Natural indigo dyed denim alert! Iron Heart’s 633 straight tapered fit in natural indigo-dyed denim is here.…

…This denim is an Iron Heart developed 17oz selvedge denim made of 100% organic cotton which has been dyed using natural indigo. The natural indigo gives these a unique shade which can only be achieved by rope dying the warp yarns in a natural indigo bath. The process of natural indigo dying is costly and takes more time than synthetic indigo dying, that coupled with the fact that these are made of a medium staple organic cotton makes these a great buy for the price. Get em now at all stores.

New Type II jackets from Boncoura are here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A reinterpretation of the iconic 1950s type II American…

…denim jacket by Boncoura. On vintage type II jackets, underarm gussets were typically found only on larger sizes. Inspired by this historical detail, Boncoura has incorporated it into all sizes of this jacket. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The fabric is made from Boncoura’s proprietary “Ikemen” denim, the same as used in the 66 and XX jean models. The underside of the pocket flaps are lined with their original chambray fabric, allowing for a beautifully aged patina over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All components, including Boncoura’s original hardware, have been carefully crafted to ensure long-lasting wear. Like the denim itself, these metal parts will develop a unique patina with use. Stitching is done with cotton thread, following traditional construction methods. The thread thickness varies from gauge 8 to 30, drawing inspiration from period-authentic stitch-work. A super high attention to detail from Boncoura here on these jackets, along with everything else they make.

Boncoura’s 15oz black denim Painter Pants have landed at all stores. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A true icon of American workwear,…

…painter’s pants have been reimagined through Boncoura’s lens. Originally designed for painters, carpenters, and craftsmen, these pants were built for practicality and durability. While staying true to their workwear heritage, Boncoura has refined the silhouette and materials with a contemporary approach. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The fabric is woven using Boncoura’s original cotton denim, meticulously developed from the selection of raw cotton, fiber blend, and spinning techniques. Woven on BONCOURA’s special-spec vintage shuttle looms, it boasts a 15oz weight, giving it a rugged texture that contrasts with the lighter ounce vintage painter pants. This robust construction ensures a unique patina and character that will develop beautifully over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For this black denim Boncoura has applied a rope-dyeing technique, setting it apart from conventional vintage black denim, which is typically dyed to the core. With traditional “piece-dyed” black denim, fading is minimal, but BONCOURA’s approach maintains a white core, allowing for a fading process similar to classic indigo denim. Over time, the fabric reveals a striking contrast, creating a distinct aged effect. Additionally, Boncoura’s exclusive dye formulation gives the fabric a rich, deep black with a nuanced depth that evolves beautifully with wear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Deep hand pockets, a slightly shallower coin pocket, and asymmetrical side pockets are carefully designed for both functionality and style. The front features Boncoura’s original snap button and zipper, while the right-side back pocket is finished with the Boncoura name tag.

Here’s David from SESF in Boncoura’s 66 jean model which we just received a restock of at all…

…stores. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is a lot we can say about the jeans from this line we’ve just started carrying. From the unique heft and indigo shade of their denim, to the way the sewing is so precise, to the original yarns and hardware produced for every pair, these are truly some of the best jeans we’ve ever carried. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IN THE (translated) WORDS OF HISASHI MORISHIMA, FOUNDER AND DESIGNER OF BONCOURA: “When talking about denim, it’s impossible to ignore the iconic 501XX. The 501XX was produced for a long time and boasts a wide range of variations in details and shapes across different eras. I’ve personally worn XX denim models from various periods, experiencing the stitching, silhouette, and details. BONCOURA aspires to craft the king of denim, the ideal XX, and that’s how the BONCOURA XX was born.” Continued below…
