Tweed VS Pea (3 Days of the Condor)
People were blogging about this a while ago, but I only just got around to re-watching 3 Days of the Condor (a 1975 espionage film starring Robert Redford). Redford wears some nice clothes, and the movie is great too. I remember back when I originally saw the film, I wanted Redford’s herringbone tweed jacket. I [...]
Flathead Stadium Jacket – STJ53-BKWH – Knockout BB
Flathead made this amazing stadium jacket some time ago. I’m not actually sure when they made it, but it’s definitely sold out now. Klax-on: http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/amekajishop-klax-on/stj53-bkwh.html Black version on 2nd: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/2nd/fh-stj-53-bkxbk/ Melton wool with vegetable tanned horse leather arms. The script kind of doesn’t make sense, but it actually adds to the character of the jacket. [...]
How to Wear a Red MA-1
Buzz Ricksons have an amazing Red MA-1. http://www.buzzricksons.jp/product/us_air_force-0019.html It looks amazing, and it looks very loud. I thought it looks too loud to wear in public. Hinoya have some fit pics which didn’t change my opinion. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/br11540/ But now that I’ve seen some pictures scanned from the Beams catalog on ACL. http://www.acontinuouslean.com/2009/09/22/the-beams-autumn-winter-2009-10-mens-catalog/ These pics make the jacket [...]
Evisu Heritage Bluff Seam
The Drinkin’ and Dronin’ blog has a feature on the Evisu Deluxe Heritage line http://drinkinanddronin.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/factory-feature-for-the-evisu-heritage-collection/ These jeans have more detailing than I was aware of. I didn’t understand the “bluff pocket seam” description, but a bit more googleing got me there. http://www.fashion-incubator.com/archive/bluff_pockets/ The pocket is sewn on from the inside, as I believe you can [...]
Real McCoys SPEC-REPORT
For Real McCoys fans, the Free & Easy Nov09 Edition, SPEC-REPORT could be good.
Fugitive Denim
This books sounds interesting From Azerbaijan to New York City, a human-scale view of global trade. In the business of making and selling clothes, “Made in” labels do precious little to convey the constellation of treaties, countries, and people at work in the assembly of a simple pair of jeans. In Fugitive Denim journalist Rachel [...]

Replica Pea Coats
Buzz Ricksons pea coats are coming back in stock. http://www.buzzricksons.jp/product/us_navy-0018.html And it looks like the Real McCoys have a pea coat too. https://www.realmccoys.co.jp/catalog/products/detail.php?product_id=2357 I wonder if there is a difference in quality to justify the difference in price.
Super Dad's Style
I’ve been posting less recently because of some big events in my life. My baby daughter was born just over one week ago. She’s a lot of fun, and a lot of work. Anyway, I’ll be posting more indigofan stuff soon, and I’ll clean up the blog with the migration to the new system.
