Kapital

If you guys want anything Kapital, even the most obscure item from the current season, hit up Jonathan Lucacek on his blog, The Bandana Almanac. He's a great guy to work with and super trustworthy. I just ordered a Tezomeya organic loopwheeled tee from him. Tezomeya is the shit, they only use natural dyes. I got the Old Bamboo/ODG color.
Recently ordered a few of these myself. Can't wait for them to ready…
and to echo Mike, Jonathan is a great guy to work with and super helpful.

Yeah, Love the items they have, but all are to tiny for me..

Kapital is one of those brands I wish more people knew about. I have one of the chore coats and its like a second skin. Ive actually don't chores in it lol. Havent had a chance to pick up a pair of their jeans yet but I will soon. Great hefty denim with superb feel.

I am addicted to anything Kapital right now. I feel like Kapital is similar to RRL except with a Japanese flare. They are heavily driven by things like say the American frontier . I love that they use old techniques when sewing items together .Like when they make a shirt that has been repaired the way a farmer might patch a jacket to extend its life. I can go on for days about Kapital but Unfortunately i am yet to own anything. Either way one of my favorites along side RRL

I live walking distance from RRL, I wear the jeans I got from them all the time. There's a guy who carries
the Kapital line in Venice, CA., opened about 2-3 months ago. He told me he was going to carry the whole
line so I'm pretty stoked by that, might finally get a pair of their boots I've been wanting for years.
Only issue I have with RRL is that their prices are sky high for stuff that's made in China, great designs
though. -
I love the RRL low straight cut. Probably one of the best cuts for me ATM. & Yea they are def priced through the roof (RRL) They do have great sales online that enable u to grab some stuff a few times a year. U are def lucky being so close to both now. Id be there in a flash lookin for a part time job lol

Would be cool to have you working down the street Sal! I have those jeans, 15.5 oz. Japanese denim
made in the USA. I wear them all the time, great cut and a good weight.
I'm looking forward to seeing what this guy gets in his shop from Kapital's fall/winter line, I'm sure it will be
what's on Kapital's online shop plus a few more goodies… I'll keep you posted. -
Here's a pretty cool interview with KIRO AND TOSHIKIYO. Cool to see how father and son differ a bit in what they want and like for denim washes. Old school vs new school

Kapital Century jeans. Pretty interesting denim

I kind of like the weave, though I am not sure if it's really a serge de nimes, a "denim". I guess it could be with just super irregular warps. Someone with more expertise than I would have to clear that one up.

I think he's wetting himself. That's how I look when I'm emptying a full bladder.
