12.5oz - New Rainbow Core Selvedge - Super Guy
Naked & Famous - New Rainbow Core Selvedge - Super Guy
For the past few years, we don't think we've heard more whispers about the return of a product than the rainbow core. They are legend amongst the raw denim faders of the world, and every once in a while...a fully broken in pair pops up and the whole internet loses its collective mind. There's something so special about a fabric that doesn't show its true character until you've put in the work. Well, no pair is more revealing with ample time and wear than the core series. And, no pair is more sought after than the rainbow core.
This round, they've gone for even more color. This "New Rainbow Core" has the full ROYGBIV color spectrum. The secret to this denim is the dye method. Traditionally their indigo denim is rope dyed with white or natural cotton yarn. For this denim, they've used a process called "reactive dyeing" to ensure that the core of the denim stays permanently saturated with the colors of the rainbow. They're then coated with Indigo which makes the rainbow disappear until you put in the work to draw it back out. As the indigo crocks and fades in all the high-use, heavy-abrasion areas...there's your pop of rainbow. These are cut, sewn, built in Canada with contrast stitching, a brown raging bull leather patch, along with silver metallic buttons and rivets. Happy fading!

Fit Notes:
Fit Notes:
The Super Guy is a skinny fit with a medium rise, a slim top block, and a taper from knee to hem. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 31. This is his normal super guy size. These fit pretty true to size, from our experience. Scope the measurements for the most accurate fit. Tommy is 5'10" and 162lbs with a 32-33" waist.

It's been some time since we've had indigo denim from Freenote, and we couldn't think of a better introduction than this blue/brown. If you know anything about our preferences, you know we love an earth-tone weft. Well, it doesn't get any more earthy than this. The brown on these is deeper than any we've seen from persimmon, turmeric, or catechu dyes in the past. It's a true mocha-colored brown that we think makes for one hell of a stylistic denim. The contrast between indigo and brown is a lot less harsh than that of a traditional jean, and this makes for a better-looking cuff in our opinion. It's also right in our sweet spot for weight. We really dig anything between 14-16oz. It has the perfect amount of crunch to give you all of those wonderful lines around the legs without being so hard to break in. This is the fabric we've been waiting for Freenote to work with for years!

CD-4 Jacket - Black
When we saw this fabric, even via catalog images, we knew we had to have it in the shop. It's such a unique twist for the guys at Freenote that lends to a more contemporary look. If you're like us, you'll think this baby is waxed up front. Crazy enough, it's not. This is a double pigment dyed fabric from Japan that gives off the look of a waxed piece, without all the upkeep of a waxed piece. It has a nice crunchy texture to it that even feels waxed in person. We couldn't believe our ears when they told us about it at a recent show. It's lined throughout the body with Alpaca and the sleeves have this gorgeous burnt orange satin. This thing is truly luxurious. It's so warm and looks so damn good. It functions like an N-1 at about half the price!
Jepson Sashiko Plaid - Indigo
The Jepson is a known staple at this point, but their ability to make it look new with every release is pretty astonishing. We said that last time but they've done it again. A mix of sashiko and plaid is almost too much to handle. It's a classic 2 pocket shirt that can be worn with almost anything. It has so many layers to explore right now, and even more, will expose its true nature once the indigo starts to fade. This baby is a standalone piece that doesn't really need other layers to make it pop.
Kurt Jacket - Indigo Single Stripe
The single stripe has become a staple at the shop over the last couple of years, but always in pant form. When we saw this classic chore coat-style work jacket come up, we couldn't say no. This fabric always constructs so nicely and the indigo pops like crazy when it's hit with the one wash. We are super intrigued by the mismatched pockets and all the extra sewing work throughout. The extra pockets and banded collar are the extra details that draw you in, but most people stay for that gorgeous Japanese fabric.
