16oz Okayama Spirit 5 - Super Guy
Naked & Famous - 16oz Okayama Spirit 5 - Super Guy
Every year, the Okayama spirit blows us away. We've heard Bahzad piping this pair up for a while, and now we see why. We've seen a lot of black/blue denim of the years...but nothing like this. It's like the starch-o-mater hit this bad boy with an extra dose. It's going to create incredible creasing which will allow the shadowy fades created by all that darkness to pop through very quickly. If you loved the irregular slub yarns creating a cascading, waterfall effect on the Okayama 4...you're gonna lose it for this.
The Okayama Spirit 5 is a 16oz Japanese Selvedge denim made with a major emphasis on texture and high contrast fade results. The uneven surface texture running throughout the denim comes from the use of irregular shaped slub in the weaving process. These yarns are thick in some parts and thin in others, giving the jeans loads of texture and when dyed indigo is absorbed unevenly allowing for a wide spectrum of indigo shades to present themselves with wear. Low tension weaving creates further irregularity in the fabric for an almost handwoven appearance. Finally, a black weft interior gives the jeans an ultra-deep color tone, which will contrast beautifully against the exterior as it fades to brighter shades of indigo. The Okayama Spirit 5 is sanforized, so there should be minimal shrinkage when soaked or washed. Cut, sewn, built in Canada with contrast stitching, redline selvedge ID, a 10oz black buffalo leather patch, and black mil-spec non-reflective buttons and rivets.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 32 in the pictures. He decided to go up one for ease of use during the photoshoot, but also to show how wearing one size up fit. There was enough room in the waist that he would very quickly need a belt, but the legs felt nice. If you want to take this route you will probably like the fit, as it is a super stiff denim to start. He could wear either a 31 or 32 depending on the intended fit. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 32-33" waist.
*The Super Guy is a skinny fit with a medium rise, a slim top block, and a taper from knee to hem.*
Apparel
Merz has been on our list for quite some time. Can you believe they've been around for 111 years? That's currently our oldest brand! They've stuck around because they do something quite incredible with basics. They stand behind the idea that basics can be something to get excited about. So they create the best and put their iconic branding on just the tags. We're so happy to introduce this German line to our store. In the same way we correlate Japanese production to meticulous attention to detail, we correlate German production to impeccable engineering. We hope you love these super-engineered basics!
Their henleys have the best buttons and clock in at at a super light weight that's built for the hottest summer days. These have the wonderful aesthetic of a visible horizontal loopwheeled line throughout. It's super subtle, so you'll have to look closely. They're so soft that these feel like a henley you've been wearing for years. An original flea market find from 1911 is the template for this "worker button-up shirt". Special attention is paid to the authentic processing of the neckline! The collar is turned over very finely by hand twice requiring incredible skill. This is exactly how the neckline of this shirt was originally processed 100 years ago since comfortable modern edging machines did not yet exist. In addition, the attached button placket made of cotton fabric and the original laundry buttons make this shirt a special eye-catcher.

This heavy loopwheeled tee is the epitome of an easy-going look thanks to its relaxed fit, the fabric’s slight slub structure, and the detailed neckline, which is an eye-catcher in its own right. This piece is special in many ways: the loopwheeled fabric is unique from the ground up, and the slight slub structure adds an even more casual look to it. And while this T-shirt is a serious matter with a weight of 13.4 oz. / 380 grams, it still feels soft, good, and comfortable in every moment! We compare it to the heaviest tee we've ever carried, but as if it's been power-washed to make it easy to wear.
Hawaiian Shirt - Ice Tiger
The Hawaiian tiger shirt is forever going to be a Japanese icon. This proprietary fabric Freenote locked down seems to impress year after year. The mixture of the indigo-dyed linen and that gorgeous tiger print is truly perfect. It's such a rich, royal color of indigo and it gives the instant impression of a white tiger. They've finished this beauty off wtih mother of pearl buttons.
The Alamo Shirt - Tiger Heron
The Alamo is a staple for us nearly every year. When they introduce new colors, we all collectively get a little giddy. This year's central color outlier color is this Tiger Heron. It's a wonderful shade of red that's not too in your face. It is kind of the classic red mechanic shirt color you just know when you see it. The corozo nut buttons always give the piece a nice pop of contrast and the construction never fails. The 1/8" single-needle stitching lends to this military-style silhouette. Luckily, this time you can grab the sturdy but soft cotton Alamo in a color that will hold up for a lifetime.
We really, really love the Dotsume pocket tee...but we know they're not for everyone. It takes a lot of effort, and just the right temperature to put on a tee that heavy. When we first laid our hands on the lighter-weight, USA cotton version of it we knew that it carried the same quality in construction and fit, but a more versatile fabric. This pigment process adds so much character to the shirt and is a special edition for SS23.
This version of the pocket T-shirt is made from cotton which is mainly produced in the cotton-growing area of the Mississippi River basin in the United States. Air spinning produces a cotton fluff with a length of 13 mm to 33 mm which then becomes yarn by centrifugal force. This creates a crisp texture. They also feature traditional details from the 1890s including the oversized pocket and W stitching. The flash gusset on the bottom of the pocket is a special specification that's meant to reduce sweat from moistening the inside of the pocket.
Made in Japan.
