B-01 Slim - 15oz Vintage Indigo Selvedge - Special #2
Benzak - B-01 Slim - 15oz Vintage Indigo Selvedge - Special #2
When we first saw Benzak, this was the denim we fell in love with. Ony a few times in the past have we seen a dual-color selvedge ticker on a jean. It is so unique that we were instantly drawn to it. This time, you're looking at blue and orange - a perfect combo in our mind. This is only possible because it's a proprietary fabric for Benzak woven in Italy by Candiani. This denim is some of the softest, strongest denim on the planet. It's made with all the quality standards you'd expect from Italian craftsmanship. From afar this denim was beautiful...when we put it on the game changed entirely. The fabric has a heft that you would expect from 15oz denim. So, when you pick it up and slip it on you're expecting a long and arduous break-in. As soon as you get your first leg in, you're in for a surprise. The weft side of this denim is soft as butter. It's almost as if some power fabric like cashmere has been woven in. But, the reality is it's just cotton. It's what Candiani does. They make the unmakeable! This pair will have your senses flying all over the place. It's Benzaks Special #2, and it's otherworldly.

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
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.

If you're looking for the densest pocket tee on the market, here it is. We've had tees from some of the hardiest manufacturers out there, and they don't hold a candle to these Dotsume tees. They honestly blew us away. This type of tee shirt makes you purge all the weaker, lower-quality versions from your closet. This round, they partnered with the infamous Lavenham for the pocket detail. It's a wonderful "techy" upgrade to give the shirt an even more contemporary feel. They're pretty damn cool in person, we must admit.
A collaboration model completed by the UK's leading factory brand "LAVENHAM" and the Japanese factory brand "Jackman" focuses on each other's strong points. It is a collaboration of factories for more than 50 years, in which brands are connected by diamonds polished from rough stones. This is a combination of Jackman's unique Tianzhu material and Lavenham's unique quilted pockets.
