MSP-5011 - "Patched" Denim Western Shirt - Indigo
Maru Sankaku Peke O△X - "Patched" Denim Western Shirt - Indigo
Maru Sankaku Peke is definitely the outward fringes of heritage. They push the limits, and we like that. Their brand motto is "seeking exciting clothes, not fancy clothes" which is something we stand behind 100%. We've had our eyes on these patchwork western shirts for just that reason. They're exciting as hell. They've taken patches from vintage shirting to create geometric patterns that give the boho look an instantly elevated feel. Every year, the re-release this shirt but change the pattern just slightly. You'll notice scraps of shirting on the edge of the twin chest pockets. Each shirt has a varied color on the chest and within the pattern on the back.

- Twin chest pockets
- Varying patchwork on collar, yoke, and pockets

We would highly recommend sizing up once from your typical North American size. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest and wears a Medium in North American brands while wearing a Large in most Japanese brands.

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.
