Get ready for the Iron Heart DC4002

This Wednesday (the 29th of februari) our second collaboration with Iron Heart will be for sale in the online store at 21.00 sharp. The Iron Heart DC4002 is fit- and detail-wise almost similar to our first collab, the DC4001, but this time it's made out of the 'super extra heavy denim': 25oz. Trust us, this is not for the faint of heart.

The denim is the same as used on the Iron Heart 634-XHS, but in our signature fit: straight, but with a slightly higher rise than its predecessor. It's a very limited run of just 49 pairs - make sure you don't sleep on this one, you won't get a second chance with these heavy hitters.

A look in the kitchen of Studio D'Artisan

One of Japan's best known denim brands, Studio D'Artisan, has been producing denim since 1979. These guys know what they're talking about, and the creators of the jeans with the well-known pigs let us take a look at their production process. Check out these video's and witness the craftmanship:





More video's by SDA can be found on their YouTube channel. Inspired by the video's and want to get your own pair? Lucky you - we got a few pairs left.

Loop wheeled sweatshirts by The Flat Head

Fresh from Japan and ready to comfort you during this European winter of horror: a loop wheeled sweatshirt from The Flat Head. We got 'em in two duo-tone colorways and both have their own print. These loop wheeled crew necks are made from heavyweight cotton and are really soft - truly a super comfy and durable sweater.

Both sweaters are available in sizes L and XL in our online shop.

New gear: shirts by Iron Heart & Dry Bones

We got a couple of new shirts to complete your winter outfits with. There are four new Iron Heart shirts available. The Iron Heart SH-49 is a denim shirt made of 8oz denim, and that might not seem to heavy for Iron Heart standards. There's a catch to it though: Haraki-san designed it with a blanket lining and quilted sleeves, which make it even wearable as a jacket in the spring and autumn.

If you're feeling like wearing a flannel as heavy and warm as a proper blanket, try a 12 oz Iron Heart flannel. We got them in two colourways: a classic Black Flannel and a Check Flannel. The last new shirt is a Grey Melton with side pockets to keep your hands warm at all times. Perfect for layering. All the Iron Heart shirts are available in sizes M - 3XL.

Then there are new shirts by Dry Bones too: checkered flannels in red and mint. We'll top this new batch off with a great book with lots and lots of vintage eyecandy: King of Vintage, Heller's Cafe Volume 3. This 176-page book is highly coveted amonst collectors, so get a copy while they're still in stock!

We're open!

Pure Blue Japan - a look at amazing fades

The last time we visited Japan we also went to our friends from Pure Blue Japan in Tokyo, and shot a couple pictures of some amazing jeans they had on display. Pure Blue Japan is known for it's 'slubby' denim, meaning there's a lot of texture in the fabric. They're not afraid to experiment with funky combinations like an indigo warp and a purple weft, giving the jeans quite a unique look. Check out some fades after the break.
