DC4 Berlin
Torstr. 95

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.

Samurai Jeans Sneak Peek

It won't be long before the first items by Samurai will hit our online store. Since many of you are anxious to see what will be available, here's a little sneak peek. You can expect heavy cloths and signature denim that made Samurai well-known - even outside Japan. We'll supply you with some beautiful accessoires too. Keep a close eye on the blog, shop and our Facebook page for upcoming info.

Visiting the Samurai Jeans HQ

We visited Samurai Jeans this summer to talk business. As you now know, that paid off and DC4 will make it a lot easier for you to get your hands on a pair of Samurai jeans. Until the goods arrive, we'll be cruel and tease you with some pictures fromt our visit.

DC4: official European retailer of Samurai Jeans!

While we're very busy altering our new store at the Torstr. 95, we've got some great news for you guys. DC4 is the official European retailer for Samurai Jeans Co! The first batch of garments is on it's way from Osaka, hometown of Samurai, to Berlin so we'll be able to supply you with the very best Samurai has to offer very soon.

Samurai, a company that many consider the 6th member of the original 'Osaka 5' denim companies, is known for it's outstanding denim with almost ridiculous fading capabilities. Their most well-known denim fabrics are medium to heavy weight (say 15 to 24oz) and are easily recognized by connaisseurs all over the world.

More info on the products will follow soon!

Artisanal bamboo fishing rods

Check out this short movie about Nick Taransky, who's an amazing artisan in making fly fishing rods out of bamboo. In thefilm Mr. Taransky explains that it takes up to 60 hours to finish a single rod - which probably makes you wonder about the price. Well, they don't come cheap: be prepared to drop about €1500,- for a multi-piece rod.

It might get a little too cold over here in the northern parts of Europe for fly fishing, but when spring comes around again, we'll surely think of these rods when looking for some river monsters.

It's Better In The Wind

Scott Toepfer collected video footage for over two years while travelling in the USA on a bike. The result is an amazing short movie called 'It's Better In The Wind'. Great imagery, music and bikes, and pretty inspirational if you ask us.
