      @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…

                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.

                                        @Tobi Ah, thank you. Hope you can get some wear out of it or find it in a more fitting size if you decide to purchase it again! 🙂

                                          @cityofdelusion sorry for missing your question. I have not noticed shrinkage after washing it on 40 degrees and drip drying. But I remember stretching it right after the wash, just to have it without wrinkles, but that might also restored it to the pre-wash dimensions.
