Thread for discussing the brand “Japan Blue”

[stitchdown.shell]

I just picked up a Japan Blue sashiko coverall that I love. Such a cool fabric. I'm afraid I wont' be able to resist this IHSH380-IND workshirt. Just wating on the drop date and measurements.

@stichdown-shell oh man! I’ve had that Japan Blue Sahinko chore coat tab open on my computer for a month! Haha. Can’t get it out of my mind! Of course, can’t get this dobby out either!!

@Buckeye time will tell my friend. Time will tell

[stitchdown.shell]

@Mizmazzle Don’t mean to hijack this thread but here’s what my sashiko fabric looks like ….if it offends anyone I will remove the pic.

@Mizmazzle @stichdown-shell Moved your conversation to keep the threads more on topic.

@goosehd You should probably open a whole new topic for this, Japan Blue vs. Pure Blue Japan, https://japanblue-jeans.com/ vs. https://www.purebluejapan.jp/
The Sashiko Coverall they are referring to should be this: https://japanblue-jeans.com/jbot1304-id.html

@tody FFS, my head hurts some days…

[goosehd]

So Real Japan Blues was a part of The Flathead group that ran into financial difficulties a few years ago…and Pure Blue Japan was a different group altogether.

Is Japan blue the reincarnation of Real Japan Blues, a new entity altogether, or has been separate from the beginning.

So F’n confused and would like some help.

@Giles or anyone…Bueller, Bueller…

And then there is Blue Blue Japan as well

That comment came out of the blue!

[Giles]

Pure Blue Japan (PBJ) is a stand-alone company owned by Kenichi san. He and Haraki and good chums.

Japan Blue is not a reincarnation of Real Japan Blues (which as you say @goosehd was part of The Flathead empire). It is a relatively new brand set up in 2010 and is part of the Collect group, which also owns Momotaro......

…pro tip: Don’t be the next guy to mention Japan or Blue…my ban finger is itching and my eye's a twitching.

[goosehd]

…and @Giles thank you and Haraki for doing something as simple as Ironheart

What’s the opposite of a ‘safe word’?

Technically, I haven’t mentioned either word, but there is this link to add to the confusion…

@Nocturama ...late to the party my friend

Question for those that own the Sashiko Coverall Jacket: Does it shrink after washing in hot temperatures? A shorter sleeve length would be great post-wash.
