What a day. First off shout out to our very own Jeci Chao, Happy Birthday! May Day’s ain’t got nothing on May 2nd. On that note Happy Golden Week National Holidays to all of our friends in Japan! We take it as if every day’s a celebration. Life’s good, especially when the sun’s shining and the weather is clear.

I promised some fit pics of the Copper Label project and since I’m a man of my word, here you go. I have to say, I love these jeans. They’ve adjusted perfectly in these 16 weeks of wear and tear. I have to say that the wash at 3 month benchmark did the jeans good. Well enough talk, and more pictures.

As I have mentioned in the past, slim fitting jeans just don’t fit me and my tall frame. The scarecrow on steroids reference still applies. But I find the Straight Leg Copper Label jeans slightly slimmer than the Straight Leg Vintage Label Momotaro Jeans. The difference is not that huge, but enough to notice it. Nevertheless, this is a fit that I love. Roomy, but not too baggy. Classic straight leg jeans.

There’s some major stacking going on at the back of the knees.

I want to save the detailed pics for the next post, but the jeans are evolving fast. Below just few nice details. There’s some twill breaking on both of the inseams near the cuffs. But the jeans are still as solid as ever.

This picture below shows the state of the color on the front (thighs) of the jeans. Loving the faded blue. Pictures don’t do justice to the color.

We pretty much spent the day at the city walking around and embracing the fine, warm weather. Just look at the blue skies. Damn.

The winter is but a distant memory and we’re getting ready to the summer. Expect to see plenty of more evolution of Copper Label Denim in the following weeks.

Enjoy the Golden Week no matter where you are and stay safe. Big up, I’m out!

Without further ado I present to you the Spring 2010 look of the NordicDenimHouse.com.

There’s a little retro element to it as the picture was taken in the same location as the image we used one year ago.

Actually the plan was to replicate the last year’s one with the same gear, same spot and same idea but in the end we thought that we need something fresh for The Year Of the Tiger. The “pop your collar” picture features shirts from KIKS TYO and Vintage Label 0901 Momotaro Jeans. We’re planning to bring more pictures on the site to the respective segments and below just few of the on set pictures taken that sunny Saturday.

The snow pile looked a lot smaller this morning!

I was planning on posting more pics but since I may want to use the pics on the site or so thought that I will hold them for a bit longer.

Yesterday remy mentioned the untimely and unfortunate passing of Keith Elam aka Guru, a true originator in the Hip Hop circles. The founding member of Gangstarr and Jazzmatazz a fusion of Jazz and gangster rap. I have been a big fan of Gangstarr and Guru for a long time and such news always surprise and sadden a fan. Nevertheless we continue to celebrate the career of an artist like Guru through his music, which never gets old. So anothr video for the road. God Speed Guru, you will be missed.

Christmas is almost here and yours truly has been overwhelmed with Xmas preparations along with the rest of the stuff like work. But all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. Well no fear of that, I’m never dull and when you love what you do, work does not even feel like work. But the cleaning, packing and gift shopping, that’s a whole different thing. That said, all these other things have taken a lot of my time so pardon a bit shorter blog post today.

Today I bring you something special. A look into what the near future and KIKS TYO are going to bring us. What I can say now is that next year will feature all new model line up with plenty of fresh designs, hot sneakers and well, hot chicks. First of whom for the Spring 2010 is Pin Up Model and actress Yuu Tejima who was recently featured as a katana wielding bikini (and cowboy hat) wearing zombie slayer in a film Vortex which is (possibly) based on a game under same title. Haha, who needs plot when you have all of the above features.

Well while not chopping off zombie heads Yuu also does modeling and thus collaborated with our good friends at KIKS TYO. Below some sneak peeks of what’s coming up. The tees are hot, needless to say more. These and much more goodies are coming up next year so stay tuned. Oh, and don’t forget to vote for my next denim project.

Have a good night or morning, depending on your location. I’m off to sleep, peace…
