The approaching Tiger

Hi Y’all,
As you well know, the year of the Tiger is approaching and you can sense the prosperity of the new lunar year. We’ll be celebrating the lunar new year (in style) in Copenhagen, Denmark due to the CPH-Vision/ Terminal-2 fair, which we’ll be attending together with our friends from Momotaro Jeans. But I’m sure it’s going to be an auspicious CNY.
The Year Of… the Tiger (Preview)

Hi Y’all,
The decade has changed and we’re living in the year 2010, but in February we’ll be stepping into another year, The Year Of… the Tiger. Needless to say I will be posting a Chinese New Year special next month, but before that I thought of dropping a little something for your viewing pleasure. A preview as one might call it.
New Year, New Products

Hi Y’all,
The year sure started with a bang. New monster buildings in Dubai, snowstorms in Asia and the usual stuff. But we’re keeping our cool in heat or cold. In celebration of new year we’re bringing you fresh new gear from The Year Of… and Momotaro Jeans. First of The Year Of Dog – Lil’ Brooklyn design that was introduced some time back and also featured in the poll for my next denim project (which will be properly introduced this week).

Hi Y’all,
Hope you have had a chance to give your vote on my next big denim project (see the poll on the right).
Four more nights till Christmas Eve. Splendid! Few more days of work followed by a long weekend full of seasonal celebrations. Christmas is a season of sharing and giving, but also like someone from my family mentioned about receiving. It’s true, as nice as it is to give presents it’s also nice to get a few surprise gifts.

Hi Y’all,
As I hinted on my post yesterday, I am looking into starting my next denim project shortly and decided that it would be best to let you, our readers decide what type of project I’m going to undertake. I did do some preliminary ranking based on the type of jeans and the available size. But in the end you have the choice over what jeans I will put through wear and tear next year. On the right you can see the poll, so don’t hesitate to cast your vote.
The Future

Good evening to y’all and y’all,
Today, probably inspired by the Astro Boy Manga I’ve been reading for the past few days I’m sharing a few lines on the future, more precisely the future of denim and fashion in general. The comic was certainly ahead of its time like many but it’s not just the comics that inspire me. I actually had a good chat about the world of denim, where the denim scene is at the moment and where it’s heading. The denim game is interesting in the way that it has pretty much stayed unchanged with of course changes in cuts and styles but in the end the pursuit of that perfect blue has remained the same.
Growing Pains

Hi Y’all,
Progress process always has some bumps on the road and we had to go through some growing pains with our recent server upgrade. As some of you might have noticed, we experienced some server hiccups which limited the usage of the site to some degree. So sorry for the inconvenience and sincere thanks for the support.
Happy Halloween!

Hi Y’all,
Happy Halloween!
It’s again the time of the year when the freaks come out. Halloween, the classic holiday that has its roots in the Celtic harvest festivities and Christian All Saints Day falling around this time of the year. Finland is still only adopting this holiday as a great reason to throw a party. Still it is amusing to see kids going trick or treating in the neighborhood dressed as ghosts and vampires. Just few years back folks usually didn’t have candy or any treats for the kids and ended up getting tricked. Well today I would imagine folks are more prepared and won’t get their house egged, heh.

Hi Y’all,
Fresh week, last of September 2009. The sun is still shining, and life’s good.
The journey continues and personally I have another reason for celebration. It happens to be my birthday, heh. It so happens that this year I celebrate another milestone on a Monday. Typical! Well I won’t let such details keep me down. I guess it’s just fitting for this particular year of the Ox.

Greetings,
It’s been a great week and we’re enjoying our journey to the fullest. Weekend was once again too short but time flies when you’re having fun. Crayfish celebrations and summer time on the country side. It’s hard to beat that. The batteries are charging and we’re getting ready for another week with much to look forward to.
