The Pure Blue Japan x Okayama Denim jacket collaboration is INCREDIBLE but...I'm selling it. Why you ask? Why I tell.
Clothes in thumbnail:
Pure Blue Japan x Okayama Denim Hank Dyed raw denim jacket
A.P.C Petite light wash selvedge denim jeans
Reebok Vintage Club C 85 shoes
Levi 501 black jeans (buy here: fave.co/3DFMF9A)
J. Crew garment dyed crew neck (I don't recommend this unless it's on a great sale)
Rug - Ikea
So I love raw denim jackets of all types and sizes. Well specifically one size...my size. While I love the Macy's $75 Levi Type III jacket I sometimes like to go absolutely bananas and go the complete other end of the spectrum. A hand dyed, raw, selvedge, slubby monster.

Hell yeah, Shakespearian insults! I'm always telling the new jacks that I'm going to cut them nave to chops! I feel you on the jacket. I'm currently trying to unload my $300 iron heart denim jacket that doesn't fit me quite right, too dense to layer under, too thick to wear in the summer heat, and that I have to run for cover the second it looks like it might rain lest it be ruined! If I had YOUR jacket, it would never leave my closet knowing how much work went into it. I'd feel ashamed to drip chili sauce on it or stuff Dunkin' receipts into the pockets. I'd probably frame it or something!?

@brianagee2790 3 жыл бұрын

lol. I was trying to click the floating bulletpoints in your video. Thought it was a link. I’m only 3 minutes through your video yet but wanted to real quick comment how much it made me laugh to see your video pop up in my … youtube feed?? Had been looking into some of these PBJ jackets myself and even ended up buying a type II of this beautiful indigo/kakishibu denim. The boxy sillhouette of these type 2s are not familiar to me so its going to just be a fun surprise for me. Never in a million years thought I was going to buy a jacket that doesn’t pockets located accross the chest, as weird as that sounds. Saw images of this type 3 indigo/ink jacket on R&H and was really intrigued… probably I’ll get a good sense of it from you… thanks for making this video. Anyway. Ended up getting that FCL jacket, I’d mentioned a while back, and it had not fit me right so had to send back. The fitting is really strange for some body types with some of the Japanese brand clothing out there. So, I still haven’t resumed past 3 minutes of your video but my guess is that your issue and reason for selling is because of fit. Body length too long and arms too short, perhaps?

4 would be too big If definitely fits you as best it can If you put the jacket on and take a 60 second Luke warm shower in the jacket then move around in it buttoned up for 10-20 mins then hang it up for a few hours then repeat the movement again 10-20 then let it dry out over night . It will then be ready to begin breathing

@chrisp5526 3 жыл бұрын

@@TheIronSnail yep! When i visited japan maybe 9 years ago, visvim wasn’t easy to get in the USA, so was very expensive in USA. I thought a 200$ jean was expensive at that time, but bought it as a souvenir in their Hiroshima shop. I didn’t even know about that brand; I jut wanted a Japanese made clothes; got a jacket/buttoned t-shirt, and one jean. I just happened to walk into an extremely unassuming shop. Didn’t look fancy. Nothing special about the shop. Just two people working there, with expensive clothes displayed. They barely spoke English. Now their jeans are ridiculously expensive! The price keeps going up! And people are obviously buying them! And when I bought my jeans, they weren’t displaying any advertisement on any clothes. Now they turned from street wear to ‘look how much I paid, look at my brand’, street wear.

@@TheIronSnail I own the Type II Double Natural Indigo of this jacket (the one that has the yarns dyed 20 times minimum) and it fits me quite good. I gave it an initial wash and it shrank a bit and became less "crunchy" or stiff. That helped towards the fitting. It is still a bit stiff but will soften over use. The fabric and color hue is still unlike any other raw denim garment I have. Very impressive. Also, I don't know if Type III like the one you got fit a bit different, but for me that I have broad shoulders Type II hits the mark. Anyways, entertaining video.
