Let that indigo shine out in time!

With some of the most serious standard items, each season UES introduce us to their vision for real made in Japan standard gears. With a focus on simplicity and quality, UES deliver some of the most respected daily items in the industry.

Using a vintage denim weaving machine, this specially developed 15oz duck canvas is woven densely for an ultra-heavy feeling. The yarn is grand indigo dyed before weaving, then once complete, the shirt is overdyed again with grand indigo to make for an un-even, super dark grand indigo look. With wear, you'll see some super high contrast fading as the indigo fades to a brighter tone!

Built with classic chain-stitching construction and binding construction for the hem, this one is durable and built for your hard-wearing use. Each of these natural horn buttons is unique and gives this jacketed shirt a more luxury vibe!

If you're keen on a heavy-duty jacketed shirt, this is one of the best choices with amazing fading!

Inspired by vintage work shirts worn for practical duties, UES has taken this to another level by re-imagining it with a true Made in Japan standard. This specially developed medium-weight cotton canvas fabric has been slowly woven using vintage shuttle looms to create a beautiful neppy textured feel you will love to wear. With time the olive sulphur dye will age to a soulful look!

As usual, UES has constructed this shirt to the highest standard. With durable single-needle stitching and bar tack pockets, this shirt will serve you well with many wears! The large open-collar design with a snap button closure provides ease of use for everyday wear!

That UES OG denim deck jacket is here, stay COSY!

After 15 years of success, this classic 'standard item' from UES is here for all to enjoy! In Japan, this design is a serious classic due to its mid-heavy weight shell and practical inner lining meaning this can be easily washed and worn in more seasons!

The outer shell is made of UES' signature 14.9oz denim. The smooth texture is thanks to the Zimbabwe cotton fibres used, with time you'll see some strong contrast fades.

The internal lining is a washable acrylic faux fur, which means you can wear this one and easily chuck it in the washing machine. This lining is also soft and will keep you extra warm. The sleeves feature an alternative lining to make for easy movement unlike typical thicker fur linings in vintage deck jackets. For added durability, the inner armhole is reinforced with additional stitching and a curved denim patch.

Constructed with extra heavy tonal stitching, this one will keep its shape with time and is perfect for daily use. The front storm flap will keep out the cold wind and is secured using a large vintage-style brass zip and kept in place with large urea buttons.

If you're after the practicality of the N-1 in winter but the fading and ease of use of your fave denim... this is a perfect choice!

Looking for a functional cap with fantastic construction, premium materials and the charm of old-world design? UES has got you covered!

Inspired by functional work caps worn by mechanics and machinists in the early 20th century, UES has recreated the design with added attention to the beauty of indigo aging.

The mid-heavyweight 14.9oz  is slowly woven using vintage shuttle looms to create a unique and irregular texture. With time and wear the indigo thread-dyed fabric will fade to reveal a beautiful sky blue look!

To recreate the atmosphere of old-world charm, UES has used a 6-panel crown construction with a lined inner headband to make a comfy and durable garment that you'll love to wear for years to come! The shortened brim is inspired by vintage mechanic caps, originally designed for practical use while working underneath cars and in tight spaces.

If you're looking for a cap with a vintage-inspired design, durable construction, and the beauty of indigo-aging, UES Mechanic Caps could be some perfect choices!

UES doing what UES does best - hardworking heavy flannel for daily wear!

Combining classic Scottish tartan design and Japanese construction, we have a 13oz flannel shirt in check pattern. Features a lightly brushed cotton internal that makes it easy and comfortable to slip on, exposed selvedge edging, and classic brown nut buttons to tie it all together. Borrowing from classic 1940’s workshirt design, the front pockets also have a hidden pen holder to keep your writing utensil handy.

UES has made these shirts with re-constructed vintage denim machines, and then has thread-dyed them to create the check pattern. The pattern is directly dyed onto the weave of the fabric, so you can see the subtle alternating patterns that come out of the vintage loom process.
