‘member when we brought you Erik Brunetti’s FUCT line of bitchin’ Vietnam-era inspired camo? Well, his new line is starting to street (apparently only in Japan, from what we can figure, but if you know different, drop us a line, wouldja?) and we, of course, are digging the denim.
Dubbed “SSDD” or Same Shit Different Day for you long-form guys, the new denim line is this week’s Product Review Tuesdays feature (here). Made from Okayama selvedge denim –– named after the area of Japan the stuff comes from –– the first two jeans have been dubbed ‘raw’ and ‘dirty washed.’ We’ll take ours in RAW, please. Two pairs.
In Erik’s typical obsessive and slightly insane attention to detail, the hardware on the jeans are perfect little replicas of the Scovill trim, which was used on the earliest American dungarees. Now, while it doesn’t appear the SSDD line features the nut-frying rivet in the crotch that forty-niners of yore encountered while standing ’round the campfire on chilly northern California nights, Brunetti’s line-up is just the oh-so-right mix of vintage inspiration and modern good looks that we really need to have for ourselves.
