Apologies for what may be a stupid question … I’m a bit out of my comfort zone here … but I’m guessing the experts on this thread could help.

I washed a pair of selvage denim in cold water and it produced some notable dying / discoloration and blue streaking as I flip up the cuff. It’s a bit more prominent than my photo shows. Can I bleach or do anything to get the original color back?

Thanks for any assistance.

No, unfortunately there isn't anything that can be done here. Good news is that generally over time as you keep washing the jean that indigo that's now all over the weft yarns will wash out.

Rick Owens FOGACHINE Jeans, Shorts, & Sneakers

Your new summer jean is here. We’ve just received the Rick Owens FOGACHINE edition of the Made in Japan Detroit. We love the way these turned out and are excited to offer this model in what we think is the most versatile jean silhouette Rick Owens produces. These are made of a newly developed 14oz Japanese selvedge denim with an orange warp and pink weft and pink/natural selvedge ID. This denim truly comes alive after it’s been soaked or softened by a bit of wear and we can’t wait to see some pairs of these super worn in over time.

We've also received Rick Owens' iconic Pods cargo shorts, made in Japan for the first time out of a custom 12oz black/gray Japanese selvedge denim. These things are ******* sick, super functional, built like a tank, and will look amazing over time once the sulfur dyed warp yarns fade.

Lastly we have our first slip-on sneaker from Rick Owens. These are made of a natural un-dyed and un-treated cotton denim, a calf leather toe, and a mini-shark tooth rubber sole. Easily the most comfortable and easy to wear Rick Owens shoe being made, these are versatile and look great with nearly any pair of jeans or shorts.

Poten Summer Collection of Japanese Baseball Caps

Poten’s new summer collection is here!

This season we see Poten doing their caps in a new white “sun softened” 100% cotton fabric, a sun faded cotton/nylon dual-tone style cap, and an olive colored cap in their very popular nylon textile. 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 are available now at all stores and online.

Stevenson Overall Co. Spring Collection - Delivery One

Stevenson is back with their first completely new collection in quite some time.

First up we have a brushed cotton jacquard lined Prairie chore jacket made of an indigo/indigo denim that’s been heavily rinsed to give the jacket a really nice lived in feel. The puckering at the seams and little design details in the stitching on these is top notch, as you’d expect from Stevenson.

Stevenson Overall have produced a jersey knit classic double-V sweatshirt with fine merino wool yarn and it’s absolutely beautiful. The double-V gussets and classic two-tone color scheme are details that date back to the era when sweatshirts were introduced to the world as athletic wear. The fabric is made of a combed fine wool, has a very soft hand-feel, and can be worn during all seasons because of its high thermal resistance and good breathability.

We also have some very nice socks made of a custom fiber blend, come pre-rinsed, and come in four very attractive colors.

Lastly we have a fresh run of the 714 Valencia jean. These are made out of Stevenson’s unsanforized loomstate 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim and single-needle stitched throughout. The denim used on this jean is an original fabric developed by Stevenson Overall Company for their line of jeans and woven by Okayama's famed Kuroki denim mill. Even the thread used is developed for their jeans by Okayama's oldest thread producing factory, from the outside it looks and ages like a 100% cotton thread but is strong so that the jean lasts for a longer period of time. The entire jean is single needle sewn which is nearly unheard of on a jean in this price range, it's truly a work of art to see.

Along with these new fatigue pants we've received fresh restocks of 3sixteen's Pima t-shirt 2-packs and all jeans.

Mister Freedom Spring Collection

Mister Freedom’s new spring collection has landed at all stores. We have two new versions of the Dude Rancher shirt plus the Twin Denim version of their popular Californian jeans.

The Calico Apache version of the Dude Rancher is made of a 100% cotton “Apache” calico fabric that’s discharged printed over indigo. These shirts are finished with 1950’s style painted metal snaps, high-stitch count tonal stitching, and a fancy diamond shaped cuff and elbow reinforcement patch. We also have a new Buzz Rickson USN chambray version of the Dude Rancher.

We've also received the new Twin Denim jeans. These are made of a combination of Sugar Cane’s 1947 and 1966 denim and feature a mid-rise, straight leg and a slightly tapered silhouette for a very 1960’s vibe. These “twin denim” jeans have too many details to list, please check our product page for a full run-down of all the construction notes.

Will the Self Edge x Sugar Cane BSPOWs get restocked? I just picked up a size 33 but after a couple of wears I’m thinking that I would prefer the fit on the 34.

Those will be remade but jean production factories in Japan are super backed up and we're not sure at this time when we'll have another run of those jeans.

Sugar Cane Shirts, Denim Jackets, The Black 1947, & All The Jeans

Sugar Cane hits us with their first short sleeve shirt of the season. This is a custom discharge printed fabric printed with micro images of the four suits of playing cards, clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades.

The black/black 1947 jean from Sugar Cane is finally back! For 75 years we’d been waiting for a Japanese made black/black 1947 jean, and they’re finally here. Sugar Cane has taken 1947 jean, which we could say is the most solid classic straight leg jean fit of all time, and made it out of their 13oz yarn-dyed black selvedge denim. This fabric has a sulfur dyed warp and a reactive dyed weft, this gives you a deep black jean which will age over time with some decent character, similar to how an indigo jean will age with regular wear. These are now available up to size 40 at all stores and online.

Available now at all stores along with a fat restock of all Sugar Cane jean models.
