Hi allllllllll! For the last three and a half years we've been questing to offer you fine folks some of our favourite, most quality driven brands made in Canada & the USA and it’s been a great ride. As our search for the best workwear and men's essentials continued, we realized we wanted to expand our parameters and offer a wider variety of the brands we have grown to love other the years. As such, we decided to open our borders and offer brands from around the world, while still maintaining our belief of quality, ethical clothing, made in first world conditions and designed with longevity, aging and timelessness in mind. And of course our first choice was to go across the Pacific for some incredible denim goods made in Japan! , along with the hand distressed denim western shirt and read about and peer at em a lil bit below! Our first international offering is the inimitable Pure Blue Japan ! If you haven't heard of PBJ or checked out any of their gear before you are in for a treat. Designer Ken-ichi Iwaya has been making denim goods in Japan since 1997, often with all natural indigo plant (indigofera) based dyeing processes and whose leaf makes up their logo & adorns each of their garments! The wide array of textures, colours and weights PBJ produces, offer a beautiful view into just how versatile indigo and denim truly can be. We have a fair deal of their goods coming in this season, but our first three offerings are real standouts. Check out the hand-dyed jeans and jacket along with the hand distressedand read about and peer at em a lil bit below!

Kyle & Bob-NAQP The 6oz Hand-distressed denim shirt already has a beautiful, natural looking patina, but still has years of wear in them to gain even more to truly make it your own. Lightweight, soft and comfortable, this beauty boasts western shoulder yokes, belnap beige mother of pearl snap buttons and what I'm calling a batman styled three point western yoke. Beautiful shirts, hope you dig em!Then we get into what PBJ is truly known for- Natural, plant dyed indigo goods. Both the AI13-TSM slim taper jeans and the Type II denim jacket use hand dyed indigo thread for the warp (outside) of the denim. Harvested in the Tokushima prefecture, this indigo is protected as a national treasure under Japanese law, with only a handful of skilled women and me certified to work with it. The hand dyeing process is slow and labour intensive, with each fibre of cotton yarn being repeatedly (upwards of 20 times per) dipped into the vats of indigo. The result is a fabric deeply penetrated with indigo, allowing for slow release fades and incredible depth of colour. These are some serious denim pieces for the aficionados and patina lovers amongst you. Check these quick IG videos showcasing the hand dyeing and weaving of the yarns!This is just the first offering and the first bit of news we have coming your way, but peruse them online or if you can, swing through the shop and take in the majesty of these indigo hues.HolllllaaaaaKyle & Bob-NAQP We want to make sure we aren't bugging you with emails you might no longer want to receive, so if you'd rather keep in touch with us via one of our social media outlets, or just excommunicate us altogether- which we sincerely hope is not the case, but fully understand :)- please click HERE , or the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of this email.
