Service Shirt - 15oz Stealth Selvedge
RGT - Service Shirt - 15oz Stealth Selvedge
For Fall/Winter this year, we finally had the opportunity to see RGT in the flesh in their warehouse in Los Angeles. We were blown away by the fabrics and production quality on this run. This Service Shirt (which, let's be honest, is more of a jacket) in their highly coveted 15oz Stealth selvedge is the perfect shirt for fall 3 seasons. Being unlined allows you to pick your lining. A nice crew neck, button-up, or hoodie works incredibly with this shirt/jacket. Black snaps, a selvedge ticker, made in Japan woven tag, runoffs, and handwarmer pockets are just a few of the things that make us love this piece. The fact that it is going to age incredibly well is another. The rope dyed black selvedge will age like indigo. The cheese dyed charcoal weft will stay colorfast. Ultimately, you're looking at some incredibly dusty fades when you break this thing in. We don't expect these to stick around long as they are one of RGT's best creations to date.
- Black/Grey: 15oz Proprietary Stealth Selvedge
- Custom black snaps
- Hand warmer style welt pockets
- 2 large chest pockets
- Triple-stitch runoffs
- Made in Los Angeles
A variance of .25" is to be expected.
Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy can wear either a medium or small. He is 5'10" and 170lbs. The medium is more a true jacket fit. If you want to layer with this at all, you probably need to stick true to size. Flannels and sweats fit underneath easily in your true size even though it's very rigid at first. For a more trim to the body, only over a tee-shirt look...you should size down one. The arm length is a bit bigger in this meaning you may have to do a half cuff until the fabric pulls up in the elbows.

The "Zero" fabric has been on our radar from the beginning. It's one of, if not the most famous Samurai denim. This is the original 5-button edition. They love this one so much, they send out stickers and pins to commemorate it. This fabric was first introduced in 2004 after a long development period. It broke many looms and many needles along the way. It is their tried and true. They've used an uneven No. 5 yarn for both the warp and weft for maximum fading potential. These things have a sh*tton of character. They finished it off with the gold and red selvedge ticker. We can not wait to see these fade.
The "Zero" fabric has been on our radar from the beginning. It's one of, if not the most famous Samurai denim. Well, this round they've done it with the zipper - another thing not often seen from Samurai. This is no ordinary zipper, it's a Scoville "Gripper" zipper. This fabric was first introduced in 2004 after a long development period. It is their tried and true. They've used an uneven No. 5 yarn for both the warp and weft for maximum fading potential. They finished it off with the gold and red selvedge ticker.
You already know if Samurai produces anything, they're not playing around. So would they do a chino any lighter than 15oz? Most likely not. These things are bonkers. They honestly might as well be a pair of olive selvedge denim, but they have a chino cut. The metallic silver Lamé selvedge line will make them feel even more so like your favorite pair of jeans. These might be unsanforized, but they've had a factory wash to alleviate almost all of that shrinkage. We simply had to see what a Chino from Samurai would look like, and we weren't disappointed. We absolutely love the fabric and we're enamored with the looser, super comfy fit. This is a wardrobe starter for guys looking to get out of their super tight selvedge denim.
How could we say no to these jeans? They have custom hardware designed to pay homage to jeans from the 1940s/50s. Their Otokogi denim is 100% Texas cotton known for its rough texture and impeccable vintage fading qualities. It's a short fibre cotton that creates the rough texture you see. Normally, those fibers are removed to make the cotton smooth, but Samarui adds more to ramp it up even more. They've also used 100% Texas cotton sewing throughout, something we rarely see these days. This denim is for the purist at heart. As the denim is spun at a high tension, even post soak/wash they will become even more stiff (luckily they're only 15oz to start, and not 25). This will result in some of the best fading denim on the planet.
We are absolutely blown back by this fabric. For one, it's not your traditional wabash stripe. They've used throwing stars for the pattern - an incredible idea. To us, the raw fabric is pretty contrasting up front. It can be hard to imagine how it will age. But luckily, they've done that for us and we think it takes the perfect amount of sting out of that contrast. It makes this shirt perfect for comfort and aesthetics up front. That's all not to mention that it's an indigo x black denim. That's what gives this shirt is beautiful, deep, shadowy indigo color. And if you look on the inside, you'll notice the fabric is a few shades darker...so when you roll up your cuffs you get to see that wonderful character. This shirt is simply stunning. We're so glad we brought it to the shop.
