The lovable G-Janniki
Hello, denim lovers!
Thank you for always reading our blog.
This is Takahashi, Public Relations for JELADO.
By the way, do you know the character called "G-Jean Niki"?
Yes, that's the nickname for Yamamoto, the manager of JELADO WEST (Osaka store).
If you are not yet familiar with his world of G-Jackets, filled with his passion and commitment, I would be delighted if you would take this opportunity to learn more.
When you think of jeans...
James Dean
Marlon Brando
Freddie Mercury
Yohei Goto
You're thinking of great icons, aren't you? (laughs)
So, what about G-Jackets?
Yes,
it's our "G-Jean Niki."
The only person I associate with a G-Jacket is "G-Jean Niki."
G-Jean Niki's aging is remarkably cool.
More than cool, it looks exactly like vintage.
*G-Jean Niki is wearing 406XX
His aging technique is indescribable in a single word....
To put it simply, it's an aging process that's more vintage than vintage, filled with nostalgia and individuality, as if you've traveled back in time in a time machine.
When asked about the secret to aging G-Jean Niki...
"I researched daily life and people's lives in America and found the secret to aging from there."
was the answer...
You might not quite understand what he's saying...
To briefly clarify:
In America, it's common to dry clothes in a dryer instead of hanging them outside because visible laundry can detract from the scenery and lower property values.
*In some states, there are regulations that can lead to fines.
Many denim lovers probably wash their denim inside out with a special denim detergent and then hang it to dry in the shade.
However, in America, it's commonplace to throw clothes into a washing machine and then tumble them vigorously in a powerful dryer.
G-Jean Niki pursued the aging process created by this American daily routine, and apparently, he even made a presentation to his wife to get a super-powerful washer-dryer installed at home.
His dedication is on another level, isn't it?
G-Jean Niki's adventure, which began with laundry, kicked off with a powerful dryer.
His passion for pursuing the aging that is part of everyday American life.
If you're interested, we've prepared a video that captures the birth of G-Jean Niki and his self-described techniques, so please take a look.
The beloved "G-Jean Niki" and the "G-Jean aging samples" he nurtured can only be found at JELADO WEST.
We look forward to your visit to JELADO WEST.

And so, as of today, JELADO's classic white tag 2nd type 406XX is available at both stores and online.
JELADO 406XX - The Birth of the Best Denim Jacket
The JELADO 406XX uses 14-ounce denim fabric scientifically reproduced by thoroughly analyzing the DEAD STOCK fabric of Levi's 501XX from the early 1950s.
This denim, made from carefully selected American cotton and painstakingly reproduced down to the thread thickness, fiber length, and twist count, has been named "LAST RESORT (Heirloom Blade)" as JELADO's original denim fabric.
Every detail, from the indigo color and fabric density to the stitching method and button placement, faithfully reproduces the original details of the time.
It is an original JELADO masterpiece with attention to detail, including iron buttons on the front, copper rivets, and a rayon red tab.
This single piece can be worn all year round, and the soft denim fabric offers exceptional comfort.
Please try the ultimate denim jacket, JELADO 406XX.
Also, we are accepting pre-orders for the black tag 1st type 407XX in anticipation of its restock.
JELADO 407XX - Ultimate Denim with a Vintage Feel
If you're looking for an even more vintage feel, the JELADO 407XX is highly recommended.
Based on the "LAST RESORT DENIM," which became JELADO's greatest masterpiece, an even wilder and more vintage-feeling denim has been created.
This is our first 1ST TYPE denim jacket, adopting a special 15-ounce denim reproduced by deconstructing and analyzing a DEADSTOCK XX.
This denim faithfully reproduces the characteristic details of the 1ST type, such as the single pocket flap, single-sided tab, five buttons, inner cuff buttons, and back strap.
Following the fabric approach of pre-1940s, it also reproduces features like a cinch-back buckle and box stitching that secures the pleats, with buttons at different heights.
This is a piece we highly recommend for those who seek the ultimate vintage feel and wildness.
G-Jean season is here.
Please take this opportunity to get your hands on a JELADO G-Jean.
