B-01 Slim - 13oz Brown Cotton Selvedge
Benzak - B-01 Slim - 13oz Brown Cotton Selvedge
If one thing is always true it's that we love denim with brown weft. That earth tone acting as a drop shadow to indigo will never not be good to us. The brown cotton Benzak used for this denim is just gorgeous. It sits so nicely against the red ticker and gold inseam that we don't know if it can get any better than this. For a core item that's not so core, everyone should own a pair of brown weft denim. We were really excited to work with Benzak, and then we got our hands on it. At that point, we realized just how incredible their denim selection is and how well they fit. This B-01 Slim seems like a pan that's going to fit nearly everyone just right. It's got that goldilocks feel to it!

A variance of .25" is within standard tolerance.
Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 30 in the images. His typical size is a 31, but these seem to fit just a little bigger. The curved waistband and rise make these instantly comfortable in the top block. The best part is that they still taper nicely to the ankle. Overall, these seem a lot like a "goldilocks" fit to us. It seems to fit everyone. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 32.5-33" true waist measurement.
Apparel
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.
