UB469 - 18oz Slub Selvedge - Indigo/Natural Seed - Tight Fit
Unbranded - 18oz Slub Selvedge - Indigo/Natural Seed - Tight Fit
Every year, we wait patiently for the new iteration of the special edition Unbranded release. Well, it's finally here and it's beyond the pale. They're gone even heavier this round with an 18oz powerhouse. In the past, the slub has been "big slub." This time, it's more of a subtle slubbiness. From all of our experience, this is that slub that dwells beneath the surface and surprises you with the first couple of washes (because it's a short slub). It's not outwardly heavily knotted, but you can see the grid pattern that we can ensure will show up as this denim fades. The weft is this nice warm tone because the natural cotton was never bleached. This will poke through the open spaces in the slub on the front of the denim. You'll also notice the unevenness of the thicker and thinner yarns when you flip the cuff. This is what will ultimately give you all that colorful textures. This is also the first time they've done that veg-tan patch. These are so beautiful and we're so excited to be able to launch them!

Fit Notes: The Tight fit has a medium rise, slim through the seat and thigh with a sharp taper from knee to hem. It is the equivalent of the Naked & Famous Super Guy. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 31 in all three fits for continuity. they do truly seem to have the same waists from size to size. It's just the base that varies. So we would wear a 31 in all of these. Tommy is 5'10", 170lbs with a 32-33" waist.
Apparel
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.
