23oz - King of Lords Selvedge - Super Guy
Naked & Famous - King of Lords Selvedge - Super Guy
Snow came early this year! Well, we thought they outdid themselves with the Lord of Nep. Then, we thought...there's no way they can beat the King of Slub. Well my friends, we were wrong. They've gone ahead and combined the two for what can only be described as a manufacturing feat of genius. This is now the slubbiest and neppiest denim on the planet. Nothing comes close. It's also the softest 23oz denim we've ever felt. They seriously feel like heavyweight pair of pants with the nep acting like the soft loops of terry cloth. We got these on and didn't want to take them off. The photoshoot was so much fun and it has us contemplating if we need to add this to the archives for milestone's sake.
The King of Lords Selvedge is a 23oz Japanese selvedge denim merging the King of Slub and Lord of Nep to create the slubbiest and neppiest denim ever achieved. The denim is created by combining the extremely irregular shaped and bumpy King of Slub yarn on the exterior warp, and the super textured and knotted Lord of Nep yarns on the interior weft. Woven on vintage shuttle looms at a low tension to further intensify the texture. Over time with wear, as the indigo starts to fade, a wide gradient of indigo becomes visible, and the extreme thickness of the yarn allows for a three-dimensional textured fade opposite the white cotton neppy flecks. The jeans have been pre-washed to remove shrink from the fabric as the denim was too neppy to go through traditional fabric finishing processes. Other details include contrast stitching, buffalo leather patch, red selvedge ID, and silver metallic buttons and rivets.

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. You would think with them being 23 oz that these would be a tough squeeze, but they did us the favor of rinsing the denim to make it even softer. These were a breeze to slip on. Don't get us wrong, you can feel the weight...but it's nothing close to the bark-like texture of the original King of slub. 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.
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.
