Other Brands - New Releases
-
I dont know if it's me, but whenever I check SE or BIG, and look for new stuff from other denim brands, I see very little new stuff and among whatever is new, even fewer exciting products. By comparison, IH seems to be on a permanent rut to put out new variations of pants and other products.
In particular, I havent seen anything new from Pure Blue Japan, which is a shame, because models like the AI-02 or the XX-07 are absolutely wonderful. The AI-01 and 02 fabric is one of the most exciting I've ever come across and I'd love more stuff with it…
Or Momotaro, man, their pants are dope, but nothing new has emerged in a while.
I could go on: Sugar Cane, nothing new in how long?
What brands are a bit more active in your opinion???

We've gotten loads of new stuff from Flat Head, Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson, Strike Gold, and more… especially from SC and FH. They release loads of new items all year round, it's almost impossible to keep up.

Aha!
I just saw on page 147 of the Denim and Work Style issue of Lightning that Pure Blue Japan was offering the following models:
24-005 24oz indigo
24-010 24oz purple face
24-007 24oz deep indigopriced between Yen 31,500 and Yen 34,650.
I searched the web but could not find these anywhere, so I guess they're not out yet. But these are definitely going to be coming my way (well, maybe not the purple face). The fabric on the XX-07 deep indigo is something else.

Dayum, the 24-010 could be tempting me. Thanks for the info.

they looked pretty nice, but it was really only the purple face that was very interesting

Studio D'Artisan has had a couple of nice new models come out in the past month or so that greatly interest me:
D1507- Natural indigo 17 oz. unsanforized denim, the same used in last year's SP-013 30th Anniversary model. Cut is based on the '66. Exposed back pocket rivets, triple-stitched yoke and back, black jacquard yoke lining, half-lined rear pockets, and rear pocket reinforcement.
X's-31- 21 oz. unsanforized denim with indigo warp and black sulfur dyed weft. Cut is based on SD-103. Hidden back pocket rivets, zip fly, triple-stitched yoke and back, half-lined rear pockets, hair-on-hide pigskin patch.

Oh wow those are pretty nice… first time anything studio d'artisan has really caught my eye

Yeah, they're not talked about a lot in the US among the major high end Japanese denim brands, but they've put out some of the coolest limited edition models (i.e. XXX-28, SP-013) in the past few years that I've seen, all kinda under the radar from the US.

I was able to contact:
1. BIG's Gordon (great guy, btw) = he said they would be ready end of January
2. Pure Blue Japan and they told me the jeans were currently being manufactured and would be ready in February,
3. Aikidou, a Japanese store distributed by rakuten who sold me the pair of Evisu x Sugar Canes, and who said early MarchSo lets just say 1Q11!

I've spent the whole of 2011 trying to find new brands in amazing quality that FIT
I've single handedly kept the Royal Mail in business returning jeans all over the globe and the only thing that got lost was the one I didn't insure!!!
So I got a book of stamps as compensation!I think I've ordered a pair from every single jeans maker on the planet (spent a fortune on my cards) and I'm nearly through for this year - 2 more to try and if they fit - hurrah!champagne all round - if not, I'll give up until 2012…..which is just a few hospital visits away now.
Actually of course I follow all the collections so I already know what I'll be chasing next year....2011 started badly, first pair returned in January (had been ordered previous December from US, and that set the pattern for the year.
Praying that next year I'll find a great Jap brand that makes serious jeans for 43 year olds that look 14 and can fit into age 8!!!
If the last 2 pairs fit then my sole activity of jeans chasing during 2011 has been worth it despite the stress.

DC4 has some PBJ 24oz. I guess it is the 005 that I tried.
They may not be on site yet, but you can try and contact Daniel for further info…
