Hello everyone, I am originally from Bulgaria, escaped the Communist regime back in the mid 80s lived in Hungary for 7-8 months until figure it out how to get in Austria, lived few years in Austria with few weeks been there in refugee camp as well until get my emigrant papers and apply in US embassy, got green card and in 89 late October arrived in Columbus OH. Got married in 97 and moved to L.A. Sunny California.
I collect ancient coin, vintage colognes and some watches. And I guess lately I got into this crazy and very addictive blue think.............................................
How I got here, well I am wearing mostly jeans since the 70s when as a kid got my first jean "Super Rifle" made in Italy back then as a Communist country it was very hard to get any kind of jeans in Bulgaria, it was only on the black market but you need to have connections to get to the black market.
So I always have few Levis, Lee, diesel, buffalo etc.......First time heard about Japanese denim last year as trying to buy another Levis when googled I found out about 150 years Levis anniversary made in japan so I got me Jacket and Jean made by Nigo and Levis and the rest is history.
I am now obsessed with this Japanese electric blue, I have seen when browsing a lot the name Denim Head. Am I becoming one myself now?
my favorites are:
Samurai - 6 jeans and 3 shirts
Iron Heart - 5 jeans, 4 denim shirts 3 UH flannels and 1 jacket
Naked and Famous - 12 jeans
Momotaro - 8 jeans, 6 shirts and 1 jacket
studio d'artisan - 5 jeans and 8 UH flannel, Denim and sashiko shirts
Oni - 8 jeans and 1 overall jacket
Sugar cane - 6 jeans
Stevenson Overall - 4 jeans and 1 jacket
Big John - 2 jeans and 1 jacket
PBJ - 2 jeans and 1 jaket
What are your favorites from the Japanese brands, but not from the popular ones is there any hidden gems from less popular brands that you can recommend?
here is some of what I have at the moment:
