            @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

                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…

                    That comment came out of the blue! 😂

                      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......

                                  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…

                                        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.

                                            @cityofdelusion really can't say. Only recently started to wear it again after years of neglect 🙂 and don't even recall if I washed it ever. Also: I have the opposite problem (borderline too short), so no washing planned or necessary.
