Tanuki is one of those companies that there is a lot of mystery and lore around (at least in the raw denim community). Why though you may ask? Well the truth is that some people believe this is either a
1. Offshoot brand from a major denim retailer in order to grab some raw denim market for themselves
2. A bunch of raw denim companies coming together to form their own brand? Pure Blue Japan, Oni, etc.
Either way though all I can say is COOL I'M DOWN. I wish more companies made crazy cool jackets like Tanuki, I'd love that. As far as the style of this jacket it's a Type II brought into the world by Levi Strauss jeans!

I feel singled out
I was originally gonna title this video “Devins Biggest Disappointment”
A great video from my favorite formally homeless youtuber
YES THANK YOU!
I LOVE THE COBALT BLUE STITCHING.
Absolutely love the cobalt blue stitching
Great video! And I love that your working with @TheoandHarris now, raw denim/boots and watches are two of my favorite things!!! You gotta get Christian into some Raw Denim
Oh believe me Im working overtime on that!
So to answer your concern w the herringbone pockets(this is just what i remember): the reason they switched out the gingham pockets for herringbone is bc there were durability issues w the gingham.
I myself own the Tanuki EJKT3(Earth fabric, 18oz slubby, w/ a pure indigo, sulfur, and greencast indigo dyed warp, and a cheese dyed light beige weft. as a result, it’ll fade to more of a greenish turquoise color compared to typical raw denim which i quite enjoy) and i have an older version w the gingham pockets and a blue enamel coated top button.
While the pockets look amazing and feel great, the fabric is THIN AF, especially compared to the pocket fabric on my 3Sixteen Panama Cloth Type 3s(which is an absolutely insane, limited, and beautiful jacket that 3Sixteen released a long ass time ago that i can rly only summarize as the best damn indigo non-denim jacket to ever be made/the superior sashiko jacket. there’s really no way you can get your hands on one at this point cuz it’s been sold out and discontinued, and i honestly just got insanely lucky getting one cuz a lady on r/rawdenim was selling a BNWOT jacket in my size so i leaped, and so far it’s the best raw denim purchase ive ever made. will send pics and more info abt the jacket if ur interested. there are a few(?) Panama Cloth stadium jackets that 3sixteen also made which I think are POSSIBLY floating around, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen em and they might be all sold out/not in ur size anyway if i had to guess. but it could be worth checking out. anyways moving on, but just wanted to say it).
From what I remember, mainly with the jeans there was an issue w items tearing thru the pockets and forming holes. I’m pretty there was a thing where ppl couldn’t put their keys or any mildly sharp or protruding object in their jean pockets for a time cuz there was a reasonable risk and concern of it tearing a hole thru ur pocket bags, and I’m willing to assume the same deal was w the jackets at the time too. Hence forth after a certain period of time, they changed the gingham pocket bags to a much sturdier herringbone. While I don’t mind having the gingham pockets at all as I quite like it, I am careful to not out anything sharp like my keys in the handwarmer pockets. But seeing as you have the newer herringbone, you shouldn’t have that problem and are free to put whatever you wish in there with little to worry of damage(just have some common sense that’s all).
TLDR: The pockets were changed from gingham to herringbone bc the older gingham fabric had some durability issues, so it was swapped out for the more durable herringbone fabric. Hope that answers your concern!
P.S: Regarding the cobalt blue stitching, I really feel like it varies between models and fabrics on how good it looks. My Earth jacket is a Indigo x Beige fabric, and the stitching fits right in and honestly isn’t that noticeable, especially on areas where it’s more faded. Where as the darker jackets like the IDxID, or the Black fabrics, the stitching pops out a lot more against the dark background fabric, which could be a good or bad thing depending on who you are. Same thing works w the Momotaro’s pink inseam, on the lighter fabrics it’s more subdued, on darker fabrics it definitely stands out.
P.P.S: Alternatively, if you really want something different, the Tanuki Red Cast fabric rereleased a couple months ago(Type 3 jacket included), and that actually has red stitching details instead of the cobalt blue stitching details. I’m willing to assume you can maybe find one if ur lucky? Most of em are probably all sold by now, but you should be able to find a few stragglers on different sites if you look hard enough. Not a guarantee though. Tanuki Type 3s I find fit more of a true to size/slightly baggy fit compared to the Type 2s, so that’s perhaps something for you to also think about.
Oh my god this jacket is so perfect i watch it like 5 times same as that Taylor stitch leader jacket of yours. It helps it is great video too
Personally, I am in no hurry to fade any of my denim. I really, really like the raw dark blue look of new denim. Broken in, fit to body, sure. But dark and stark, that’s where it’s at for me.
I do love that too!
I like it about the info sharing cut that you mentioned about short/medium/long cotton staple.
Ty!
I was waiting for you to post!
I was waiting for you to comment!
You made this jacket look so damn cool I actually went out and picked one up for myself. I’m excited to see where the fades take me. Cheers!
Hey woah!
It’s real- and I’m not usually moved to make big purchases either, but maybe the yokai possessed me this time...
The yokai posses us all at some point in our denim journey
You are really funny dude. Hope you do more on raw denim jeans. Not a big jacket guy, but still a fun channel.
Jeans are coming!
Love your vids, sorry to hear you're going through a tough time man.
I live in Texas, so mostly warmer weather, but I love my basic bitxh denim iacket. Can you point me in the direction of a super light weight denim jacket or work shirt? I wear a flannel a lot as an over shirt/jacket, but I'd love to add a lightweight denim to the rotation
Hahaha, loved the book report, really sweet jacket! Subscribed!
Appreciate that! Glad to have you on board!!
I’m in hospital with heaps of time to waste so binging the 🐌 man
I think you are my new best friend I just can’t get a word in .
More raw denim content pretty please 🙏🏻 these vids are my fav ❤
I got the same jacket! Mine have the blue gingham lining tho. Love it!
Damnit, lucky!!
I got a jacket just like that but it won't fade one bit... I'm clueless... and disappointed too since they claim it's their fastest fading jacket... anyhow yours looks awesome!! Nice job!!
I occasionally brush mine with a Reusable Lint Brush Dog or Cat Fur Remover with Swivel Head, and doing that adds some "distressed look" highlights.
your videos are top tier mate, I would like to see you in a varsity jacket and make a video of it, good luck and keep growing in youtube my friend.
Thank you! I have that in the works!
Which schott 3sixteen? Are you referring to the more recent chromexcel or the rough out from the year previous or the heavy steerhide versions from the first or second collabs?
First collab with good art!! I know they usually collab with them but the FIRST although I may snag this years too...
I randomly came across your channel and this is exactly the type of content i want to see.
I've been searching for a type 2 with handwarmer pockets for a while now.
Do you know of any other brands that do this? I'm not a huge fan of the cobalt blue stitching either.
Hmm Pure Blue Japan, Momotaro! A bunch!
Support!
How document feel about the quality of nudie jeans jackets?
Sauce Zhan on aliexpress has some interesting raw denim jackets and jeans I got a pair of raw denim jeans and they are really good for the price. They pop up on reddit rawdenim evrery once in a while.
Do a iron heart 14 oz indigo jacket
Uh just seeing this but why am I the only one that wants to hear what the hell happened in Hoboken!?!
Hey I just found the channel and I like it since I just bought a levi's jacket at Macy's. I have a question for you. Would you buy a white Levi's jacket and then have it dyed in indigo?
Hey! Funny you should ask, I was actually planning to do that in a video!
@@TheIronSnail cool. Will you send it to Japan and have it done by the old master dyers or is that too extreme? East meets West?
Not a bad idea at all! Honestly was thinking of even trying it myself
@@TheIronSnail that would be AWESOME.
Then I’ll do it!
Is that a Taylor Stitch heavy bag tee you’ve got on in the beginning? How do you like those? A little obsessed with TS but they seem to be priced high. Worth it?
Very worth it! They are literally one step down from a sweatshirt? Super super heavy and really nice looking
Are the shirts soft and true to size
Yes!! Little rougher than your typical shirt but nothing crazy
@@TheIronSnail thanks. from a 50+ old viewer who digs your channel. Lol. Keep it up
Hey you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Try out the taylor stitch jackets!!
Oh i certainly will!
I have the same jacket and would like to know how you washed yours
Washed it on hot! If i could do it again I’d cold wash
I stopped washing my underwear so that I get get that natural patina going.
I'm with you on the cobalt blue, but the jacket looks great.
Kidding on the undies.
“Oh yeah the crust is developing real well here!”
Also i know! Why collar!
I mean cobalt!
@@TheIronSnail right? It's definetly screaming bright blue.
Hollering!
Fun fact..super mario has a variant called racoon mario but he's actually a tanuki.
The more ya kno..
Nice jacket, there is only one thing i don't like about it: the stitching, for me jeans and denim jackets should have the traditional yellow or gold stitching !!!
That would actually look pretty sweet!
Really unfortunate that you had to escape a really bad situation, loosing property is always bad, but its never worth your life, hope everything improves!
It’s better and better everyday!
The teal is a no, but we love a chipped button
WELL LOOK WHO IT IS
Tanuki are known for having huge sacks too
What's up with the Scania t-shirt? Aren't you based in the US.
Helping comment
WE LOve the HELP
This guy needs an RV....As he moves around more then me... Why I bought an RV.......
And the Tanuki has nothing on the Honey Badger...
I will buy the shit out of your over symbolized brand.
This is what i like to here!!!
Jesus this man is difficult to listen to. Do young people really have such scattered thoughts that edits like this make them feel good? hAHA.
