Hi Y’all,

Second day of the year and the weather is getting even colder. Yesterday I finished my Vintage 0901 -project with another wash and today I am starting my new Copper GL003-MB journey. Am I excited? Yes, who wouldn’t love a pair of new jeans. The project will start off in a very, very interesting weather as the temperature is about -20 degrees Celsius as I am writing this and should drop down to -30 tonight. Thus I will start my report tomorrow, after I put these jeans through their first elemental test.

But before we get down to reminiscing the good “old” days of the 0901 -project or the proper introductions of the new projects, I have a little something different for your reading pleasure this Saturday. I recently got my hands on an issue of WorkWear -magazine from Japan. Let me tell you, this magazine is something else. Imagine this, a huge magazine full of denim/ workwear articles and plenty of great denim.

I will share few stories and scans from the magazine in the future as well but will start off with few selected scans today. The reason I originally got my hands on the magazine was due to its articles and ads of our dear friend Momotaro Jeans and just wanted to share few scans with you.

The article shares few pics and details on the Copper Label as well as Going to War/Battle label -Momotaro Jeans. This works well with the start of my Copper Label journey today.

The translations are available per request and I will definitely be posting more similar articles as these come available.

I leave you with a throwback denim ad from the same magazine, a blast from the past might I say. Hercules, the world’s best quality overalls. I’m off to the freezing weather out there, so enjoy your weekend. But if your neck of the woods has same weather as here and you’re going out there, packs few layers of clothing just to stay warm. Peace, I’m out.
