IHSH-293-BLK - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

Crafted from a heavy, 18oz, vintage indigo Japanese selvedge denim, the shirt has also been treated with a black sulphur overdye. The result is a hefty shirt with immediate character that will only get more pronounced as the months and years go by. As per Iron Heart’s typical affinity for meticulousness, the shirt is finished with twill-lined cuffs, collar stand, side pockets, and lightly-distressed, oversized copper snaps.

New Brand Alert: Shoes Like Pottery
Kiln-fired and made in Kurume, Shoes Like Pottery may be a new addition to the line-up here at Rivet & Hide, but the brand already enjoys a long-standing and well-earned reputation for its exceptional sneakers. The shoes’ constituent parts are hand-cut and sewn from the finest rubber and cotton canvas before being assembled (again, by hand) by a dedicated team of craftsmen. The shoes are then fired in a 120°C kiln for just over an hour (hence the name) to forge an exceptionally durable and endlessly wearable small-batch gym shoe.

Danny's episode is now live….
Danny covers topics as diverse as London fish ponds with British rock pedigree to the effects of Brexit on his business. He talks of how a chance meeting with Giles and Paula in 2011 led to the end of his long-haul career at British Airways and diverted his business plans away from Antipodean coffee culture and straight into the lap of Japanese denim.

@Giles Thank you for inviting me on to Iron Cast

Thank you for agreeing
It was an honour to be in Episode 3 and a very easy hour spent chatting away with Olly who is doing a great job as host.

**Vintage-inspired Shirting from Fleurs de Bagne
The Classic Chambray Shirt
A historically-inflected heritage wear brand with a true passion for fabric and age-old, hand-dyeing techniques, Fleurs de Bagne knows no half measures and entertains no shortcuts. Take their Classic Chambray Shirt, for instance. Cut from deadstock fabric and finished with corozo buttons from Lyon, this Chambray shirt is a classic-as-it-gets workwear staple that lets the spectacular fabric do the talking.
https://rivetandhide.com/products/fleurs-de-bagne-blue-chambray-classic-shirt.html
Vintage Flowers Hawaiian Shirt
Sunshine in a shirt, summer in fabric form, Fleurs de Bagne’s ‘Vintage Flowers’ Hawaiian Shirt is cut from an exquisitely-patterned, Japanese-woven cotton rayon for summer comfort unparalleled. The short sleeve construction and classic, 1930s-inspired silhouette add further vintage charm to this summer staple, while the single, pattern-matched chest pocket and natural coconut buttons offer a nod to Fleurs de Bagne’s unmatched eye for the smaller details.
https://rivetandhide.com/products/fleurs-de-bagne-aloha-shirt-vintage-flowers.html
The ‘Toulon’ Marinière Shirt
An ode to the old naval ports of Toulon, this Marinière shirt is cut from a 20-gauge cotton knit for a light and breezy summer top option. The rolled edges at the sleeve and collar offer up just the right amount of vintage ruggedness, while the shirt’s slim fit makes it ideal as either a standalone piece for those warmer days or a base layer for those cooler evenings. Knitted in the ateliers of Guidel, Brittany, the ‘Toulon’ makes good on Fleurs de Bagne’s penchant for hard-wearing garments informed by the rich history of French workwear.

UES Slub Yarn Selvedge Work Shirt
UES specialise in small-batch, meticulously-made goods built to last a lifetime and are long-standing lodestars of quality craft. The Slub Yarn Selvedge Work Shirts continue in that same tradition. The shirts’ uneven yarns provide a beautifully irregular, slubby texture and are cut from an ultra-soft, shuttle-loomed Zimbabwe cotton selvedge. Pair this with a tailored fit and a few finer flourishes (such as corozo nut buttons) and you have a shirt that strikes an expert balance between rugged and refined. Available in both olive and light brown options.

UES Duck Shorts - Camel
UES’ Duck Canvas Shorts boast all the hardiness of your favourite jeans in a more summer-friendly cut. This particular 100% cotton duck canvas is sulphur-dyed, making it a fine alternative to denim in terms of its ageing and fading potential. A triple stitch construction and twin back pockets (one with a button-down flap) offer further utilitarian flourishes on this workwear throwback turned summer staple.
https://rivetandhide.com/products/ues-duck-shorts-camel.html
UES Hand Knit Cap - Indigo
Made from domestically-grown, high grade, and hand-picked Japanese cotton, watch caps simply don’t come with more artisanal flair than this. The thick cotton yarn used to knit the cap is the result of a custom process that sees three separate sets of UES’ famously soft, long-staple yarns combined before being hand-dyed in indigo. This is an exemplary piece of knitwear that will only get better with age.

3sixteen Stonewashed Type III Denim Jacket
A fresh take on a firm shop favourite, 3sixteen's stonewashed Type III jacket offers a softer feel and a more broken-in look fresh off the rail. It is cut from a lightweight, proprietary, 12oz selvedge denim from the famed Kuroki Mills of Okayama. The jacket is subjected to a meticulous, multi-stage stonewash process designed to bring out the true character of the Japanese fabric. The result is a versatile jacket with a natural-looking fade and plenty of classic, americana charm. Available in indigo and black.

Viberg Hiker Boot - Birch Kudu Roughout
The Viberg Hiker is crafted from a single-piece, Visone Birch Kudu roughout leather from esteemed UK leather maestros, C.F. Stead. It is inspired by the classic Italian heritage styles of yesteryear. The gunmetal hardware and classic, D-ring lacing setup offer serious nods to the boot’s advanced outerwear credentials, as do the commando sole and Goodyear-welted construction. Built to Viberg’s 9220 last, the Hiker is a handsomely hardy boot purpose built to go the distance, rain or shine. The boots come with alternate leather laces.

Viberg Service Boot 2030 - Dublin Burned Oak
Built to the 2030 last for a sleeker, lower-profile silhouette, this iteration of Viberg’s iconic Service Boot is as elegant in its aesthetic as it is unrivalled in its construction. The vegetable-tanned, Burned Oak Dublin leather (hailing from Chicago’s famed Horween tannery) adds a touch of sophistication to an otherwise rugged boot whilst also promising plenty of patina potential. The boot stands atop a hard-wearing, UK-made, Ridgeway sole and boasts a superlative, stitchdown construction.

Heavy Duty "Tochigi" Leather Belt with garrison buckle
Constructed from a formidable, 4.2mm thick cowhide, Iron Heart’s "Tochigi" leather belt is a heavy duty, vegetable-tanned testament to everything the brand does so well. It is also the last belt you’ll ever realistically need. If you can stop at just one, that is. Available in black, tan or brown with either a solid brass or nickel-plated garrison buckle, the belts’ Brass Chicago screw construction makes customising the fit a doddle, too.

Iron Heart IHSH-292 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO - Indigo
Crafted from a formidable, 18oz, vintage selvedge denim, this western-style CPO is built to take a serious beating. Iron Heart’s typical affinity for rugged craftsmanship is present throughout, thanks to the shirt’s twill-lined cuffs, collar stand, and lined side pockets. Side seam gussets (with chain stitch run-off) and oversized copper snaps add further credence to the brand's built-like-a-tank construction credentials.
https://rivetandhide.com/products/iron-heart-ihsh-292-indigo-18oz-selvedge-denim-cpo.html
Mister Freedom Advisor Jacket - Gold Tiger Stripe Camo & LOT 674 Pants - Golden Blonde Piqué
Classically cool yet refreshingly modern, the Advisor puts a fresh spin on the classic ‘60s windbreaker. The jacket showcases a Japanese-milled, gold-tone Tiger Camo and simple, raglan-sleeve construction. The result is an understated piece of militaria with serious shore leave vibes. Internal rainbow chain stitching, clean finished seams, and a classic brass zipper all offer further examples of Mister Freedom’s eye for the finer details.
Nothing says classic ‘60s style and ease quite like the LOT 674 5-pocket jean. This winning fit combines a relaxed top block and subtle taper for a slim-but-comfortable silhouette. The 12 oz selvedge piqué fabric is as stunningly beautiful as it is summer friendly. As is to be expected from Mister Freedom, construction flourishes are uniformly excellent. Think NOS fabric pocket bags, tonal stitching, and a natural, veg-tan cowhide pocket patch to name a few. The perfect seasonal alternative to any heavy indigo denim still in rotation.
Mister Freedom Californian LOT 64 Paniolo Jeans - Hawaii Denim & Snipes Shirt - Drab Olive Cotton Poplin
Sugar Cane’s Hawaii denim is the stuff of legends for good reason. Over time, the slubby, textured fabric yields contrasting fades unlike any other denim. Mister Freedom calls on this fabled denim to make their mid-rise, straight leg, and ever-so-slightly tapered LOT 64 Paniolo Jeans.
The finished product is a true masterclass in collaborative craftsmanship. Further artisanal accents include the jean’s indigo “Paniolo” Palaka pocketing and hand-debossed, natural veg-tan cowhide pocket patch.
The Snipes shirt wears its military inspirations on its mil-spec, drab olive sleeves. Cut from a Japanese-milled, cotton poplin fabric, the Snipes boasts versatility and ruggedness in equal measure. Two chest pockets (with pen compartments), reinforced elbows, and a one-piece collar offer further stylistic call-backs to the shirt’s utilitarian origins. Designed in California. Made in Japan. Built to last a lifetime.
Mister Freedom Ranch Kerchief - Royal Blue & Turquoise
Mister Freedom’s Ranch Kerchiefs are cut from a lightweight, plain weave selvedge fabric for a soft hand feel. The water-based ink creates a rich, bleed-through effect for maximum vibrance on both sides. Americana accessorising at its absolute finest. Available in Royal Blue and Turquoise.
