loomstate: Veldtschoen in Tokyo
http://loomstate.blogspot.com/2015/04/veldtschoen-in-tokyo.html
Friday, 17 April 2015. This is an interesting and - for me - optimistic news story from the BBC, reporting that sales of Northampton-made shoes are rising in the Far East. We've all seen the various Tricker collabs that are popular in Japan, but it's great to see Cheaney Veldtschoen on sale in Isetan (alongside Tokyo Hands. One of my favourite shops in the world.).

Hippies stole my blog! *: December 2014
http://hippiesstolemyblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Hippies stole my blog! Not really, I'm lying but it might get people to look. No actual Hippies were injured in the making of this web log. This is my place to promote and talk about cool music, books,. And share any creative endeavors of my own. Tuesday, December 02, 2014. More about Brian Jones. While reading Paul Trynka. Well, some did apparently. For turning his own spotlight back onto Howlin' Wolf and other then marginalized black blues men you f-ng loved him! As a music fanatic I somehow miss, mayb...

loomstate: July 2014
http://loomstate.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, 7 July 2014. Magic number: Mikiharu Tsujita and the Full Count 1108. For all these reasons, I happened to take my own 1108, bought from Full Count's store in Harjuku,. Out for a walk when I wandered around Columbia Road and Brick Lane on Sunday. When I dropped in on Son of a Stag, they clocked my well-worn arse and informed me that the designer of the jeans, Mikiharu Tsujita was in town. I'd like to ask you about your 1108, which I believe is a classic design. What was the inspiratiion? Obviously...

loomstate: The Beautiful Grain: Cheaney's new Veldtschoen
http://loomstate.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-great-grain-cheaneys-new-veldtschoen.html
Saturday, 30 August 2014. The Beautiful Grain: Cheaney's new Veldtschoen. Sometimes I worry I'm the only person mildly obsessed with Veldtschoen boots, but after a trip to Jermyn Street today, I didn't feel quite so lonely. The Cairngorm, Cheaney's long-established Veldtschoen shoe, looks even better in the new leather; the bumpier finish looks a little more rugged and suits the shape much better. The same applies to the Pennine, the company's standard Veldt boot, which I've featured here before.

loomstate: Fantastic 1880s photo of a miner in a 3-pleat jacket
http://loomstate.blogspot.com/2013/06/fantastic-1880s-photo-of-miner-in-3.html
Thursday, 6 June 2013. Fantastic 1880s photo of a miner in a 3-pleat jacket. I just noticed this lovely photo that came through to my spam folder, sent to me by JDW. Thanks, JD! The jacket indeed looks very similar to the Levi's 3-pleat. So many makers were recent immigrants, these were quite possibly based on European originals. Take a look at the original photo. I have written to the Library of Congress asking to reproduce it on this blog. 2 July 2013 at 13:23. 3 July 2013 at 12:48.

loomstate: August 2012
http://loomstate.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 25 August 2012. Tokyo Denim Tour part 1: Nakameguro, Daikanyama and Ebisu. Shopping is by no means the main attraction of Tokyo - but, let's face it, it's a worthwhile pastime. The department stores - Isetan and, especially, Tokyu Hands, the magnificent multistorey hardware store - are some of the world's finest. But I especially liked the smaller, boutique stores, many of which are unique, with carefully-sourced product and often many proprietary lines you rarely see elsewhere. In many ways, j...
