15.5oz - Fire Bird Selvedge - Weird Guy
Naked & Famous - 15.5oz Fire Bird Selvedge - Weird Guy
This denim lands right at the denim head vertex for us. 15.5oz denim with a slubby character has James Dant written all over it. They've also loosely woven this denim for an even more textured look. What gives it its wavy, flame-like appearance is that the indigo penetration is high in some spots and low in others. It's absolutely gorgeous in person. We can't get enough of the character both physically and optically. If you're looking for something that will fade both ways, this is the pair. You'll get a grid-like pattern that so many of us seek in our textured denim. In our opinion, this is the best of the non-special edition series this season. It feels like it deserves to be in its own annually renewing category to be honest. And the price is a steal.

Fit Notes: Andy is wearing a size 30 in the Weird Guy Fit. That is his classic size. These have plenty or room in the waist and rise to accommodate the heavier weight. He had no trouble slipping them on even though they were heavier. The buttons take a while to work in, but you can loosen them with a wooden dowel. Shop Owner Tommy would also wear a size 30 in these. He is our standard fit reference and is 5'10", 165lbs with a 32-33" waist.
*The Weird Guy is a standard tapered fit with a medium rise, a comfortable top block, and a taper from knee to hem.*

The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
