Meeting up with Manifold in Tokyo

There may have been a bit of radio silence lately, but trust us when we say we've been keeping ourself busy. We just got back from an amazing trip to Japan, where we met up with the leather artisans from Manifold.

On May 19th we had a great dinner with Manifold's Yoshitaka Miyamoto and Aiko Okanaga in Tokyo. They honored us with awesome gifts - Ollie recieved a green wallet made out of cordovan leather, combined with a red-black woven wallet rope and a key holder. Daniel now owns a brand new black leather wallet and three brass key chains - Miyamoto-san and Okanaga-san, we can't thank you enough for these!

New Flat Head gear just arrived

Fresh from Nagano we received new products of one of our finest brands, Flat Head.

Besides new t-shirts and the Flat Head jewelry collection, we also got in a new jeans, the F2001.
It features the same cut as the F3001, but with the heavier 16oz denim known from the 1001.

DC4 & Manifold: an exclusive wallet collaboration

The last year we've been working very hard on a collaboration that we kept under the radar until now: a DC4 Berlin & Manifold wallet! DC4's Ollie worked together with Yoshitaka Miyamoto-san, the president of Manifold and one of the worlds best leather artisans, to create this truly stunning piece.

The wallet consists of three pieces: the wallet itself, a key holder and a wallet rope. The outside of the wallet is made of black leather, while the inside is tan colored. The tan colored leather will age beautifully and gets a nice patina over time. Also, you’ll find a stamp saying Manifold & DC4 on the inside in the wallet.

The key holder and is done in a matching color way. To top this all off, Manifold’s unique and characteristic hardware is made of 925 sterling silver. The leather used for the wallet rope is produced exclusively for DC4 and is constructed with three sterling silver rings.

Just 10 sets will be available, and each one is signed by Miyamoto-san himself. Needless to say, we’re very proud of this collab. More pics will be posted tomorrow, and the pieces will be available soon in the DC4 online shop.

A closer look at the Iron Heart DC4002

We're very proud to present our second collaboration with Iron Heart in the form of the Iron Heart DC4002. It's available right now in the DC4 online store. Take a closer look at this pair of 25oz jeans and check out all the details after the break!

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.

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.
