Good job Mr Brown...

The IJIN BICYCLE

Phil Ijin uses the only eco-way to get to the studio of a morning : The Ijin Vintage Bicycle

A rare Thai import ''poorman's'' Raleigh , made in Iron with imperial nut & bolt spiralling & monster shock absorbers to ride out the cobbles on out of stock 27 inch wheels .

A Beaut.

IJIN GIRLS LEGS

They are not a common sight - Ijin Girls Legs - but when you see the fit , even in a non stretch Jap milled denim , you know you have met your maker.....

IJIN RED LINE COIN POCKET

Nicely ''seasoned'' Rare-run Selvedge Ijin item with a rotated selvedge coin pocket shows exactly what real Copper wash & burr rivets look like with age....

Solid & not coated.

IJIN : BLOG POST

Its always nice to be appreciated in different languages....

Here is an Italian Indigo Fan... themaninsideofme

IJIN : DENIM DIRECTORY

Just in case you didnt know enough about Phil Ijin & his independent denim research label , please read through the new on-line denim directory ,here called Jeanculture.

IJIN INDIGO STEALTH

Excellence should always be understated: An example of which is shown here : The Ijin Indigo Bartack.

Stitched in real indigo thread it is almost invisible to the untrained eye....

And the Diamond-head sewn rivets are actually stronger than traditional solid Copper nails.....

Functional stealth : Standard

IJIN RIVET POLICY

Phil Ijin uses 3 different rivet types on specialised items like the Selwyn Six in Marine selvedge ( woven by Phil Ijin himself)
This is the rivet used on the signature Sixth pocket - the overlaid heart back pocket.

Not only rope stitched in contrast, it purveys its very own sunken-cap, copper rivet that wont scratch the furniture or your leather car seats.
Genial & Genuine...

IJIN SELVEDGE IN ACTION

To the untrained eye, the new Ijin 5020 is , perhaps, just another selvedge jean...
But look closer to see how & why Phil Ijin earned his indigo stripes amongst the denim hierarchy....
Indigo as Artform.

As rare as hens teeth.......

IJIN TUXEDO LEG : INSIDES OUT

Phil Ijin exceeds in the excellence of sewing selvedge with the Tuxedo Leg & a fully exposed Kurabo red selvedge one & a half inch busted seam, uninterrupted down the full length of the leg.
All contesters please step up.....
