There needed to be a place for Denimheads. Thank you for providing this. I think my love for Japanese denim the last 10 years is what ultimately led me to Grand Seiko. If you havent gone to Japan to buy jeans, you need to!
Love your videos! Would be super into you reviewing a traditional French chore jacket, like from Le Mont St. Michel, Vetra or Le Laboureur. I know it's not raw denim, but it fits into the classic, workwear style jackets you cover
@@TheIronSnail Oh awesome! These companies work more with moleskin cotton and twill, which apparently are the traditional fabrics for french workwear. Anyways, looking forward to more of your videos
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!?
I was so worried about skein. Thank goodness for the power of editing. I like how the jacket fits you. You can def stretch it to make it more comfortable
I bought the relaxed taper jeans and am going to take there plunge and get the type 2 jacket. This denim, I'm a beginner, just looks incredible. its like a Rothko, or even a Klein. Just really beautiful.
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
Mr. Snail: Are you still wearing your Schott Perfecto? I bought an Aero D-Pocket from Thurston Bros recently and love it. I wear it all the time. Even indoors. Haha. Just curious, Michael
Mr Michael! I am! Although it’s a bit cold right now so I’m wearing my newest purchase a lot more (a vintage wool pile lined LL Bean flying tiger) Highly HIGHLY recommend you see if there is one in your size on eBay as they are incredible
Would something like this bleed color onto your clothes? In the rogue territory sashiko jacket video, you mentioned your arms turned blue from it. Does it have to do with the type of dying?
@@TheIronSnail hey man, I need your help, my dad recently gave me his old blanket lined denim jacket from the 80s. Buts just super dirty and smells like my grandparents house. Do you know if it would be safe to wash it in the washing machine or something?
Another great production! Purple faced jackets - reminds me of the Studio D'Artisan Hinode jacket. Have you seen it? I bought the Hinode jeans and the red was unreal. Unfortunately, they were too short for me, but the fabric was unlike anything I've seen. All the best.
Yes!! That denim is INCREDIBLE i was going to buy a jacket but figured it was too similar in silhouette to my sugar cane type ii so i passed but regret it!
Just bought cargo pants for $400 used and they were too small, had to buy a used pair 2 sizes up and sell the old ones (ended up selling it for much less). Wallet hurt on that transaction
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?
$825 for a jean jacket, I could get at least 4 Nudie jean jacket from $160-$200. Or I could find me a nice leather jacket. I'm not gonna lie that jacket still looks good the quality is top notch.
Thank you. Would also be even more helpful if you were wearing your stuff more during your reviews. Fit is key, but sometimes it seems like we just get a quick glance.
@@TheIronSnail yep! When i visited japan maybe 9 years ago, visvim wasn’t easy to get in the USA, so was very expensive in USA. I thought a 200$ 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.

Nothing really wrong with it it’s just pretty light weight
After watching your video I'm more curious about why you decided to buy it in the first place! Fit is not that good on you. Looks weird on the upper hips. Amazing jacket in any case.
@@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.
H&M does the very same thing but as a swedish process!...only that is made in china, with young, young but experts individuals on a boat, for a very tiny fraction of that cost...and way faster, can you imagine?... and for the same jacket! So i guess those slow japanese veterans should retire and clear the way for the next more efficient multi cultural generation right?
I absolutely love your style of storytelling

Congratulations on picking up an Grand seiko ! Wear it in great health!
By far the most entertaining reviewer I’ve come across on raw denim/ men’s clothes. Keep up the good work bro!
Hey thank you!
This makes me feel so much better about the £60 shirt I bought that's a little too small...
See my mission is complete
Love it mate. HAND POCKETS!!! my only gripe of my Sashiko type II from them is no damn hand pockets! Great content. Subd
Thanks!! Love your content too!
Just found your channel. Think I’ve gone through your whole library now. Great video man.
Hey thanks! Great to hear
Love your videos! Would be super into you reviewing a traditional French chore jacket, like from Le Mont St. Michel, Vetra or Le Laboureur. I know it's not raw denim, but it fits into the classic, workwear style jackets you cover

Where would we be without the power of editing
I absolutely love the 'snub' on a pair of jeans I own, but didn't know the word to describe it. Thank you kindly.
Of course! Its “slub” btw!
@@TheIronSnail ah gotcha!
Of course!!
I can't believe it's been over a year since I started watching your videos. Good content
thank you!

4 would be too big
If definitely fits you as best it can

Leaving it on your white bed sheets, pretty bold.
I’ve always been daring
I want this jacket

did you manage to sell it ?

Yeah it’s wild!!! It’s top notch 100% though truly

excellent!

Visvim: most expensive jacket? Hold my Peerless shirt…
I feel like the folks at Visvim just smash the keyboard when they are thinking of a price

I mean, there are more expensive Japanese denim jackets, Tom Ford's jackets are made with Japanese denim
Japanese denim but made in the US!
What do you think of the raw denim jacket made by Asket?
Pretty sweet jacket! Reminds me a bit of the Cruiser from RGT
@@TheIronSnail do you think the price is right for what youre getting?
Fantastic 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Say "wispy woven woad weft" three times fast
I wouldn’t dare!
2:00 way to long, a denim jacket has to be boxy and cropped
I don’t mind the length as much as the shoulders and back!
@@TheIronSnail pumping iron is the key ;-)
Thank you for censoring preacher hands. I'm sure the video would have been demonetized if you didn't!
Without a doubt!!

Jackets need pockets,
Outside pockets inside pockets etc.
not the most expensive
The human species is doomed 😂
