15THL12 - 15.7oz Anniversary Side Pocket Type II Jacket - Left Hand Twill
Momotaro - 15th Anniversary Side Pocket Type II Jacket - Left Hand Twill
Man, oh man, have we been waiting on these for a while. We had customers telling us about them before we ever even knew the anniversary series was a thing. Well, they've truly delivered this time with some incredibly stunning 15.7oz Left Hand Twill. This one is for the beige/brown weft lovers *raises hand. We can not wait to see you break this in, because we've seen what the fabric looks like (it's shown below). This will honestly be the piece everyone wishes they had snagged when it's gone.
They've also hit it with a one-wash treatment to make this weighty, yet soft fabric even softer. The details you see throughout will absolutely blow your mind. We're talking a gold and peach metallic selvedge ID. We're also talking custom branding work throughout. The indigo-dyed deerskin leather has a foil 15 and a custom peach boy with an Eboshi hat. This all relates back to royalty and a coming-of-age ceremony when a Samurai clan member would turn 15. You've got gold brass embossed buttons that shine like no other and copper rivets throughout. The pocket bags are printed with beautiful little symbols and have a jacquard pattern. The details go on and on and you can see all of them below. This truly is a jacket for the ages.

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.
