Tanuki x Graph Zero - Indigo Sashiko Utility Pants - Sumi Overdye
Tanuki x Graph Zero - Indigo Sashiko Utility Pants - 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.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 32 in the pictures. This is his typical size in Tanuki. These were an easy fit as the top block is a bit roomier. They also have a true mid-rise that makes them easier to fit, without sacrificing that nice taper from the knee to the ankle. Pay close attention to those size charts, as they're always your best bet for getting the best fit. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 32-33" waist depending on the rise.

12oz - Dusty Rose Denim - Weird Guy
Goodness, it's good to see some variation in pants this Summer. We've definitely got the most diverse lineup of pant colors and fabrics we've ever had, so why not Pink (dusty rose). These are a refreshing slap in the face when all you've been wearing is indigo all day. We knew the second we saw these that they were a cult classic in the making. This is that pair that sells out and people go hunting for it years and years from now. The color is the perfect off-pink color that 99% of people don't have in their wardrobe. It's such a unique, soft fabric that we can see guys wearing all Summer long until they break out their heavy stuff for Winter. And maybe, just maybe, these will make an appearance all year round.

We've been watching from the sidelines for a few years now. We have to admit, shorts were never our forte. But, we've broadened our horizon a bit in the last year and we've become shorts connoisseurs. We could no longer deny that our favorite brands were making shorts just as well as they make everything else. These have a super unique pocket design where the front gusseted pockets nearly mirror themselves as back pockets. It's got the modern flat black coated feather nickel button and an elastic waist for extra comfort. This comes very in handy with a raw denim. They feel stiff up front like a brand-new pair of jeans, but they're so easy to slip on because of that waistband. These will fade with an incredibly shadowy look. We know some guys are going to make these pop with blueberry blue in just a few months, and we can't wait to see it.
9oz Fatigue Shorts - Alpenflage Camo
We've been watching from the sidelines for a few years now. We have to admit, shorts were never our forte. But, we've broadened our horizon a bit in the last year and we've become shorts connoisseurs. We could no longer deny that our favorite brands were making shorts just as well as they make everything else. These have a super unique pocket design where the front gusseted pockets nearly mirror themselves as back pockets. It's got the classic feather nickel button and an elastic waist for extra comfort. We clearly have a bit of a problem with camo (we can't keep our hands off of it). And this is the most unique camo we've seen to date. It's full of unexpected colors and busyness that it almost becomes a plain. That's how we look at the wildest patterns. You can wear them with anything because they become their own amorphous thing.
This is a first for us. Karl has modified the "Field Shirt" slightly for this short sleeve version, but it still holds true to its origins. The major differences are the chopped-off sleeves and the more uniform pocketing. It still has a boxier silhouette and a pen slot in the left pocket. They've also used those iconic black catseye buttons. The fabric is for sure the star of the show. This selvedge twill is as buttery as buttery gets. It has a nice tight weave for a smooth finish that feels extremely luxurious. They've also given us those little pokes of selvedge ticker in the side gussets and on the placket. This shirt kind of ties it all together. It's a bit of what RGT has been known for, for so many years. It's a gorgeous piece to add to any collection.
