Benzak - 15oz Lined Rider Jacket Special #2 Selvedge - Vintage Indigo

Wow. Simply wow. We are still in awe of the Special #2 Selvedge from Benzak, and we've had it for nearly a year...so when they said trucker jacket we came running. It ticks all the boxes for us. Special details - check. Flannel lined - check. Handwarmer pockets - check. Then we really start diving deep. The tag work is always insane from Benzak. It's one of our favorite things bout them. They also do these wonderful buttons with just the right shine. You've got to vintage style rounded breast pockets and double-needle contrast stitching throughout for one of the most complete trucker jackets of the year. And trust us when we say this vintage indigo Special #2 fabric fades beautifully. It's not just about the dual selvedge tickers, it's all about the wear and tear.

Benzak - 8oz Kojima Chambray Varisty Bomber - Indigo.

Over the years, we've seen denim in all forms...but this is the first time we've seen it like this. An 8oz chambray turned into a beautiful everyday layering piece. What more can we say? It's lined with a super soft brushed flannel in a 4oz weight, as to not overpower the chambray. They've included a wonderful talon zipper (the best) and some indigo bar tacks to go along with that tonal ribbing. This thing is a great addition to any wardrobe.

Benzak - 8oz Check Flannel Work Shirt - Yellow, Blue.

We love everything about Benzaks construction. Their details hold up to any Japanese or American brand we covet in the shop. This flannel is a beautiful mid-weight fabric with a super soft hand feel. The details we spoke of are the triple-needle chain stitch runoff, cat-eye buttons, side gussets, and incredible woven labels. This fabric is also a custom check design in this sunny yellow & blue made in the flannel capital of the world - Portugal. It's brushed on both sides and is actually a pretty dense weave making the fabric ultra-soft but really sturdy.

Benzak - BDD-516 - 18oz Super Slub - RHT.

Another made in Japan pair has made it down the pipeline. The 18oz fabric is incredibly crunchy and Benzak's heaviest to date. It's also their slubbiest - a truly remarkable fabric. They like to think of this as their 16oz RHT fabric on steroids. The truly amazing part of this fabric is that it has a much lower tension than its counterpart, meaning it has a much easier break-in. This also adds to its uneven, irregular structure that you can truly see on the inside. This fabric is packed with indigo, almost to the level where it looks black, and it's going to look so beautiful when you break it in. From top to bottom, this pair is milled, cut, and sewn in Japan.

Jackman - GG Sweat Pullover Parka - 30 Heather Grey.

Jackman continues to impress us with every delivery. This round, we shifted gears into the world of mid-heavyweight sweats. This piece is as good of a sweatshirt as we've ever seen (and we don't say that lightly). The GG stands for grainy because this fabric has such character. They use two different yarn thicknesses in the knitting process in their factory in Fukui. The decorative yarn creates a whole heck of a lot of texture that you'll feel from the get-go. And, with all the amazing products we've carried over the years...we wouldn't be surprised if you're the most impressed with these.

This is a pullover hoodie that uses domestic thick yarn and uses GG fleece that has both thickness and softness. The back is not brushed and can be worn for 3 seasons. The milling cutter (rib) also uses two threads to improve durability - a cover stitch over a grounding stitch. The hood of the hagi is designed to stand up softly and three-dimensionally. The back is also raglan to eliminate the sharpness of the shoulders.

Jackman - Waffle Mid-Neck - 145 Apricot.

For the same reason we fell in love with the watch caps, we fell in love with these mid-necks. They're made from the same waffle cotton. We've seen a lot of waffles in 8 years of James Dant, but nothing quite like this. This cotton has a fluffy, cushy, incredible natural stretch to it. You just don't see waffles like this without being packed with synthetics. We think this is what makes Jackman waffle so sought after. This is the shirt everyone knows from them! And some people own it in just about every color!

Made in Japan.

Jackman - Waffle Knit Cap - 178 Oxide Red. Jackman grabbed our attention right away. The fabrics are on a whole other level, including these waffle knit caps. The 100% cotton waffle design will blow your mind. You're going to think there's stretch in the cap, but that is just how insanely good they are with technical natural knits in Japan. It is unlike anything we've ever felt. They are also made longer than a typical beanie we purchase. It makes this cap so versatile because if you don't like a watch cap look, you can wear it with just one roll. It also fits a huge variety of heads! These waffle caps have quickly become our favorite of the fall. Made in Japan.

Let us transport you back to your childhood, to those Saturday morning trips with your Pops. The small brass bell above the door chimed softly as you entered the shop. This was your first glimpse into the lives of men — full of frank, gruff talk, heavy laughter and stacks of magazines your momma probably didn't want you reading. Even the air seemed different here; heavy with the slightly medicinal scent of Barbicide mingling amongst the various talcs & tonics, a subtle hint of cigars from the night before and the smell of leather as you sit comfortably into the chair. This is where men can be men.

Iron Heart - 17oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Natural Indigo

The 777 has been an incredible cut for us recently, and we couldn't think of a better way to do it than with the natural 17oz denim. We've seen this in person, and we must admit...we like the way it fades better than the 21oz. It's not quite as heavy but still has a ton of gumption at 17oz. Plus, the natural indigo will fade more like a vintage pair, though it is a stubborn fader. These have all the Iron Heart bells and whistles you know and love. They also feature that infamous beige/brown weft.

Iron Heart - Japanese Horsehide Rider's Jacket with Collar - Black (Tea-Core Dyed).

Well, if we were going to get into leathers from Iron Heart, we were always going to start with a bang. This absolutely gobsmackingly good leather riders jacket has the kind of translucent shine you really only get from horsehide. This beauty is a black tea-core dye, meaning that as you wear it and that shine fades a bit, you'll start to see the natural browns of the leather poke through. We've seen this effect before, and trust us, it's mesmerizing. It's the type of antiquing everyone wants, but you can only get from the right kinds of leather. That all starts with this super soft chrome tanned horsehide from Himeji, the tanning capital of Japan. All the finishing touches that make this jacket iconic "Iron Heart" quality are listed below. The real story starts a few wears down the road when this thing starts to age to perfection.

Iron Heart - 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt With Snaps - Indigo.

We're very, very pleased with these shirts. They were a "yes" right away. Take our favorite 12oz indigo fabric in our favorite style - the work shirt, then slap on some bone-colored snaps and you've got something really special. The white snaps pop off this one-rinse indigo like crazy. You've also got beautiful runoffs and all the details you know and love from Iron Heart. "Snap" these up before this special edition of the work shirt disappears.

Iron Heart - 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt With Snaps - Black.

This one's kind of a funny story. Turns out, this was supposed to be a black/black fabric with the same bells and whistles. While that's a dope option that will be coming down the pipeline in a few months, this beauty is kind of like a miss-print bill. It's already a really cool design as it's a work shirt but with snaps, but it's also an accidental fabric. As Alex said, it's still a beautiful part of the repertoire. The cream weft we think makes for a beautiful piece that almost tricks the eye. It kind of looks like indigo, but if you look just hard enough you can tell that the weft is black.

Field Notes - United States Letter Press 3-Pack C.

Field Notes 48th Quarterly Limited Edition for the Fall of 2020 is the “United States of Letterpress,” which features the work of nine independent letterpress shops from across America. This series demonstrates a wide array of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and love for the age-old and tactile process of letterpress printing.

With the help of their friends at Finch Paper of Glens Falls, New York, and The French Paper Company of Niles, Michigan, they shipped each shop a different color cover stock (all from French’s Pop-Tone line) and specified the same two ink colors (Rubine Red and Process Blue) for all of them. The results are as varied and thoughtful as the participants involved.

Continuing a tradition embossed into the history of American letterpress printing, the layouts, themes and messages are highly personal statements about heritage, geography, tradition, and social issues, and they also demonstrate the diversity and strength of today’s letterpress community.

COF Studio - Shacket Brushed Left Twill - Terracotta.

The first thing that drew us to this Shacket is the oversized pockets. The color was an obvious catch too. Terracotta is an amazing earth tone that pairs with nearly everything. C.O.F. never disappoints in fabric selection and this brushed left-hand twill is pretty glorious. It's wonderfully soft from the brush yet hardy enough to feel like a shirt-jacket.

COF Studio - Overshirt Moleskin - Brick.

One thing has consistently got people's attention from C.O.F. It's these overshirts. They fit like a glove and they're always done up in the best materials. These shirts can hold a candle to any other brand we carry in the store based on their construction and material selection. We're really happy with the black snaps this time. This piece is a killer entry into the fall and we're super excited to share it with you.

Freenote - 28oz Deck Sweatshirt - Olive.

We've been wearing one of these for over two years now, and it only keeps getting better. These are by far the heaviest crew neck sweatshirts we've ever put on. They're insanely well constructed and are probably the best in the industry. We love the updated tagging this round and the extra-long runoff on the v-insert. The neckline is set a little higher on the collar for these, which we find to be a great asset later down the road - that way you don't wind up with that stretched-out neck. They're an insanely good layering piece and at a price per pound weight that you just can't beat.

Freenote - 13oz Shifter Tee LS - Natural Combo.

When I tell you we've been waiting for this shirt for longer than we could handle, we mean it. It has been nearly 4 years since we first saw the shifter design. We missed it then, and we've been waiting not so patiently ever since. Well, it's finally here and we're in love. We love the combo of a plain pocket tee body with striped sleeves. It definitely lives up to its moto-centric moniker in that stripe sleeves have been a bikers uniform for ages. We like this more a fashion piece, but don't we always? We'll 100% be taking one of these home this time. We hope you will too!

Freenote - 9oz Calico Shirt - Indigo Denim.

The Calico has always been a staple at the shop. We're not sure why, but we don't think we've ever had it in the 9oz indigo denim. It's really gorgeous in person, especially with the addition of the pearl white, roped bone buttons. If you look at the macros, you can see the slightest bit of indigo crocking from the rinse that lets you know this shirt is going to fade like crazy. It's truly a work of art that will have you wanting to put all other shirts away until this one is properly broken in.

Dehen - Wool Knit Watch Cap - Loden/Navy Mix.

We knew the instant we laid hands on these watch caps that they were coming home to the shop. The ability to wear them both single cuffed and double cuffed is a huge selling point. Dehen has used their tried and true infamous knitting machines for these, but with an alternative stitch for a softer hand feel. Notice the zig-zag stitch at the top of the cuff...one of the most appealing details in our opinion. And also, this is a seasonal color. From all of our previous experiences, once these are gone, they don't come back.

RGT - Supply Jacket - Double Indigo Lined.

Launches Friday, January 14th at 12am EST (Thursday at midnight).

Well, well, well...Rogue Territory has managed to outdo themselves once again. The Supply Jacket is 1000% a staple from these guys, but they've found a way to do it in a new light, one we think dressed it up. This may seem like a blanket lined jacket from the outside, but it's actually a two-ply twill fabric. You may ask yourself what the difference between twill and denim is. The answer is not much, as denim is a twill. The truth is, denim typically get's it's own distinction because it's so unique, so for the purposes of this jacket we'll stick with twill. The interior is a poly cotton blend striped pattern meant to mimic a blanket liner. Now why would you want something mimicking the real thing? Simply because the waxed, blanket-lined ridgeline jackets are a one weather jacket...and that's cold as hell. This jacket is a 3 season piece that from which you'll get the most band for you buck. It's truly a remarkable fabric that will have you lusting over it every time your roll up the cuff.
