The Clothing.
Garbstore acts as a kind of time traveller for modern Garments, unlimited by style or genre. Vintage pieces are collected, restored and expanded upon using original fabrics that have been re-made to fit the purpose. Original Trimmings and good old style Talon and Scovill Zippers are used in favour of mass production options. We aim to create familiar Garments that have a foot in the past yet look to the future, with a few doffs of the hat on the way.
We re-imagine garments making them Historically new.
The way things last, the way things fit and how things feel are the mantra of the line.
The Denim.
We only use the highest quality denim available. This is from the Okayama prefecture in western Japan. There is no comprimise, all of our jeans follow the same standards both in textile manufacture and make up. All of our jeans are special, not just the ‘showcase’ model.
Natural Plant Indigo. 14 Ounce short loom Selvedge Denim from Okayama
Natural Dyed Indigo Cotton Denim, colored by Natural organic indigo plant dye or Dyers Knotweed known as Polygonum tinctorum. Imported from China into Japan during the 5th & 6th Centuries. Now superseded in Japan by the more common Indigofera, Dyers Knotweed remains the truly historical indigo of choice. Giving a long lasting true blue colour that coats the outside of the cotton Yarn allowing both room and time to travel into the yarn giving a unique shadow blue colour after wear and wash.

Blow
Posted 25/04/2012 April 2012
Designer Jun Uezono created his jewellery company BLOW in 2009. Directly
influenced by his time spent working at an ironworks, Uezono picked up
the vital skills he needed, as well as inspiration to start his own
jewellery line. The designer’s history of working with iron, which is
renowned for being a difficult material to sculpt, has helped him to
adapt his techniques to work effectively with brass. Which is in turn
much stronger than gold and silver.

Boast USA, the widely celebrated east coast racquet sports brand, recently announced the relaunch of its signature polo, featuring the iconic Japanese Maple leaf logo. Though most simply saw it as a discreet symbol of irreverence, it reminded some of cannabis. In fact, one school board tried to have the brand banned.

St. John, an All American squash player at Cornell, started Boast with a couple of college friends. Within a few years Boast was a fixture on players from the Ivy League to the Pro Circuit; worn by squash teams, like Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. Today the brand remains true to its preppy sports heritage, and its recent revival has come at impeccable timing when the classic American look is making its comeback.

Cardigan
Posted 15/08/2011 August 2011
A Brief History of Cardigan
Cardigans made famous by Major General James Thomas Brudenell, AKA the 7th Earl of Cardigan, were originally worn as battle vestments. In the mid 19th century, the Major’s infamous battle was recorded by Alfred Lord Tennyson in “the Charge of the Light Brigade”. Although the Major wore his Cardigans with sartorial splendor (also trimmed with fur and braids), Cardigans gained popularity in the 17th century with French and British fishermen. Knit from coarser materials such as pure wool, they kept sailors and dockworkers warm while navigating rough northern Atlantic seas.

By the 1900’s, cardigans evolved into the mainstream at Harvard University when the baseball team personalized their jerseys then later wool cardigans, giving birth to the Letterman Sweater. The cardigan has transformed from it’s purely sartorial image to suit the more relaxed lifestyle of the 21st century.
CARDIGAN by Lynne Hiriak Men’s FALL 2011 Collection
CARDIGAN by Lynne Hiriak for Men traditionally blends the heritage of the French and English militia, sailors, dockworkers and universities. By mixing sartorial and utilitarian elements, the line offers a diverse range of fine merinos, cozy shawl collars, fisherman stitches, vintage influenced patterns, and of course signature maritime stripes. This season, Hiriak was influenced by the English classic wartime mini series “Brideshead Revisited”, most notably Charles Ryder. Metal trims combined with jersey patches and coverstitching hopes to eradicate any stuffy images of Cardigans of past. CARDIGAN loves the challenge of updating a basic iconic item and personalizing it to suit the sensibilities of the wearer.
Hiriak’s professional experience started in menswear for Polo Jeans Ralph Lauren, Nautica, and Michael Kors. After transitioning to womenswear and cultivating a design consulting business for notable brands such as Derek Lam, Thakoon, and Lela Rose, Hiriak successfully launched the CARDIGAN by Lynne Hiriak line for women in 2008. Now in her second Fall season of Men’s, Lynne has come full circle and back together with her original love - cozy men’s sweaters.

coverted American sportswear when growing up in Japan. To him clothing
which came out of the U.S.was an interesting blend of design and
innovation and the latest in industrial manufacturiing. He was
mesmerized by the details and saw that American sportswear was affected
in many ways throughout the decades by the immigrants who sewed the
clothes for the industry specialists who designed and manufactured
them.He came to appreciate the flaws and weaknesses in some of the

made clothes in a special way. “Those clothes have a natural, post
modernist and deconstructavist quaility about them. If a button falls
off, you sew another one on, but it probably won’t match and that makes
it uniquely yours. When you find a garment that you love to wear it
survives with you in its own way and becomes a second skin. It is
these clothes that I want to make, clothes that you love wearing and
become yours through the experience you have with them”.

With the launch of its first watch in 1974, Casio entered the wristwatch market at a time when the watch industry had just discovered digital technology. As a company with cutting-edge electronic technology developed for pocket calculators, Casio entered this field confident that it could develop timepieces that would lead the market.
In developing its own wristwatch Casio began with the basic question, "What is a wristwatch?" Rather than simply making a digital version of the conventional mechanical watch, we thought that the ideal wristwatch should be something that shows all facets of time in a consistent way. Based on this, Casio was able to create a watch that displayed the precise time including the second, minute, hour, day, and month - not to mention a.m. or p.m., and the day of the week. It was the first watch in the world with a digital automatic calendar function that eliminated the need to reset the calendar due to the variation in month length. Rather than using a conventional watch face and hands, a digital liquid crystal display was adopted to better show all the information. This culminated in the 1974 launch of the CASIOTRON, the worlds first digital watch with automatic calendar. The CASIOTRON won acclaim as a groundbreaking product that represented a complete departure from the conventional wristwatch.
In 1983, Casio launched the shock-resistant G-SHOCK watch. This product shattered the notion that a watch is a fragile piece of jewelry that needs to be handled with care, and was the result of Casio engineers taking on the challenge of creating the world's toughest watch. Using a triple protection design for the parts, module, and case, the G-SHOCK offered a radical new type of watch that was unaffected by strong impacts or shaking. Its practicality was immediately recognized, and its unique look, which embodied its functionality, became widely popular, resulting in explosive sales in the early 1990s. The G-SHOCK soon adopted various new sensors, solar-powered radio controlled technology, and new materials for even better durability. By always employing the latest technology, and continuing to transcend conventional thinking about the watch, the G-SHOCK brand has become Casio's flagship timepiece product.

History of the Gitman Brothers Shirt
To understand the full meaning of making a great American shirt, one can get an excellent overall view by looking at the history of the Gitman Brothers Shirt Company.
At the end of World War II, Max Gitman was a struggling shirt contractor in Brooklyn, NY, making high quality shirts for the excellent stores of his time. He, like many of the other better shirt makers, was a first generation immigrant trying to carve out a living in New York City, where rackets and unions after the war gained control over soft good manufacturing. The other makers of that time (the predecessors of Sero, Gant, Eagle, Kenneth Gordon, and virtually every other great shirt in the country) joined together and as a group decided to move away from New York City to an area of about a 150 mile radius in Pennsylvania to ply their trade.
Because these men were skilled teachers in the craft of fine shirt making, they in essence over time converted a large segment of the population in this area into skilled shirt makers, training all operators to have an eye toward achieving perfect cotton shirts. This area became a “hotbed” of better shirt making much like Como is to fine silk or Biella is to finest woolens. Shirt making in our area became part of the culture.
Over the last thirty years, many of these factories have closed and moved to the south of the United States, as the area is a high wage area. Many have also moved to obtain non union labor more often out of the country to achieve cheap labor prices.
Only a handful of these factories remain and we are proud to say that Gitman remains viable in the market today. Gitman shirts are crafted with the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship and the name is known throughout the shirt industry. Many families have four generations who have worked at our factory in Ashland and in many cases, these generations are still employed. This is a quality culture of fine shirt making no just sewing. Sewers can be found anywhere, but people raised in the culture cannot. Some spend their lunch hour speaking of how to turn a collar or cuff on a particularly “tricky” kind of cotton fabric. Our employees are the heart of our business, we are proud to be made in the USA.
Max Gitman ran the company, along with his twin sons Alfred and Sheldon until his death in the early 1960’s. At that time the sons took over the operations until their retirement in 1993. In 1996, the Individualized Apparel Group purchased the company and the Gitman Bros. label which is operating the facility today.

In the 1950’s Golden Bear began to produce the Varsity Jacket, the Bomber Jacket, and the Motorcycle jacket. They made award jackets for high schools and colleges throughout the USA. In the 1960’s the music scene exploded in San Francisco. Just as the love children flocked to Golden Gate Park, famous musicians found their way to the Golden Bear workshop. Members of the Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, The Doobie Bros and many more traveled to the Mission District, anxious to create a custom jacket for their band.
Word got out about this family business in San Francisco. The Golden Bear Bomber Jacket with a real shearling lining was sold from Maine to Oregon. Chamois Shirts and lamb suede Safari jackets for the new trend of travel fashion were sold nationwide. In the 1970’s, Golden Bear was introduced to the Japanese Market. Even now, Golden Bear garments can still be seen in the best retail shops in Japan.

There are 4 main departments connected with manufacturing within a footwear company and the components follow a progressive route through each of these departments to produce the finished shoes. The departments are, Clicking, closing, Lasting/Making, Finishing/Shoe Room. From start to finish will take around 3 weeks to make top quality Goodyear welted shoe whereas in cheaper shoe production the rule of thumb is often that if it cannot be made in 5 minutes it won't be profitable!

Now Nigo has decided to dig even deeper into his legendary archive and, working with the foremost vintage replica company WAREHOUSE, he has created a new brand - HUMAN MADE.
Each piece in the line is a direct reference to an iconic and much prized item in his vintage collection, which according to other collectors is one of the most comprehensive (and enviable) in the world.
Faithful to the original and made with meticulous attention to detail, Nigo is also determined to bring these pieces to live by designing new logos – courtesy of original A Bathing Ape, Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream graphics designer SK8Thing - and giving them contemporary body fits and cuts.
WAREHOUSE have an international reputation for the authenticity of their clothing. Established in 1995 and have worked in the past with Nigo on a number of BAPE products. Combining craftsmanship with modern technology, they were the obvious partners for Nigo’s new brand.
More than just a homage to the past each piece is loaded with original details from start to finish: authentic materials, construction processes and dyes have all been applied where ever possible – although some of the pieces are so rare and so old that a few of the techniques have been lost with the passing of time.
With Human Made, what Nigo’s managed to do is satisfy our love of vintage, our detail obsession and our desire to wear clothes which are relevant to now. In short, he’s laid the foundations for the vintage of the future.

It started in the loft Andy Spade shared with his wife Kate on Warren
Street in lower Manhattan. The idea was simple: to make bags that were
neither overly precious nor boring basics. They believed that bags could
be both utilitarian and stylish.
They began by making messenger bags out of waxed cotton and heavy
canvas. The design was straightforward and functional. The materials
were timeless and long-lasting. For feedback on durability, it occurred
to them to sell the bags to people who use utility bags in their work.
The first JACK SPADE bag was sold to a hardware store in 1997.
In 1999, JACK SPADE opened their first store at 56 Greene Street in
SoHo.

that improve with age and gain character with time, just like their
bags.

Kapital
Posted 18/07/2012 July 2012
Kapital started as a company in Kojima Kurashiki in 1984. At that time,
they were "Capital", a sewing factory and lover of craftsmanship, and
their passion for handicraft and "monozukuri" (craftsmanship) has never
wavered. Ever since the Meiji Restoration, Kojima has been famous as a
textile and sewing city due to its pioneer usage of "momen" (soaked
mulberry bark fibers) to make "tabi" (traditional Japanese socks). Until
the influence of western clothing in the Taisho period, Okayama was the
biggest tabi manufacture in Japan. However, as the demand for tabi
decreased dramatically, Kojima took a devastating hit to its
manufacturing industry and had to re-think development plans for the
future.

Until the influence of western clothing in the Taisho period, Okayama was the biggest tabi manufacture in Japan. However, as the demand for tabi decreased dramatically, Kojima took a devastating hit to its manufacturing industry and had to re-think development plans for the future. The end result was the manufacturing of school uniforms that utilize the same "momen" from before. Using the various knowhow of fabric dyeing and thick fabric use, Kojima started the production of jeans and became well-known throughout Japan as the "jean capital".
At the time of KAPITAL's (Capital) creation, while operating as an OEM and taking manufacturing orders from other companies, they sought out their own original look as an apparel maker and studied American vintage wear. They took everything they learned about fabrics, threads and dyes, buttons and rivets, etc… and concentrated on the creation of jeans. They were introduced to American sewing machines – needles, turbines, and motors, and developed new stitching for thicker fabrics. Everything that they came to study and learn, led to their first original company denim [TH], in 1996.
Alongside their factory, they opened their first store in Kojima in 1995 and thus had their first official place to display original jeans. Kapital then proceeded to seek out their own world vision for clothing by taking inspiration from the various traditional clothing and work wear found around the world. In 2003, Kapital opened their first stores in Tokyo allowing further spread of their clothing world vision and met many new faces, and now have a total of 16 stores nationwide. In 2010, they opened a new original factory named, "Kountry", utilizing new washing processes.

Lightning Bolt was one of the first heavy-hitter surf companies back in
the early ‘70s. Born from legendary shapers Jack Shipley and Gerry
Lopez, surfers knew they were getting quality product and flocked to
Hawaii to get their hands on Lightning Bolt boards and apparel. Jon Paskowitz, now president of Lightning Bolt, witnessed the
growth and success of the company firsthand in his youth. Now two years
into the re-launch of Lightning Bolt in the U.S., there’s none better
than the legendary Paskowitz name to re-establish the hype and put
Lightning Bolt back on the map.
Lightning Bolt is a pure source of inspiration. Lightning Bolt believes that surf is more than just a sport – it is a way of life, a way of mental and physical self-development, where there are no winners or losers. Whoever surfs always wins in regard to humbleness, companionship. Surfing developes self-knowledge with physical and psychological abilities essential to one’s daily life. Lightning Bolt believes that each wave is a life lesson. Lightning Bolt is inspired by the true spirit of surfing and its riders’ lifestyle, a soul surfer approach and a free rider state of mind.

London Undercover was established by designer Jamie Milestone in 2008
with the aim to turn around the humble umbrella and allow it to reach

With the celebration of British Culture at the core, London Undercover brings to life what is generally seen as a boring, disposable, last-minute item.
An obvious canvas for expression, the designs aim to encourage people to enjoy and take pride in what is, an indispensable, quintessentially British accessory. London Undercover not only touches on print, but also the elemental, functional parts of the design. In keeping with the British ecological ideology, almost every aspect of the product and process has been designed with a fresh environmental approach.

With the help of a traditional knitwear manufacturer based in the German Swabian Mountains, vintage fashion aficionado Peter Plotnicki revived the "old way of crafting clothes".
Driven by his passion for traditional fabrication processes, he and the team created a collection of garments solely made by 1920s-1950s circular knitting machines. All tops are based on authentic working man's apparel ranging from the first decades of the 20th century to army shirts of the sixties — some slightly modified, some copied from the original piece down to the last seam.

The Miansai studio is a direct reflection of the neighbourhood and city that surrounds it.
Years ago the space was home to a smokehouse that sat next to the historic Florida east coast railway, then known as the central hub of business distributed all throughout south Florida. As Miami grew, the smokehouse and railroad eventually became abandoned as business moved away from downtown.
Midtown Miami has now been transformed. Its been reborn as a design district boasting a robust art scene and a new sense of community. The revival continues as the original railway is rebuilt, bringing a new lifeline into the heart of the city.
Taking inspiration from its neighbourhood, the Miansai studio embodies a sense of vintage Americana with a timeless vision, which is reflected in the brands collections.

Makaha in the ‘50s was a surfer’s Eden. Situated on the west side of Oahu, the sun shined brightly, the prevailing winds were offshore, and the ocean shimmered in vibrant sapphire blue.
Most importantly, the surf pumped. Lauded as the birthplace of big wave surfing, stouthearted waveriders from Waikiki and the mainland shacked up in army-built Quonset huts and lived a simple, oceanic lifestyle. By day, they streaked across the clean turquoise combers with regal grace. By night, they gathered around campfires on the beach and talked story, sang songs.

By day, they streaked across the clean turquoise combers with regal grace. By night, they gathered around campfires on the beach and talked story, sang songs.
Down the road, at a mom-and-pop tailor shop called M.Nii, some of the first surf trunks were about to take flight. It was a natural progression: first, local waveriders brought their “baggies” to M.Nii’s for repairs. Recognizing the need for durability and comfort, M.Nii built simple twill trunks made specifically for surfing. With feedback from some of the best surfers of that era, he added stripes, wax pockets, patches. They earned a nickname: the “Makaha Drowner.”
When overseas waveriders visited Hawaii for the inaugural Makaha International Surfing Championships in 1954, they were blown away by M.Nii’s surf trunks. When they left, they took home several pairs. Word spread. Along with shinnying up coconut trees, eating yourself into a food coma at luaus, and getting bucked off your 10’ longboard in the Makaha shorebreak, a visit to M.Nii’s became part of the ritual.
They were not just a pair of surf trunks; they were a memento, a badge of honor. The faded back-side spoke of six-hour marathon sessions in ten foot waves. Those beads of sandy wax stuck in the eyelets smelled of coconuts. That stain on the cuff? Pork laulau. The more weathered and beaten your M.Nii’s, the more wholeheartedly you understood ‘Aloha.’

Meg Company produce the stunning Yuketen shoe line, Monitaly rugged out doors wear, Santa Domingo Boots, Epperson Mountaineering bags and Chamula South American scarfs and knits.
Monitaly’s motto is vintage detail, quality and comfort. Monitaly has developed as the brand imports any kind of culture, in an out of box kind of way. The brand’s mission is to touch hearts with people who wear these clothes, and to keep growing.
The leather that is used to make Santo Domingo Boots is hand-cut gently by scissors and nailed to the last by hand (bench made). The bench made manufacturing process allows the leather to retain it’s original texture and strength. Factory policy mandates that all shoes remain on the last for at least ten days or until the leather adapts to the perfect shape of the last. Some designs require small wooden stakes pounded by hand into the heel which is a technique has been used for centuries. Thus, it takes significant time and effort to make great quality Santo Domingo Boots.
One key special feature of Santo Domingo Boots is the leather insole and heel counter. The leather used for the leather insole and heel counter is naturally vegetable tanned and sanded by hand to expose the first layer of flesh underneath the grain finish thus improving breathability. The heel counter is extended to its arch, so that the boots have amazing arch support. The great design and functional structure of Santo Domingo Boots keep satisfying the lucky wearer in every way.
In addition to the high-end line, Santo Domingo Boots has extended production to a casual collection approximately one year ago. The casual collection boasts modern taste at an affordable price so that a wider audience of customers can enjoy wearing leather boots and shoes daily.

CHAMULA
Chamula products are very warm and soft because they are made of Merino wool which comes from sheep grazing in the Mexican Mountains. Don’t confuse your grandpa’s itchy old sweater with Chamula! Chamula sweaters feel great on your skin. Mexican natives hand-make Chamula products one by one for all production processes such as dyeing and knitting, so each product is one of a kind and very original. The more you wear it, the deeper its texture gets. It will be your must-have garment in the winter!

So far we have seen collections entitled Prisoner research, News Boy Research, Riding Research, Naval Research, Hunting Jacket research and of course the regular winter collections of Mountain Research. For quality of manufacture and design all of these lines are completely unrivalled, setting a global precedent for detail and aesthetic that is often copied but never bettered.

“My Security Blanket”
Security blanket means ”something gives both comfort and relief” (It doesn’t mean “fire blanket”) It could be anything, but the point is that has to be something you will want to keep at your side all the time.
The word originates from “ A baby’s security blanket”. You might have had memories of a time when you couldn’t go to sleep without being wrapped in your favorite cotton blanket. This word gained popularity with the success of Snoopy. You must have seen Linus trailing his blanket anytime anywhere.
This year is Montain Reseach’s 4th year. We have been working on our ”concrete relation with mountains” for three years and we realized that a horse blanket was always by our side when we spent nights in the mountains.
The blanket which protects us from the cold and the campfire embers is our “Security Blanket”
“Security Blanket” is a must-have for mountaineers.

North Sea Clothing source the best craftsmen and raw materials that they can find for their products, working closely with craftsmen to achieve products in which they believe.
The Leather
North Sea Clothing use premium grade English bridle leather. It's fully vegetable tanned, traditionally pit tanned, hand stained and hand finished using tallow and natural oils, which creates a subtle and mellow leather that will improve with age and use. Please note the bloom that sometimes appears is a sign of quality and not a fault. It's the natural oils coming out of the leather. Simply burnish with a soft cotton cloth.
The Hardware
North Sea Clothing use marine grade 316 stainless steel, designed to the highest technical level for performance.
The Process
North Sea Clothing accessories are all bench made by artisanal craftsmen in England. The products are all hand stitched (no sewing machine used) involving the use of two needles and linen thread treated with natural beeswax. The work is then held in a clam (a wooden handheld saddler's vice) while the stitching is done. This is a highly skilled job, carried out by a single craftsman. This type of stitching is stronger and more flexible than machine stitching. All the edges of the work are hand creased (this is the decorative tooled line at the edge of the leather) using a heated handheld tool. Edges are then stained and burnished, by hand, to finish.
The Outcome
North Sea Clothing believe in creating beautifully crafted products, pure in design, that will give years of pleasure whatever the weather.

POST O’ALLS / POST OVERALLS has been well received by diverse range of customers since their debut in 1993. The idea was to create vintage-inspired but practically new work clothes that can match with our love - superbly detailed and beautifully constructed vintage pieces.
The first collection displayed 1940s styled railroad jacket in Polar Fleece and earlier pullover style work shirt in heavy weight gingham chambray among other obscure yet timeless styles.
Since its inception, POST O’ALLS’ idea has been remain unchanged-Authentic in details and constructions, eclectic in fabrications with some extra ideas and characters built in, and each garment is made in U.S.A.
POST O’ALLS has its primary design idea deeply rooted in vintage work clothes and other functional garments-such as military outfits and outdoor garments-which are all evolved from work wear platform.
Takeshi Ohfuchi, the designer, has huge respect towards anonymous American vintage work clothes designs, especially from 1920~30s which he considers “the very best”- a great marriage of old-world craftsmanship and then emerging Machine Age inspired American industrial design. He believes many of the great American original designs have emerged and flourished in that era.
By wearing and collecting these vintage pieces daily since early 1980s, he became naturally aware of beauty in their patterns and constructions, unmistakable designs and unique fabrications -the elements that make those vintage pieces ultra cool and eternal. Those essences were all thrown into the manufacturing of POST O’ALLS.

Legendary
sunglass brand from the happy 80's, a blend of color and joie de vivre
with sporty functionality and laid back fashion.
SUNPOCKET was introduced in France in the late 1970’s / early 1980’s. It became a huge accessory hit in street – as well as in sports fashion around Europe. The Sunpocket era during the 80´s was a complete color explosion, especially in the fashion industry. The colorful foldable shades with their mirror-shaded glass introduced a combination of funkiness, functionality and rock’n’roll into the 80’s eyewear fashion scene. There were literally Sunpocket’s everywhere; approximately 1 million units were sold only in the Scandinavian countries.
The plan to re-launch the sleeping brand occurred in 2009 when a pair of Sunpocket was found in a cottage in Trysil, a Norwegian ski resort. Two years later in 2011 the original Sunpocket shades are being re-launched with the pure passion for a joyful and colorful living as the era of the 1980’s meant.
The fundamentals for Sunpocket are still the colorfulness, functionality and deep devotion to sports fashion aligning from the happy 80’s till today and onwards.

offered; the hoof pick and a regular #12 brass buckle belt. They were
both available in Dark Havana brown or plain black. The leather was
vegetable tanned, the buckles solid brass and the workmanship done by
hand. Today Wiley Brothers is proud to offer 6 different styles in 10
different colours with a women’s line on the way. The quality has only
improved over the years. Wiley Brothers use only the finest vegetable
tanned English bridle leather available and many of their brass buckles
are now cast locally not only to ensure quality, but so that they may
also offer customers something unique which speaks to who they are and
how they live. The belts are made to last decades and only improve with
age and since they last so long the designs must be timeless.

Classic made in U.S.A. footwear and luggage are exceptional as traditional artifacts of the rugged and refined American past. Since 1985, designer Yuki Matsuda has paid homage to the American crafts and traditions by treasure hunting for outstanding examples of footwear and luggage in remote locales spread out across the rolling Appalachians to the high Sierras.
During Yuki's quests for American rarities, he befriended several footwear, luggage, leather, and blanket artisans whose personalities and skills are more beautiful and pure than their output. Yuketen exists from the lessons and heritage gleaned from these men and women, their respected predecessors.
Each Yuketen article begins with utmost thought and research and is constructed solely by aged hands of high-skill and years of experience.They choose only the most durable and precious raw materials such as all-vegetable tanned leather, which is exclusive to Yuketen luggage products, or American naked leather unique for it's heavy, thick, and soft characteristics. Yuketen products' finishing touches are made by the owner's individual insignias; the outline of their footprint, crease-marks from the bend of their ankle, imprints from their hands, color shed from their skin, mementos of their lifetime.
