Viberg Service Boot
Tobacco Chamois, 2030 Last

This Tobacco Chamois is a vegetable-re-tanned leather from Chicago’s Horween Leather Co. Tannery. It’s a flesh-up roughout that’s generously oiled. This creates a deep, tobacco-brown hue with a durable, weatherproof finish.

The boot is built on Viberg’s E-width 2030 last. It takes its cues from archival Canadian military boots, cutting a sleek but not too narrow silhouette. It makes for a great middle ground between a work boot and a dressier style.

Studio D'Artisan "Kaki-Kyoku" Type II Selvedge Denim Jacket16oz, Kakishibu Dyed

Studio D’Artisan celebrates its 45th anniversary with this super slubby, persimmon-dyed Type II jacket. The texture and heft here are off the charts. Studio D’Artisan have woven No. 6 slub/nep yarns with No. 5 super slub yarns to achieve new dimensions of tactile character.

Before weaving, the warp yarns are dyed Kasezome-style in natural Kakishibu (fermented persimmon dye). This yields an earthy amber cast that, when woven with the undyed super slub weft, takes on a terracotta hue.

Executed in a true Type II style, this workwear-style jacket is finished with dual chest pockets, cast iron buttons, copper rivets, and signature knife pleats—a piece truly worthy of its “Kyoku” (極, “pinnacle”) name.

SD-108 Jeans
15oz, Relaxed Tapered

Studio D’Artisan’s relaxed tapered SD-108s are freshly restocked.

The SD-108 has a roomy thigh but retains a gentle taper through the leg to create a clean finish. It’s a flattering and comfortable style that’s ideal for those who prefer a touch more wiggle room in their jeans.

The denim itself is a 15oz indigo selvedge, woven on vintage shuttle looms. It’s got plenty of woven texture and charm, with a deep blue cast. Over time, that deep indigo will yield a nice, high-contrast fade.

Comme des Garçons
Made-in-Japan Outerwear, Shirting, Trousers & Bags

We’re thrilled to introduce our first spring-summer collection from Japan’s Comme des Garçons Homme.

Homme is a premium Comme des Garçons diffusion line, overseen by Rei Kawakubo’s closest protégé, Junya Watanabe. It showcases a curated selection of made-in-Japan menswear staples and blends understated sophistication with boundary-pushing design. Here, heritage-inspired patterns, fabrics, and silhouettes are reimagined through Homme’s distinct lens - resulting in timeless pieces with a fresh edge.

Most importantly, it’s a collection that complements our existing lineup, pairing really well with our selvedge denim, leather jackets, and bench-made boots and shoes.

Hooded Parka
Beige

This spring-friendly coat is inspired by the sharp, sartorial edge of ‘50s-era parkas. It’s a stylish and practical coat for the months ahead - lightweight and rain-ready, as a good spring coat should be.

Read on for a full rundown of our first collection. And keep an eye out as we bring you more Comme des Garçons in the weeks and months ahead.

Ripstop Bomber Jacket
Black

Comme des Garçons delivers an all-black take on the classic MA-2 CWU Bomber, crafted from durable ripstop cloth with nylon sleeves. All the traditional utility details are here - from large cargo hand-warmer pockets to the signature arm-mounted utility pouch. Finished with ribbed trims and a chunky two-way zip, it’s a sleek, modern riff on a military staple.

Shirting
Navy/White Striped & Sax Blue

Two impeccably crafted cotton shirts, beautifully proportioned with a slightly oversized fit and a dropped shoulder. The craftsmanship here is exceptional. Comme des Garçons have partnered with Japan’s most esteemed workshops to deliver some of the most intricate, precision-focused stitching you’ll find on a shirt.

The Navy/White striped shirt calls on a spread collar and dual pleats at the rear yoke, while the Sax Blue Oxford opts for a button-down collar and a classic box pleat.

Both shirts are finished with embroidered logos at the shirttail hem; a subtle nod to traditional Ivy League monogramming.

Wool & Mohair Pull String Pants
Navy

Comme des Garçons’ Wool & Mohair Pull String Pants are super versatile and super comfy. They blur the line between dress slacks and sweatpants. These soft, drapey trousers feature a roomy leg with a gentle taper. The slightly shorter inseam ensures a clean, zero-break finish, making them a refined option that pairs with just about anything.

Sling Bag & Backpack
Khaki, Black

Tokyo’s Porter Yoshida & Co. has been crafting timeless, functional bags for over sixty years. They draw inspiration from the durable fabrics and heavy-duty construction of archival American military outerwear. Porter effortlessly fuses heritage aesthetics with modern utility.

That ethos carries through in these two collaborative bag options, available in sling bag and backpack formats. The sling bag takes cues from the rugged functionality of historic MA-1 flight jackets with a dense, khaki nylon. The backpack offers a sleek, all-black interpretation of the classic cross-body style.

The Flat Head 8004 Jeans
18oz, Indigo, Straight

The Flat Head’s 8004 jean is an 18oz take on their straight-cut 3004 style. Woven on vintage shuttle looms, this heavyweight selvedge denim has a rain-like texture. This vertical detailing develops what The Flat Head calls a “Doshaburi” or “downpour” fading with wear. The 8004 is one-washed to eliminate shrinkage and comes with a special edition "Doshaburi Fade" bandana.

Dobby Work Shirt
5.5oz, Indigo

Now restocked, The Flat Head’s Dobby Selvedge Work Shirt is substantially textured yet pleasingly airy. The cloth’s dobby weave will yield dusty, vintage-style fades as the shirt breaks in and the indigo dyes fade away. Finished with indigo enamel-coated metal buttons that will also chip and patina as the years roll on.

https://rivetandhide.com/brands/the-flat-head.html

Iron Heart CPO Western Shirt
14oz Herringbone, Black

The IHSH-410 blends the best of two classic styles—the tailored fit and yoke detailing of a Western shirt with the heavyweight construction and handwarmer pockets of a CPO. While heavy-duty herringbone twill is typically reserved for jackets and coats, it works wonders here. The fabric is sulphur-dyed, giving the zig-zag weave a made-to-fade finish. This one’s just a touch longer in the body for a more overshirt-style fit.

Iron Heart Heavy Duty "Tochigi" Leather Belts
Black, Brown, Natural - Nickel or Brass Buckles

Iron Heart’s "Tochigi" belts are made from 4.2mm cowhide treated at Japan’s Tochigi tannery - a workshop famous for its tough and supple hides. These heavy-duty belts use an adjustable, “Chicago screw” construction, more traditionally used on horse harnesses and rifle slings. Now restocked in black, brown, and natural with a choice of brass or nickel hardware.

@m4xime Thank you for coming to us as always. I'll pass your comments on to Alex and Edwin.

3sixteen Club Jacket
Black Twill

Subtly cropped and boxy, 3sixteen’s Club Jacket cuts a classically cool silhouette in mid-weight Japanese twill. The fabric is stonewashed to impart lightly broken-in look and feel with pops of faded nuance. Welted hand-warmer pockets and a brass two-way zip add a touch of utility without compromising the jacket’s clean lines. An inspired throwback to the mechanic jackets of the ‘50s.

Utility Shirt
Crocodile Stonewash Canvas

The Utility Shirt calls on a garment-dyed and stonewashed "Crocodile" canvas. This heavyweight cloth has a time-worn look with subtle signs of ageing. Even fresh off the rack, it feels like an old favorite or a lucky vintage find. Finished with aged metal buttons that promise a patina all of their own.

The Utility Shirt is paired with 3sixteen’s Twill Work Pants, which are now fully restocked in black.

Big Oxford Shirt
Hemp Ecru

3sixteen’s Big Oxford reimagines the Ivy League original with a wider shoulder, a fuller chest, and a shorter body. It’s a balanced and proportional look that breathes new life into a classic style - casually oversized but never too big.

The cotton/hemp fabric is substantial yet airy, with a slubby, irregular texture that really shines through up close. Traditional Oxford detailing - like the button-down collar, mother-of-pearl buttons, and rear box pleat - round out the look nicely.

Rogue Territory Cruiser Jacket
8oz Dry Wax Canvas, Olive

Rogue Territory’s ode to the ’70s-era Type III Trucker is sewn up in a 8oz dry-wax canvas sourced from the UK. The dry-waxing process creates a fabric that’s lightweight and soft to the touch, yet tough and water-repellent. It’s also machine washable. A ruggedly stylish jacket for the summer months to come.

Western Shirt
Rinsed Indigo Selvedge Canvas

Rogue Territory’s Indigo Selvedge Canvas (ISC) meets the brand’s slickly minimal Western shirt silhouette. For those unfamiliar with RGT’s Indigo Selvedge Canvas, it’s a fast-fading fabric, renowned for the way it softens and molds to the body over time. This version comes one-rinsed to kickstart the aging process, but with regular wear, your own high-contrast fades will soon emerge. This is a shirt to really make your own.

Introducing Momotaro's New “Tokuno Blue” Denim
A 14.7oz selvedge in three fits

Momotaro’s all-new Tokuno Blue Zimbabwe cotton selvedge denim has arrived.

This “特濃 - Tokuno Blue” is the result of Momotaro’s relentless pursuit of the deepest, truest shade of indigo—a unique hue achieved through meticulous dyeing and weaving processes.

Momotaro’s Zimbabwe cotton yarns are repeatedly rope-dyed and air-dried for maximum dye absorption, then woven with a higher-than-average density of warp threads. Since the warp yarns are the indigo-dyed portion of the denim weave, this increased density further enhances the fabric’s rich, inky surface.

With a smooth, uniform hand that beautifully complements its deep indigo hues, this denim starts off structured and crunchy but quickly softens up. A low-tension weave process delivers the signature comfort we know and love from Momotaro’s jeans.

The design is clean and minimal: contrast stitching, branded metal hardware, an indigo-dyed leather patch, and a subtle peach-pink selvedge ID at the outseam and hidden inside the coin pocket. The waistline is lined—a small yet thoughtful detail that enhances comfort and reduces indigo transfer when tucking in your tees and shirts.

Momotaro’s Tokuno Blue Selvedge is available in three fits: the M100 Standard Straight, the M200 Standard Tapered, and the M300 Standard Slim.

The M100 fit is a straight-leg silhouette with a mid-rise, a relatively roomy thigh, and a subtle taper from the knee down. For those familiar with Momotaro’s older fits, it closely resembles the 0906 “Classic Straight” fit.

The M200 fit is a relaxed tapered silhouette, most comparable to Momotaro’s 0405 “High Tapered” style. While the M200 features a lower rise, it maintains the roomier thigh and gradual taper of the 0405—ideal for those seeking a sharp look with extra comfort up top.

Finally, the M300 fit is a super slim style akin to Momotaro’s older 0306 “Tight Tapered” cut. It features a mid-rise, a snug top block, and a gentle taper that extends through the entire leg.

Pure Blue Japan 17oz Beige Weft Selvedge Jeans
Slim Tapered & Straight Fits

Pure Blue Japan’s slubby and heavyweight “PBE” selvedge uses a beige-tinted, rope-dyed indigo warp yarn. Rope dyeing imparts a rich indigo coat on the yarn threads without colouring their core. This means that over time, the indigo will fade to reveal the beige centre, producing a sepia fade more reminiscent of selvedge fabrics from decades past.

Samurai Selvedge Denim
17oz Benkei Jeans & 15oz Otokogi Jeans

Now restocked, the Benkei jean from Samurai calls on a custom, 17oz “Bushido” denim. Its structured 6x5 twill weave has a super hairy texture and a crunchy hand upfront but soon softens up significantly. This relaxed tapered fit has a relatively generous top block and a mid/high rise.

Also restocked is Samurai’s slim straight 710 fit in a 15oz “Otokogi” selvedge. This denim is made entirely from Texas cotton, lending it extra levels of texture and character. It’s a denim renowned for producing beautifully contrasting fades with dedicated wear.

Heavyweight Chinos
15oz, Sulphur-dyed Khaki

Up there with the heaviest non-denim trousers we stock, Samurai’s SJ42CP chinos are made from a weighty 15oz selvedge cloth woven on vintage shuttle looms. This fabric has a pronounced twill that will develop a vintage, work-worn charm as the sulphur dyes evolve and fade.

Solid T Shirts
White, Black, Navy

Samurai’s Solid T Shirts are made slowly on circular “Daimaruki” knitting machines – some of Japan’s oldest loopwheelers. Their slower pace produces tees with a luxuriously soft hand and a natural drape. Finished with a triple-stitched collar for a holdfast, zero-sag fit. Back in black and white. Newly available in navy.

@Danny-RnH This looks an awful lot like Kasi's closet

Just need to add some Double Riders and graphic The Flat Head tees and we'd be there.

Iron Heart Waffle Work Shirt
Indigo

Iron Heart’s IHSH-96-IND is a work shirt style in an airy cotton waffle fabric. This lightweight, breathable cloth has a textured, three-dimensional look and feel. It’s a great fader, so expect this one to age with a vintage-style charm over time.

Iron Heart Modified Type III
21oz Zero-Fade Superblack

We’ve just restocked Iron Heart’s zero-fade Type III Trucker. This 21oz denim has a reactive-dyed warp and weft, locking in a jet-black finish even with heavy wear.

21oz “888” Relaxed Tapered Denim
Indigo & Indigo Overdyed Black

Iron Heart’s Relaxed Tapered fit is back in indigo and indigo-overdyed black. The 888 is a great choice for those with bigger thighs who still want a slimmer fit overall. It‘s got a mid-to-high rise, a generous thigh, and a gentle taper. This 21oz selvedge is known for its exceptional break-in, moulding to the body with a comfort and suppleness that might just surprise you for a heavyweight denim.

Medium Shell Cordovan Wallet
Oxblood

This biker wallet is crafted from Japanese shell cordovan and fitted with a solid silver ring for chains. Shell cordovan is tough, lustrous, and typically grainless, giving it a unique surface texture and shine. The wallet’s larger size provides ample storage for cards, notes, and loose change. As you wear it, the leather flattens down for a flush fit in your back pocket.

https://rivetandhide.com/gbp/brands/iron-heart.html

Pure Blue Japan 5-Pocket Pants
Sashiko & Duck Canvas

We have two fresh 5-pocket styles from Pure Blue Japan. Both in a relaxed tapered fit. First, there’s the sashiko trouser, here in double indigo and double black. These trousers use jacquard weaving techniques to emulate the “little stab” detailing of traditional sashiko embroidery.

Next is a Japanese-woven 13.5oz duck canvas. Often regarded as denim’s older brother, duck canvas is a durable fabric with a structured hand. With wear, it will develop a comfortable suppleness, picking up a time-worn patina along the way. Available in olive and double indigo.

Pure Blue Japan Yarn-Dyed Sashiko Sweatshirt
Indigo

Here, Pure Blue Japan combine deep indigo yarns with lighter blues in a custom jacquard weave. This creates a raised, knurled fabric with a one-of-a-kind texture. The indigo will fleck and fade as the sweater breaks in, revealing further depth with age.

Iron Heart Modified Type III Jackets

14oz Indigo Overdyed Black

Two Modified Type III Truckers from Iron Heart: the 14oz Indigo-Overdyed-Black and the 21oz Superblack Fade-to-Grey. The 14oz jacket begins as indigo denim before being dipped in black dye. This double-dye process creates a beautiful interplay between black and blue, building even more character as it fades over time.

New Viberg Boot Styles
The Uplands Boot & The Scout Boot

We’ve two new boots from Viberg.

The Uplands Boot is a plain-toe, three-eyelet chukka. It’s made from C.F. Stead Janus Calf Suede - a full-grain, aniline reverse leather with a fine, silky lustre. Built around the newly developed 1940 last, this boot features a round-toe silhouette with an anatomical fit, maintaining a high degree of elegance.

The all-black Scout Boot provides a rugged, versatile option for those seeking something less dressy. Featuring a Vibram ‘Moreflex’ sole, a partially structured toe, and a partial kip lining. It’s built on the E-width, round-toe 1035 last, using Waxy Commander leather also from the UK’s C.F. Stead Tannery.

UES Hunting Jacket
Olive

The UES Hunting Jacket is a modern, spring-ready take on a rugged classic. It’s a fusion of barn coat and chore coat aesthetics - lightweight, minimal, and versatile. Layerable, yet substantial enough to stand alone thanks to its sturdy 100% cotton canvas makeup. The jacket has pockets aplenty but eliminates the typical bulk of a traditional hunting jacket.

UES Selvedge Oxford Shirts
White & Light Indigo

UES’ interpretation of the Oxford Cloth Button Down is made from a substantial Japanese selvedge fabric. It’s been one-washed to impart a softer hand with a lived-in quality. Finished in true Oxford style with a single chest pocket and rear box pleat. Newly available in white and restocked in light indigo.

No.7 Yarn-Dyed T-Shirt
Indigo

These Yarn Dyed UES T-shirts are made using No. 7 yarns that have been rope-dyed in indigo - a dyeing process more commonly associated with denim. Rope-dyeing coats the yarn’s surface in deep indigo while preserving its naturally white core. Over time, the indigo outer will fade to reveal the white beneath. This beautiful ageing process is further enhanced by the full-bodied thickness of the tee’s fabric, creating an even more striking level of contrast as the years roll on.

The Real McCoy's Type B-6 Flight Jacket
Sheepskin & Horsehide

Period-accurate styling meets best-in-class craftsmanship in The Real McCoy's Type B6 Flight Jacket—a tweaked and streamlined successor to the historic B-3.

The B-6 was introduced in the early ‘40s and implemented several tweaks to the B-3 formula. Namely, the B-6 scales down the fur collar and reduces the number of leather panels. It also incorporates a bi-swing “action” back and replaces the vertical handwarmer pockets with slash variants.

The Real McCoy’s take on things upgrades the original ¼-inch hide with a superior ½-inch combination-tanned sheepskin. This lustrous leather has been custom-lacquered to achieve the look, feel, and durability of a vintage B-6, making it one of
the warmest and toughest winter jackets you could ever own.

Made start to finish by a single pair of hands at The Real McCoy’s Kobe atelier.

Buco J-24 Double Rider’s Jacket
Horsehide, Black

The J-24 is a horsehide homage to the classic 1950s Buco Double Rider.
This faithful reproduction uses vegetable-tanned and pigment-finished “tea core” horsehide. The unique tanning process used for this leather honours the slower, natural methods of the ’50s, ensuring that the jacket will age with all the beauty and nuance of a vintage motorcycle jacket. No detail is overlooked—everything from the zips to the dot buttons to the nylon quilting is made from scratch to era-accurate specifications.

10oz Loopwheeled Crewneck & Pullover Hoodie
McQueen Blue

A loopwheeled love letter to the King of Cool himself, The Real McCoy’s 10oz crewnecks and hoodies are now available in a Captain Hilts-inspired shade of blue.
These casual callbacks to The Great Escape harness the slow, gravity-fed knitting techniques of traditional loopwheel machines. The result is a jersey of impressive heft, with a texture that’s impossible to replicate using modern industrial methods.

10oz Loopwheeled Crewneck, Quarter Zip & Sweatpants
Grey

In addition to the new “McQueen Blues”, we’ve also restocked The Real McCoy’s 10oz crewnecks, quarter zips, and sweatpants in classic grey. They’re tough and textured on the outside, with a soft, insulating loopback knit on the inside—classic casual attire with an old-school sporting edge.

Blue Seal Chinos
Restocked in Navy & Beige

A dressier, hardier take on your average chino. The Real McCoy’s uses a “West Point” cloth to create a structured, slim straight trouser with a nice, mid-to-high-rise. West Point is a tough, mil-spec fabric with a sateen-like sheen. Much like a good denim, it will soften up as it breaks in, developing some beautiful character along the way. A classic style driven home by a solid fit and a quality fabric. Back in navy and beige.

A Rivet & Hide Guide to Teacore Leather
Our Latest Editorial

This month, we’ve put together a quick guide to one of our most fabled and famous premium leathers: Teacore.

Teacore leather refers to a hide that has been specially dyed with organic tannins to achieve a deep black surface with an earthy brown core. In fact, the word “teacore” is derived from the Japanese “茶芯” or “cha shin”—a direct reference to the brownish, tea-like hues that lie beneath the black.

It’s a leather used on several of our most popular jackets, from The Flat Head’s Shinki Horsehide Single and Double Riders to The Real McCoy’s period-accurate J-24 Buco.

Studio D'Artisan Type II Denim Jacket
18oz "Amami Dorozome" Selvedge Denim

Studio D’Artisan marks its 45th anniversary with a double indigo and “Dorozome”-dyed Type II. Crafted from an 18oz indigo-warp, indigo-weft selvedge denim, each jacket is then hand-overdyed on Japan’s Amami Oshima island using natural mud pigments.

The result is a rich blend of dark earthy browns atop a deep indigo base—an almost-black finish impossible to recreate with synthetic dyes. Over time, the Dorozome top coat will fade to reveal the indigo tones beneath. This is a stunning interplay of colour and craft.

SP-117 "Ai-Sa" Selvedge Denim Jeans
15oz Sakura Selvedge, Straight Fit

“Ai-Sa” or “Ai-Sakura” refers to the unique blend of natural indigo and cherry blossom dyes used to colour this 15oz denim. The weft is dyed with pigments derived from the bark of Japanese cherry blossom trees, while the warp is rope-dyed with natural indigo. The result is a striking azure-to-indigo blue jean with subtle hints of plum red on the underside. Available in a classic, mid-rise, straight-leg fit.

Ishikawa-dai Loopwheel Sweatshirt
Reverse Weave, Navy

These yarns for these heavyweight sweaters from Studio D’Artisan are produced on the historic Ishikawa spinning machine—the oldest of its kind, dating back to 1953.

At 70 over years old, the Ishikawa’s slow, clockwork-like mechanics aerate the yarn while maintaining minimal knit tension. This hands-on, time-consuming endeavour produces a luxuriously plump fabric with a hand-knit texture.

With their reverse weave, loop-wheeled construction and double-needle stitching, these sweaters are built to endure the rigours of daily wear for years to come—made to be worn into the ground.
