finishing process.

The 3sixteen Suffused Collection is now available in stores and online.

In addition to these items we have a fresh run of their SP-065 jeans produced exclusively for our stores due to how quickly the initial run sold out.

Pure Blue Japan Black/Black Slub Jeans & Tees

Some really good black jeans from Pure Blue Japan have come in this week. This model is made of a PBJ designed 14oz selvedge denim made from a slub cotton fiber. You don’t see black warp / black weft jeans with this level of character within the fabric very often. These look great when new and look even better broken in.

We also have PBJ's yarn-dyed indigo tees in two shades. We have their dark indigo color and a “sunburned” faded out version. These have a unique light feel to them compared to some of the other tees we stock. While these tees are considered “medium weight” we find that due to the type of cotton used and the process they've been through these tees are quite comfortable right off the bat.

You can find these black jeans and indigo tees at all stores now.

3sixteen Drunk Check Flannels, Mechanic Jackets, & Hoodies

We’ve got a hot one this week from 3sixteen’s last winter drop. First up we have their new Drunk Check Crosscut flannel. These are produced of a 100% cotton Japanese flannel which is slack weave woven for extra pattern depth and are finished with enamel coated metal fisheye buttons.

We also have 3sixteen’s new Mechanic’s Jacket. These are made of a Japanese produced 41/59 wool/cotton blend fabric that’s been boiled so the end result is a light but warm and soft fabric. The jackets are finished with gunmetal color double-pull zippers and buttons and have two interior pockets.

In addition to these two new releases we are now also offering 3sixteen's black fleece hoodies in a pull-over style. These are built to last and are brushed on the interior for comfort. You can find all these items now at all stores.
