SS23 | BWS-03 MILITARY OVERSHIRT
As part of the SS23 collection we’re releasing three new options in our BWS-03 MILITARY OVERSHIRT style. The first two options will be familiar for some, as they are an update of the previous version. We’ve decided to add handwarmer pockets to the design, after receiving some feedback and suggestions from friends and loyal customers. The inside of the pockets has...
VIDEO: in conversation with Bonne Reijn
Lennaert sat down with Bonne, the founder of his eponymous suit brand, to talk about our recent collaboration and how it came about. Since they're both Dutchmen, the conversation is in Dutch. But you can turn on the subs if you don't understand our silly little language ;-)
BONNE x BENZAK
We’ve teamed up with Bonne Suits to create a selvedge denim version of their classic workwear suit. This project has become a true collaboration, as we’ve mixed the design of their Bonne jackets with our jeans, using our special #2 fabric, woven exclusively for us by Candiani Denim. The jacket is based on the Bonne Suit double-breasted worker jacket. It is...
FABRIC LEFTOVERS REPURPOSED
During the development of our AW22 collection we realised that we would end up with some extra meters of our 15.5 oz. RCI selvedge fabric, which we premiered in our B-01 SLIM and B-03 TAPERED jeans. Knowing that we also had a leftover roll of Japanese blanket fabric at our disposal, we decided to put the two together and repurpose...
BBJ-03 FLIGHT JACKET
For the final drop of our AW22 collection, we’re introducing a brand-new style: the BBJ-03 FLIGHT JACKET. This military inspired jacket pays homage to several vintage styles, combined to create our own unique version. The obvious starting point is a vintage flight jacket, which we’ve developed using our BBJ base pattern and updated with...
VIDEO: BWS-04 SCOUT OVERSHIRT
In this video we’ll guide you through a brand-new shirt silhouette, the BWS-04 SCOUT OVERSHIRT. It’s a versatile style that can both function as a shirt and jacket, depending on the season. The pattern is based on the BWS-03 MILITARY OVERSHIRT block, but with a couple of different design choices. For its debut, we have decided...
VIDEO: military twill chinos
The 10 oz. military twill chinos have been a popular non-denim option in our collection for quite some time now, therefore we’re completing the range for AW22. The fabric comes in three classic colours: golden brown, army green and sand, which take their inspiration from military workwear and vintage garments. The military twill fabric is available in two different cuts...
VIDEO: heavy slub 16 oz. RHT
Besides introducing new fabrics, we’re also big proponents in maintaining a strong core collection. For that reason, we’re reviewing the longest running fabric in our ‘made in Japan’ line: the heavy slub 16 oz. RHT. The fabric is in the heavier range of fabrics and is woven with slub yarns, hence the name ‘heavy slub’. Besides the slubby texture, the jeans are constructed using a....
OUR GUSSET TEE GETS A NEW COLOUR
The BT-06 lineup has received brown melee as a new colour option this autumn/winter season. It’s using the same 300 gsm heavy jersey fabric as the other already available colours and has both a front and back neck gusset, resulting in a very durable garment which is made to last. Due to the fabric weight and the spacious body....
BENZAK X SAMURAI JEANS FADING CONTEST WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
After a week of deliberating, reviewing, comparing, and discussing, we have narrowed it down to the top 10 of our BENZAK x Samurai Jeans fading contest. We had to make some tough choices, because there were way more than 10 submissions that looked absolutely stunning. Even though fades have been the main point of judging, engagement and...
VIDEO: 15.5 oz. RCI selvedge
We’ve very excited to introduce a brand-new fabric to the collection, the 15.5 oz. RCI selvedge. The name RCI stands for Robecchetto con Induno which is the place of conception of the Candiani Denim Mill. We think that the combination of weight, construction and indigo dye, make this a true classic denim fabric which will evolve into a bright blue colour over time.
OUR INDIGO ECO LINEUP EXPANDED
As part of the first drop of our AW22 season, we’re expanding the available cuts in the 13 oz. indigo eco selvedge. This is one of our most sustainable fabrics available in the European made line, mainly due to the use of post-consumer recycled cotton. The fabric was initially launched for the SS22 season, in the B-01 SLIM and BDJ-05 TRUCKER JACKET. For this season we've added...
