If you are getting tired of those bland peacoats, check out Mister Freedom’s Denim version for J.Crew. It is based on a Merchant Navy sailor’s jacket from 1910 and is made from dark indigo “sc301 okinawa” Japanese selvedge denim. Available at J.Crew on-line shop for $590.

The Hundreds, who were on hand at the Capsule Trade Show, found time to showcase an upcoming denim brand, Naked & Famous. All of their denim’s made in Canada from Japanese fabrics, and all of the jeans are raw. Recently they introduced a selection of button-up woven shirts that are made in the oldest shirt factory in America.
Here is a look at Huf’s bottoms for the Fall 2009 Collection. The denim is offered in both slim and regular fit. Ranging in various washes and finishes, which include raw indigo / rinsed indigo / raw black / rigid grey. The canvas pant is constructed from a heavy weight duck canvas. Offered in black / brown / khaki. All manufactured right here in the USA.
For Self Edge’s 8th collaboration they bring the SEXI08, a 18.5cm slim cut jean made of 15oz unsanforized denim. They’ve moved the production of this jean to Japan, where normally Imperial’s jeans are made in Australia. Moving the production to Japan enabled us to work closely with the factory and the mill that produced the denim. The outcome is a 15oz unsanforized right hand twill denim made in both indigo and black produced in Ibara, Japan. For those that always wanted an Imperial jean to fade like many of the other Japanese lines we carry with a high intensity fade and quite a bit of character, these are for you as they’re sure to age well and fade over time due to the lack of processing the denim has gone through after the weaving process.
