Tanuki x Graph Zero - Indigo Sashiko Type 3 Jacket - Sumi Overdye
Tanuki x Graph Zero - Indigo Sashiko Type 3 Jacket - Sumi Overdye
Tanuki is another brand that's been on our radar for quite some time. The more modern takes on vintage classics were something we always appreciated. And the simplicity of the branding is really alluring to us. We love how they incorporate it in the design of the apparel. They have been one of the most pleasant brands to work with and we can't wait to get this journey started with a brand that has an eye on the future while keeping one foot in the past.
Tanuki has been working on this collaboration with the famed denim makers Graph Zero, out of Kojima, for over two years! That level of dedication to a project is inspiring. If we could take 3 of our favorite things about this world and mash them together, it would be this collaboration. One, this is made with Supima. You know we love Supima - the American cotton which only proper certification allows you to make. Two, they've used natural rope-dyed indigo for the base. Natural indigo is the purest form of what we've always lusted after. Third, they overdyed it with black...but not just any black. This overdye is a Sumi ink - the medium used for Japanese calligraphy. How can it get better than this? We're not sure it can. This is the pinnacle. And we didn't even mention everyone's favorite buzz fabric...Sashiko! This is a denim head's peak fantasy. It embodies everything we care about in one piece. And, they went and topped it with the perfect royal blue tag work that acts as the sprinkles on the cupcake.

A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 40 in the pictures. Even though these have a way bigger chest measurement than we're used to...his true size still fits. He is normally a M or 40 from most brands, and that held true here. Their type three is built to be a bit of a looser cut than the typical Type 3's we're used to. This allows you to actually button the front in your true size. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.

18oz - Big Slub Selvedge - Weird Guy
We can never pass up slub. It's the thing about Japanese denim that we never knew the name for and could never quite put our finger on until Naked & Famous opened our eyes to its wonders. It's the easiest, and best-looking fade you can get if you want that contrast. It also looks damn good throughout the entire break-in process due to those uneven slub yarns they use in the raw material stage. There are no dull days with this kind of fabric. They've stepped this pair up to an Elephant weight (their heaviest weight series, if you're not already familiar). Normally they only come out with denim this heavy once a year, but we've been lucky enough to get a full-blown, starchy, crunchy, fade-competition-worthy pair at the start of the year. The price is also impeccable for denim this weight. This fabric is actually a reissue from their very first line in 2008. This year is somewhat of a victory lap for N&F as they celebrate their 15th. It was an extremely popular denim back then, and it's bound to be the same all these years later.

The first time we got the Pima pocket tee in just black, it was gone overnight. We couldn't package them up and get them out quickly enough. And, it was for good reason. These things are silky smooth to the touch, and of course, that transfers to how they feel on body. Pima cotton is an incredible, versatile fabric and 3sixteen did it justice with this cut. They've now transferred the garment-dye process you know from the heavyweight tees to the Pima's. You will recognize these two colors as they were insanely popular a few years back. These were by far the two most popular garment dyes we've ever sold over the years. We've had some experience with how the color ages, and we can tell you that it gets even better with time.
Utilizing American grown Pima cotton knit into a luxuriously soft yet durable 160 GSM jersey, these t-shirts feature a slightly elongated and relaxed fit in comparison to their Heavyweight counterparts.
In comparison to their heavyweight jersey, the Pima tees have more drape and a softer, silkier hand. The tees also have a triple-needle coverstitched never-sag collar that stays tight around the neck over extended wears and washes.

GG Sweat Crewneck - 269 Baby Pink
Jackman continues to impress us with every delivery. This round, we shifted gears into the world of mid-heavyweight sweats. This piece is as good of a sweatshirt as we've ever seen (and we don't say that lightly). The GG stands for grainy because this fabric has such character. They use two different yarn thicknesses in the knitting process in their factory in Fukui. The decorative yarn creates a whole heck of a lot of texture that you'll feel from the get-go. The crew neck features and extra long ribbing to mirror vintage sweaters of old. And, with all the amazing products we've carried over the years...we wouldn't be surprised if you're the most impressed with these. We're super stoked to have some Miami Vice, pastel colors for this season. They can be that pop to your otherwise earthy wardrobe.
This is a crewneck that uses domestic thick yarn and uses GG fleece that has both thickness and softness. The back is not brushed and can be worn for 3 seasons. The milling cutter (rib) also uses two threads to improve durability - a cover stitch over a grounding stitch. The back is also raglan to eliminate the sharpness of the shoulders.
Made in Japan.
