I just havent seen much about themThe first 2 photos were taken today. They have about 4 months wear.
The fit pics are from a couple of months ago. The last (blurred) fit pic in the R.J.B Hound's tooth shirt was taken about a month after wearing them
They are Hiut Slim selvedge size 31. The regular's have similar top block but straighter leg.

Thnx for the pics, fit seems pretty good.No probs. The cut in Hiut jeans is great and the lined waist band and soft handle on the Kuroki selvedge make them one of the most comfortable jeans i have ever worn.

We will soon add the Railcar X009 jean to our range. This is a 16 oz. Japanese selvedge denim in their popular Spikes fit.
Steven sent me an image of Ruben cutting the olive green front pocket bags for the final pairs of the order.

Today we launch a new label at Rivet & Hide. Dawson Denim. This is a very British and unique brand specializing in denim and workwear.
Like us they only launched last year. Kelly Dawson has worked for 15 years in the denim industry on the design side.They start the brand with a range of aprons made of 13 oz Japanese red line selvedge denim and there are plans to develop other garments.
Their workshop is in Brighton. This small city on the south coast of England has a subculture that strives for detail in heritage lifestyle that is fairly unique to this degree in such a small British city. Kelly and her partner Scott love vintage motoring and ride a 1950's Lambretta and Vespa.
Their first love is denim, their second is vintage motoring so all their branding links back to this. Their logo is a magneto lever or cheese head screw found in all pre – 1960’s motorcycles. The colours used are influenced by the BSA bantam D1. The logo book inspired by Scott’s Granddad’s 1930 driving license and a registration manual for a motorbike of the same period.
They use a Union Special and single stitch Juki in order to keep the manufacturing processes original. Each apron is based on historical garments. The Pinny is inspired by aprons worn in lumbar yards across the USA until the 1940s, The Mercantile was worn by grocery and dry goods stores up until the 1950s to protect clothing. The Mechanic is based on WW2 issue aprons for mechanics. The Carpenter is worn by men and women of that trade today.

Congrats on picking these guys up, Danny - just the kind of indie story we all like to hear about and support. Pretty tempted by 'The Mechanic', for when I'm servicing/fiddling with my bikes (of the pedal/roadie variety, rather than motor ;))
Does the brand have any connection to Fallow (http://www.fallowdenim.com/blog/)? I'm pretty sure I've read that they're Brighton-based too…

Thanks, GM. No connection to Fallow denim. Wholly unique in many ways.
Sounds like a great use of the Mechanic. I know a couple of people who want the Mercantile for barbecues and a barista I know well wants the Carpenter for work.It's great to be involved with some brands at such an embryonic stage as well as representing some more established players. That was always my intention. Dawson Denim will fit very well into this mix.

Today we launch our own range with a 1. 5" wide belt made from high quality bridle leather sourced from a tannery here in the UK. The site in Devon at Hamlyns, Coylton, has been a tannery since Roman times. Heritage leather does not come better than this.
The tannery is Britain’s last remaining oak bark tannery. The slow method of tanning has changed little since Roman times. The hides still raw are soaked in lime where their pores open and the hairs loosen. Over a period of three months the hides are moved by hand into progressively stronger tanning liquors. The liquors come from soaking oak bark in Devon water to extract the tannins.
The butt is the thickest part of the skin with the tightest fibres. Bridle butt leather refers to the way the leather is finished at the tannery. Both the flesh and grain side are wax finished. This takes time and is labour intensive and only the best leather gets this treatment due to the costs involved. The flesh side is waxed as it sits on the horse's skin. The leather is strong and extremely durable.
The belts come in Australian nut tan. The beauty of this tan is that it has various notes and tones from a rich burgundy to an almost deep purplish brown patina. . It looks beautiful and will just get better and better with age.
There is a choice of brass and nickel plated full buckles.
The belts are made by Crispin Bending in London. I asked him to brand the logo near the buckle. It cannot be seen when worn.
It will fit anyone who wears most jeans sizes 32-37. We can punch an extra hole towards the buckle end for anyone slightly slimmer.

What better way to start our magazine category than with the denim and workwear Men's File special.
This bi-annual publication from the UK is devoted to tracing the origins of style embracing clothes, motorcycles, architecture and beyond.
Style with an enduring and timeless quality. Objects built to last. Rich patinas. Compelling characters from the left field. All rendered with some pretty cool photography from Nick Clements himself.

When I started wearing my Hiut Slim selvedge jeans late summer we hemmed them on our Union Special 43200g.
The roping effect is getting even more pronounced with wear.
