What is Sanforization?
Have you ever had a pair of jeans that have shrunk a considerable amount after the first few washes? The process of sanforization reduces the amount your denim will stretch from an estimated 10% to about 1%. All of our fabric goes through a sanforization process where the cotton is dampened and is placed in a machine that stretches the fabric through rubber belts and cylinders. This ensures us with a pair of jeans that keeps its size through production and our first washes. This process that takes place at our Kuroki mill gives you chance to personalize a pair of jeans that is Fit to Live for many years.

Visiting Ken Diamond
This past November I headed out to Vancouver to check out what the city has to offer these days. When we were out there we had the opportunity to catch up with our leather maker Ken Diamond. Ken has been doing his craft since 2002 and does one hell of a job with his hands. He recently gained traction worldwide with a two part article on Hypebeast but we have been fans of his work over the last few years owning his products and collaborating on previous projects. Back in 2013 we reached out to him and were able to collaborate with him to make our leather patches, so when we were out in BC we had to visit the new workshop and meet in person for the first time.
We went out to his place in Gastown and shopped his new line as well as talked about the new projects that they had in the works. Ken and his wife Marla spoke to us about how their Hypebeast feature came to life, their popular pieces and Ken’s long beard. If you haven’t seen any of his work, visit the website for his full line. We are excited for you guys to check out the final leather patches in two different colours.
