JACKETS

Crafted in limited quantities, these jacket are meticulously hand-dyed by skilled artisans using natural indigo and akane (red madder). The thicker yarn used in the hand-dyeing process results in a distinctive, uneven texture, setting this denim apart from the standard 15oz varieties.

The "Hinode-Awa Shoai" series draws inspiration from Japan’s rich heritage of colors, evoking a sense of warmth, familiarity, and deep comfort. To mark their 45th anniversary, Studio D'Artisan has created denim that embodies the spirit of "Japanese colors," combining indigo and madder red dyes. The natural indigo is applied through the traditional "Awa-Sei Aizome" method, requiring approximately 30 wash cycles to achieve a rich, harmonious shade. This process highlights the living quality of indigo, which deepens and transforms with time and wear.

The weft is dyed with plant-based akane (茜) or red madder, a dye that has been part of Japan’s history for centuries, even appearing on the national flag during the Meiji era. The deep indigo created by the "Awa-Shoai Aizome" method blends seamlessly with the rich red madder, producing a fabric reminiscent of noble attire from Japan’s past.

• Crafted from 100% cotton, this 15oz unsanforized Japanese selvedge denim jacket is hand-dyed using natural indigo for the warp and akane (red madder) for the weft. It comes in a one-wash version, ensuring no shrinkage.
  
• The denim has an ultra slubby, hairy texture, created by a low-tension weave.
• Hand-dyed in Tokushima using traditional methods, the denim showcases a striking red selvedge line.
  
• Pocket bags feature original "45th anniversary" artwork, commemorating the milestone.
• Limited in quantity, each pair includes a custom 45th Anniversary bandana.

Inspired by late 1940s sport jackets and reinterpreted with a refined Italian flair, the "Varenne" Black Horsehide jacket is a genuine creation crafted from chrome-tanned, drum-dyed, full-grain horsehide sourced from Vicenza, Italy. It features an elegant "Espresso Coffee" color viscose lining and a removable fur collar made from Italian shearling sheepskin.

The full-grain horsehide used for the Varenne jacket is a first-grade material known for its rich character and depth. Over time, the leather develops beautiful fades, creases, and a distinctive patina, enhancing its appeal. With a thickness of approximately 1.1 mm, the Varenne jacket stands out as a high-end, premium piece. The natural horsehide from Vicenza carries its own unique qualities, where slight differences in texture, grain, and color tone, as well as minor scratches, are marks of authenticity rather than imperfections.

The jacket’s antique brass zippers, engraved with detailed markings, add a vintage touch to its design.

Carefully crafted with attention to every detail, the Varenne jacket is an exceptional handmade piece, embodying the highest standards of Italian craftsmanship. Designed with bikers, rockers, and gentlemen in mind, it merges timeless style with rugged durability.

Named after the legendary Italian racehorse "Varenne," widely regarded as the greatest racer of all time, this jacket is a tribute to excellence.

Any variations in color, texture, or grain should be appreciated as unique elements of this artisanal, one-of-a-kind creation. Every jacket is a “1 of 1 piece,” made exclusively for the wearer.

Each Varenne jacket is presented in a premium organic cotton bag, tied with Havana rope and stamped with a screen-printed logo.

Inspired by the early 1930s varsity jackets worn by Ivy League students and car club members, the "Varsity" Wool Jacket has been reimagined with an elegant Italian touch. This authentic piece is crafted from 24 oz Melton wool and features vegetable-tanned lambskin leather sleeves sourced from Tuscany, Italy.

Originally, varsity jackets were symbols of pride worn by college students, athletes, and car enthusiasts. This version stays true to that heritage, using premium Melton wool from Tuscany, made of 90% wool and 10% cashmere, for a refined and durable feel.

The jacket's sleeves are constructed from vegetable-tanned lambskin, a rare and exceptional material that ages beautifully. Over time, the leather develops unique characteristics, with the natural tannins imparting warmer tones that deepen with use, adding a personal touch to the garment.

Inspired by 1960s cowboy jackets and reimagined with a distinctive Italian flair, the "Bivacco" Western Down Jacket embodies an authentic creation crafted from recycled materials. It is made from 80% recycled goose down and 20% feather sourced from Tuscany, Italy. The jacket features a classic western yoke, meticulously constructed from Front Quarter Pull-up Horsehide by Charles F. Stead, one of the UK's oldest tanneries, established in the 1890s in Leeds.

The outer layer is composed of 100% recycled Ecopath® polyester, originating from Prato, Italy, which is both waterproof and breathable. Combined with responsibly-sourced recycled goose down, the "Bivacco" jacket ensures exceptional warmth and protection, even in the harshest wet and cold conditions.

The recycled goose down from Tuscany is certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS), which verifies the recycled content and guarantees responsible social, environmental, and chemical practices during production. Additionally, the down is traceable and certified under the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), and processed in Bluesign®-approved facilities.

The recycled Ecopath® polyester from Prato is produced using discarded knitwear, clothing remnants, and fabric clippings. These are sorted by color, cut into small pieces, and then processed through an advanced ecological recycling method that regenerates the fibers. The fabric retains its natural coloration, with dyeing performed using environmentally friendly methods.

Charles F. Stead’s Front Quarter Pull-up Horsehide is crafted from selected European full-grain horse hides, tanned using traditional techniques and finished with a blend of classic pull-up waxes. This process results in a pure-aniline leather with a rich, distinctive character.

Attention to detail defines this handcrafted piece, made in Italy. Any imperfections or variations in color, texture, or grain are not flaws but unique features of an artisanal, high-quality product.

Each jacket is a one-of-a-kind creation, delivered in a premium organic cotton bag, adorned with a Havana rope tie and a screen-printed logo. Free worldwide shipping is included with every purchase.

Shortly after the end of World War II, American soldiers stationed at the Yokosuka US military base in Japan sought unique ways to commemorate their service. They found a local tailor shop that specialized in intricate embroidery and began ordering custom items featuring oriental patterns along with the emblems of their respective units and bases. These embroidered pieces served as cherished mementos of their time and experiences in Japan.

One particularly notable creation from this era is a special jacket that has become a symbol of both cultural fusion and military history. The front side of the jacket boasts an exquisite embroidered illustration of the Seven Lucky Gods, which is part of an ambitious project celebrating the 45th anniversary of this tradition. This dynamic design captures the essence of Japanese folklore and artistry, making it a standout piece.

The back side of the jacket features a vintage tour jacket motif, highlighted by a retro-style dragon. This dragon design, with its rich, nostalgic aesthetic, gives the jacket a timeless, vintage feel that appeals to both collectors and fashion enthusiasts. The combination of these elements not only honors the history and heritage of the post-war period but also marks the 45th anniversary with a unique and special design that continues to be celebrated.

Introducing "Billiken-san," the symbolic deity of Osaka. This project is a collaboration between the Osaka-based brand "D'Artisan" and the iconic Billiken-san.

After World War II, American soldiers stationed at the Yokosuka US military base in Japan ordered embroidered souvenirs with oriental patterns, unit emblems, and base insignias from a local tailor shop. This practice is believed to have given rise to the "Sukajan" jacket.

The front of the jacket features a "NEW WORLD" tourism design with Billiken-san as the centerpiece, capturing the lively streets of Osaka along with its famous delicacies like takoyaki and kushikatsu. The back showcases a detailed OSAKA MAP, highlighting beloved symbols of the city such as Billiken, manzai comedy, and the spirited obachan (aunties).

This denim jacket represents the classic 1st type style, crafted from the renowned 900 series 14oz right twill selvedge denim, famously known as G3 denim. G3 denim is woven using Japan's historic G3 power loom, a legendary piece of machinery with a legacy spanning over half a century. The fabric is meticulously woven through a technique called "darashi weaving," which involves manual adjustments to capture the distinctive unevenness and ruggedness characteristic of traditional workwear. By loosening the warp threads' tension, the fabric attains a rugged aesthetic reminiscent of vintage wear.

Drawing inspiration from the timeless 1st type denim jacket, Studio D'Artisan designed a silhouette that balances authenticity with modern wearability. This jacket features faithful reproductions of vintage details, ensuring a timeless appeal. Crafted to withstand the test of time, it pairs seamlessly with jeans, destined to become a wardrobe staple for years to come.

New color/fabric added to TCB Cathartt Chore Coat family!In history, Carhartt had a very unique heart-shaped stripe wabash and TCB's mixed it with a cat humor, making it Paw Stripe Wabash! It looks classic wabash but if you have a closer look at it, there still you find more cuteness!

This time, TCB asked Sanyo Senko, which is located in my hometown, Fukuyama city in Hiroshima prefecture, to make this custom-made wabash fabric. When I was young, I often visited an amusement arcade near the factory but I had no clue at all that there was such a company who had the unique printing/discharging facility.

There are very few factories in Japan who can do indigo post-dye onto rolls of fabric, discharge the indigo in arbitrary shape, and finally print a beige dyeing onto the discharged parts. That's basically the process of how TCB make wabash fabrics.

TCB  made a heart-shaped mold for this fabric and followed the procedure above. If you are familiar with vintage wabash fabrics, you might know that the outlines of each wabash pattern are often somewhat blurred. That's because the more you produce, the more deteriorated the mold itself gets so in the end we will need to replace the mold with a new one. But, they thought if each heart/paw shape was really clear and obvious, it might come across as too flashy to wear so we've intentionally made the mold to be a bit age deteriorated to have blurred heart-shapes like the ones you see on vintage fabrics.

This fabric might strike you as a bit cheapskate? but after studying each procedure of making a wabash fabric in person, it occured  that this might have been the reason why Stifel stopped producing wabash fabrics. It takes much time, much effort, and much cost to make them!

Nevertheless, I can't help appreciating Sanyosenko who went all the way to make our custom-made wabash fabric in the exact same process as how vintage fabrics used to be made. Also, speaking of any Stifel fabric, you may wonder if the unique back print is still there. (There is a boot-shaped print with the "Stifel" letter in it on the backside of Stifel fabric). It of course makes its cost a bit more expensive but I had no choice but to have our back print to make it a purrfect and meowndaful reproduction.

Founded in 1997 in Osaka, Samurai is one of the most appreciated denim labels in the world. The name was inspired by the duel of 1612 between Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi, the two swordsmen were bitter rivals at the time.  The duel began with both men on guard as a show of respect for the other’s skill with their own style and technique. In the end, though, there could be only one winner. Musashi had provoked Kojirō to make the first attack. Miyamoto quickly countered and succeeded in breaking Kojirō’s left ribs and puncturing his lungs, eventually killing him.  With such history behind, Samurai Jeans could never go wrong and built a history of its own in the denim world.

This is a classic War Type denim jacket. The buckle is made of bespoke iron, and the pockets are covered with slakes. While reproducing the simple specifications unique to the war, it is finished in a samurai-like detail .
A dish with a rugged silhouette full of vintage feel.
