IJIN PIPED SELVEDGE


A return to the classics does not mean making replicas....

Progress is paramount.Denim is eternal & respecting the past is essential.
But creativity within the realms of tradition is a difficult balance...
Like a snail on a razor blade....
Or an Ijin Piped Selvedge Leg....

IJIN REMAKE HOBO BAG : THE ''PENDLETON''


Traditionally speaking a Hobo bag is favoured more by women than men... so Phil Ijin thought he should re-address this prejudice with his original interpretation, including a real Hobo aesthetic : Woodman Checks
The result : The Remake Ijin Hobo Bag ( for men )
Easilly slung over the shoulder , stealthily concealable under a your waxed jacket & made in no other than an original Pendleton mills woollen checked shirt ( worn out of course ) with the entry through the original button down collar
And all fully french seamed , sewn by none other than the seamster himself, recycled & re-made to order.
Moral of Creativity : ''Waste makes woeful want''.
*Confirmed collaboration of Ijin for Pendleton Mills pending...

THE IJIN DETAIL: BLUE BARTACKS


Phil Ijin likes to get things straight & narrow on the Ijin selvedges.The profile is as important as the front or back & to check this out, lets examine the precision sewing ...
Not only that, but the Pale Blue bartacks that identify the 12.5 ounce slow loomed denim choice....

LET IT RAIN...


Ready as ever with new blue ideas, Phil Ijin presents the Ijin Rain Kape this winter as part of the new waterproofed ''Nouveau Outdoors'' line of Ijin Indigo Impermeables....

IJIN SEASONED SELVEDGE : CUSTOMISED




Real indigo selvedge really is this blue.... But not at first.
Seasoning your stiff Blue-Blacks takes time,insistence & above all patience to obtain these unmistakably natural whiskers.
And sometimes the ''wear-outs'' , well , wear out in that meantime...
So what better remedy for crotch consumption than a Phil Ijin Custom Crotch patch : individually handstitched with a carpet needle & with the ''aka mimi '' carefully lined up with the inseam , this adds a new dimension to the prestige of the red line garment aswell as an extra personalisation , to be shown at the wearers discretion...
