Momotaro 0305-VSP (Super Slim Tapered fit)
We always try to do something different even with our standard items. This is a small project that we work with Momotaro company for a while, and the jeans are kind of exclusive for our store.
The jeans are made with the classic 15.7oz peach color selvage denim fabric from Momotaro's famous vintage label. Some of you guys might notice that all the Momotaro denim with their signature "Going to Battle" double stripes are once washed. We have been asked by a lot of customers if we can get the raw version. Since Momotaro company never produce that, we thought we can work with them to do a special release. This is how it comes out. 0305-VSP will give those who like the raw denim texture and give them the freedom to control sizing through washings. Also, the "GTB" stripes on the back are hand panted and will be aged gradually as well as the denim throughout wearing.

The Flat Head "Full Shell Cordovan" Welted Short Wallet
The Flat Head enhance their wallet collection each year. For 2016 spring summer, we receive their all time best selling - cordorvan short wallets. Compare with their previous versions, these short wallets got shell cordovan covered not just outside but also inside including card slots, coin cases and notes compartments. Different from other brands, TFH choose their cordovan extremely careful. They only used the very centre part of horse buttock leather to make sure they are in top grade quality and flawless as well. This kind of cordovan is so called "high density shell cordovan". The sheen of the leather is quite unique, not to mention the supreme durability.
TFH also treated their cordovan with a special vegetable tanning process. Through time, you will see them aged in quite a unique way. We can not define the dye technique since we never see anyone doing similar job as The Flat Head do in the world. So we guess we just call it "The Flat Head Dyeings".
Normally, hand made wallets go with a single stitch sewing for the edge. TFH wants their wallets become your life time belongings. They double layered the edge of the wallets and put a double hand stitch sewing on it with some serious cordovan leather welted. Trust me, You might get high just by touch the edge of the wallets. And of course, they will never be out of shape. Committed to the details of the details, the whole wallet has been hand stitched, even the pull of the coin case has been hand stitched either.
These are the wallets for those who want the best of the best.

Pure Blue Japan Indigo Double Gauzed Check Shirt 2.5 Years In Use
In Japan, almost everything have got detailed includes fashion garments that you already know. Let me make an example of shirtings, for most of Japanese, they are very familiar with the words like Early Summer Shirts,Summer Shirts,Autumn Shirts and Winter Shirts etc.
They vary different weights, textures and constructions of fabrics to make a perfect shirt for specific weather and season (of course they also have detailed the styles for different occasions) which really amaze me ...
Today, I would like to introduce you the PBJ Indigo Double Gauzed Check Shirt which I have been wearing 2.5 years (2 days per week; 8 Months per year).It is still my favourite shirt because of the very light weight and silky texture that I can always wear it in Australian warm seasons.This shirt is made with two different kinds of super light weight gauzes.One is indigo dyed check gauze and the other is some silver gray over dyed gauze. The material of gauze has been used as lightest cloth for repairs over 100 years in Japan, the texture is similar as some silks that is always skin-friendly. The whole shirt has a similar weight as a 7oz T-Shirt so I don't feel any stress even I wear them in some summer time.
Due to the softness,Iwaya San told me that it was very hard to finish the sewing processes.The skilled craftsmen need to slow down the process with many patiences so the cost actually would not be cheaper than making some heavy shirting wears or maybe even more expensive...Throughout 2.5 years in use, I am more into the magical constructions and how the indigo ages. I have worn out somewhere in the collar due to the lightweight fabric but I did not see any part falls apart.This is Something About Craftsmanship as I think!
It belongs to some old PBJ collections,it is hardly to see PBJ continue to produce some signature Double Gauze Shirts these days anymore, I guess it is much easier to sell some heavy shirting wears with stiffness compares with Double Gauzed Shirts.However,I do really hope PBJ will re-produce some kinds of Double Gauzed Shirts which are really made for Quality Fashion.
