Fullcount 1101 Hally’s special order

This denim is a 66 model that was specially ordered by a store called Harry’s in Fukuoka, Japan, when Zimbabwean cotton fabric was still only used in XX models. In the 90’s, Japanese reproduction denim did not use the same fabric for slim and tapered models as it does now, because XX = flagship, and even if I wanted slim, the fabric was different. I wanted to try the new Zimbabwe cotton that had just come out, but all I already had were the XX models. When I was wondering what denim to wear next, I came across this denim […]

Natural Indigo BLUE BLUE /Hollywood Ranch Market

These are natural indigo denim from BLUE BLUE , one of the brands of Seirin Corporation. When I bought this denim in 1995, Seirin Kouji was a company that dominated the American casual industry at that time, including Hollywood Ranch Market, OKURA, and High Standard. Although the boom has now subsided, the company has a brand with a strong following. These jeans were my next choice after Levi’s when the Japanese reproduction boom was starting to take off. I was still in my second year of high school at the time. I was a cynical person and was fascinated by […]

Orslow painter pants, faded

I have the impression that orslow is not well-liked by hard-core denim fans, but personally, I think that Orslow is the best when it comes to a modern vintage look. The silhouette is beautiful and there is not much earthiness to the work feel. It has an atmosphere from the rigid, and is probably one of the few brands where you can enjoy color fading and changes over time. Overview Purchased: July 2012 Price: 17,500 yen I think it is the same fabric as the current model, but the size seems to be slightly larger at that time. The price […]
