We shot some photos of the PBJ X011 we have on display at the store. They belonged to Neil, a good friend of Junior. He had never worn raw denim but when our first PBJ delivery arrived during our pop up store at Apartment 58 in April 2013 he bought a pair to support our fledgling venture at the time. They now sit in our denim archive cabinet at the London store along with pairs from The Flat Head, Steel Feather, Iron Heart and other brands.
Our forthcoming collaboration with Pure Blue Japan will be a 24 oz. version of the same denim. We can only imagine at this stage how this new and exclusive fabric will age over time.
The RHxPBJx011-24oz jeans are available by pre-order http://rivetandhide.com/brands/pure-blue-japan/pure-blue-japan-rhxpbjx011-24oz-jean-pre-order.html

These (displayed hard used jeans) are just really hot!

The Flat Head 1002 jean is the slim tapered version of the 1001 in 16 oz. selvedge denim.
For those of you familiar with the 3xxx denim this is similar to the 3002 in fit.
The main difference between the 14.oz Pioneer (3xxx) denim is in the feel: the 16 oz. feels a bit rougher and the whiskers and honeycombs become really defined after just one day of wear. The intense indigo fades to powdery blue over time.

The first winter flannels for 2015 arrived today. UES custom weave their own flannel fabrics on shuttle looms in Okayama, Japan.
They are distinguished by the acorn pocket design and ivory palm nut buttons grown on equatorial trees.The flannels are 100% cotton, with a brushed lining and rinsed once so won't shrink. The main body seams are chain stitched.
This year they appear in two colourways: Wine and Brown.

@Danny RnH I'm curious as to whether those fit pics of THF 1002s are how they should fit before or after soaking? Thx
-
@twism_23 this 16 Oz denim does not shrink as much as the 3xxx denim. The waist stretches back out to the raw measurements. James is normally a 33w and here he wears a size 34w. They were a relaxed fit on his waist in that size.

Thanks so much for your response. @Danny RnH
-
Those flannels are NICE!
-
Yeah, fantastic colour combinations on the flannels.

The much anticipated re-run of the Pure Blue Japan x013 jean is complete. Our restock will arrive at the end of next week.
The x013 is the slim tapered jean in PBJ's signature 14 oz denim. -
Tomorrow and Friday the store in London will be open until 9 pm on both evenings.
We have the Windmill Street party on Thursday and the following evening the Iron Heart x Yamaha Bike event with Haraki and the IH crew from Japan here.Come and join us on these late summer evenings and have a cool beer or two with us. We'd love to see you.
-
I'll be popping in to say hello on Friday. @Danny RnH
-
@spitfiredealer Looking forward to catching up with you
-
Anyone coming to the iron Heart x Yamaha bike party on Friday will get a chance to see samples of the IH winter collection. We have ordered almost all of the flannels in the western variation and the superb N1 jackets in khaki and navy. Due October and early November. Here is a teaser.

I shall be trying them on if they are XL's.

The Pure Blue Japan x013 has been restocked. This slim tapered fit uses the signature 14 oz. denim famed for its slubby character. We have a sample of this denim worn for 2 years framed and hanging in the store. It shows just how much the slubby nature of this denim develops with wear. We carry all sizes 27-38.
The deep indigo shirt fabric is so rich that we did not hesitate to compliment the western style with the new work shirt version. The 8 oz. fabric has both warp and weft yarns rope-dyed. The shirt features one riveted chest pocket and doughnut iron buttons which are then replaced by hidden snap buttons on the lower placket. You can already see the impression these buttons make on the fabric designed to fade with wear. Rinsed once the shirt will not shrink.
The 3 Gauge indigo knit cap is a simple piece but a great example of PBJ's prowess when it comes to dyeing fabrics with indigo. The knitted cotton will stretch and not shrink so the cap is intended to be a snug fit at first.

Thanks to everyone who came to our party last night co-hosted with Haraki and the IH crew from Japan and Gosport to celebrate the Yard build bike collaboration with Yamaha. The said bike is turning plenty of heads in Windmill Street as it sits majestically in our store front window. I'm glad we were also able to preview the IH winter collection last night.
The bike really should have stolen the show but was outdone by the surprise guest appearance of Paula's mother. She really was the star of the show.
