Denim & Leather

Born from necessity and function. Heritage fashion captures the meaning behind innovation. And stays true to its purpose.

There's no question. The 9111s are def one of my favorite shoes from redwing. Im so into these bad boys, i actually bought 2. And im planning on buying another one in the future and mod it to a halfsole construction. . . @redwingheritage @redwingshoes @redwingphilippines @redwingph @ruggedworkwear @boots.looks @clutchmagazinejapan . . #heritagestyle #heritageboots #heritagefashion #heritageclothing #ruggedstyle #ruggedoutdoorapparel #ruggedworkwear #workwear #workwearfashion #workwearstyle #vintagestyle #vintageclothing #vintageworkwear #vintagefashion #vintageboots #redwing #redwingheritage #redwingphilippines #redwingshoes #redwing9111 #redwingboots #redwingstyle #leatherwork #leathercraft #leatherboots #bootsaddict #bootsoftheday #bootstagram #bootsofinstagram #kotd (at Baguio City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgTJuQmPgv0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its been cold the past couple days so i figured what better time to pull out my etbx jacket than today. Thing is, the lining makes it too hot so a had to take it off. Regardless, it's a nice complement to my uniqlo pants that I've been wearing heavily. . . @selvedgephilippines @uniqlo @uniqlophofficial @owndaysph @owndays_jp @ruggedworkwear @clutchmagazinejapan @selvedge_today . . #heritagestyle #heritageclothing #heritagefashion #sherpajacket #uniqlo #uniqloph #vintagestyle #vintageclothing #denimfreak #denimdays #denimfordays #denimdaily #denimdudes #denimcommunity #denimjeans #selvedgeforum #selvedge #selvedgedenim #selvedgephilippines #selvedgeclub #stayraw #rawdenim #365daysofraw #mensfashion #ruggedstyle #ruggedoutdoorapparel #ruggedworkwear #workwear #workwearfashion #workwearstyle (at Baguio City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgFSHrovXTn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You've seen this once or twice in the past when i tried competing in the indigo invitational. Knuckleduster fade. Sadly i wasnt able to submit on the 7th, that's how it goes. Hope to join in the next competition. . . @uniqlo @uniqlophofficial @selvedgephilippines @selvedge_today @clutchmagazinejapan @ruggedworkwear @kaihara_denim @rugged_cash_n . . #heritagestyle #vintagecollection #ruggedoutdoorapparel #vintageclothing #vintageworkwear #workwear #workwearfashion #workwearstyle #ruggedstyle #ruggedoutdoorapparel #ruggedworkwear #slowfashion #selvedgeforum #selvedge #selvedgedenim #selvedgephilippines #selvedgeclub #selvedgesunday #denimfreak #denimfades #denimfordays #denimdaily #denimdudes #denimcommunity #denimjeans #japaneseselvedge #japanesedenim #stayraw #rawdenim #365daysofraw (at Baguio City, Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4TYaVvGvg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A simple shot of my roughout boots from alternative country. White backdrop to make it more simplistic.

Who else loves the details they put on a pair of quality jeans? Take this rivet of my evisu type 3 for example. Not a lot of new brand do this kind of thing anymore. I've seen mall jeans without any intricacies done to the smallest and least seen parts of the jeans. Good thing they still make quality clothing. . . @evisu1991 @selvedgephilippines @selvedge_today @clutchmagazinejapan @ruggedworkwear . . #heritagestyle #heritage #heritageclothing #vintagestyle #vintageworkwear #vintageinspired #vintagefashion #evisu #selvedgedenim #selvedgeforum #selvedgephilippines #selvedgeclub #selvedge #denimfreak #denimdays #denimfordays #denimdaily #denimdudes #denimcommunity #ruggedstyle #ruggedoutdoorapparel #ruggedworkwear #stayraw #rawdenim #365daysofraw #slowfashion #japaneseselvedge #mensfashion #slowfashionmovement https://www.instagram.com/p/CcnjPOyvjeS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was strolling around the mall the other day and saw what seemed to be a type 1 jacket by Code Blue. Lo and behold, it was! Non-selvedge but man, qho wouldnt be stocked if the size is just right, right? It's got a cinch bqck as well. So my lady bought it and decided i gotta make it more personalize, so i thought to myself what about give a nod to 2 of our local brands. . . @homage_lifestyle @thevault2600ph @selvedgephilippines @ruggedworkwear @clutchmagazinejapan @selvedge_today . . #heritagestyle #heritage #heritageclothing #vintagecollection #vintagestyle #vintageclothing #vintageworkwear #workwear #workwearfashion #workwearstyle #denim #denimdays #denimfordays #denimdaily #denimdudes #denimcommunity #denimjacket #type1jacket #stayraw #rawdenim #365daysofraw #slowfashion #ruggedstyle #ruggedoutdoorapparel #ruggedworkwear #supportlocal #indigo #ootd #slowfashionmovement #codeblue https://www.instagram.com/p/CfNvltqhGYl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Went out for a good old walk around the sunset terraces with the old lady. Thought of wesring something i usually dont rock so i took out my vintage redwing irish setters. She on the otherhand wore her thorogood moc toes. Both of which are American made but the thoros really make it a point to let it be known with their USA tag on the side. Though not as deliberate, mine features something else on the solw, vibram lug soles for a true hunting experience back in the day. Of course i dont do that (though i wish i could), it gives me that sense of roughness i so desire in my lifestyle. . . @irishsetterboots @redwingshoes @redwingheritage @redwingphilippines @redwingph @thorogood_usa @uniqlophofficial @uniqlo @kaihara_denim @selvedgephilippines @selvedge_today @robindenim @clutchmagazinejapan . . #vintageclothing #vintageworkwear #vintageinspired #heritageworkwear #heritagefashion #heritagestyle #heritageboots #bootstagram #bootseason #bootaddict #workwear #workboots #workwearfashion #workwearstyle #denimfreak #denimdaily #denimdudes #denimhead #japaneseselvedge #japanesedenim #redwingheritage #redwingboots #redwingshoes #selvedgeforum #selvedgejeans #selvedge #selvedgedenim #selvedgephilippines #selvedgeclub #denimcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMJImtr3n7/?utm_medium=tumblr

I got this one through one of my contacts. Cinch back raw denim jeans baby. I got some on my artillery but couldnt get myself to use them just like that. I guess im not used to high rise raw denim. I started using mid rise a couple of months back to see how it actually fits my lifestyle and it's turning out great. Now im ready to rock these kinds of jeans. Should be rocked on future posts. . . @whoauusa @whoautaiwan @iconicsocks_official @alternative_country @gogoandhikaku @robindenim @clutchmagazinejapan @selvedgephilippines @homage_lifestyle @pabloshandcraftedgoods . . #heritagestyle #heritageboots #heritagestyle #vintageclothing #vintageworkwear #workwear #workwearfashion #workwearstyle #ruggedstyle #ruggedworkwear #handmade #handmadeboots #denimfreak #denim #denimdaily #denimdudes #denimdetails #denimhead #denimdays #stayraw #rawdenim #365daysofraw #leatherwork #leatherboots #bootsoftheday #ootd #iconicsocks #leathercraft #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #cinchjeans https://www.instagram.com/p/CO2zQ1bD2LO/?igshid=1x5tzmcc95aim

This pair of nike cheyenne OGs was given to me by my sister back in 2013. Yes you read that right, approximately 8 years ago. Suade upper, genuine leather swoosh, canvas tongue. And the sole. It's not lunarlon, but gotta give it to Nike for their comfort.

I'm a very sentimental person, and i take care of the things given to me. This particular one, well i only used it a handful of times because well, i got others in my rotation and i just cant see it become worn out over time. It means something to me, taking care of it is the least i can do.

Huge shout out to x.paras of x.paras_gentsroomph for the sick shirt i got this holiday season. One of design at a highly limited run. Can't get any better than this. What a way to welcome 2021. Still got one im ready to rock. Real tradition. Simply screams Philippines man. But for now let's just admire this wicked design concept. Heritage, street, it's all good. Paired it with my competition pair cos well, that's what im basically living in

Man, we dont see much appreciation for what defines a country these days. But this photo tells everything about my country pretty much like lechon and ginebra. This rendition of the philippine rabbit os as badass as it can possibly be. Yes kids these days might not even know about it, but we know. And that defines Philippine culture in all sense of the brand. Much love to you guys for keeping it alive. It's a legacy that will truly live on. This will go well with my selvedgedenim. @x.paras is a true denimhead who knows his herotsge as much as he knows his own selvedge. Check him out.

Ive been down for the throwback lately. Firstly because my milton palm is nesrly thrashed and secondly, i miss wearing sneakers. Comfy with ultra cush. Havent seen anyone selling the trujillo here yet. Or maybe cos I'm not looking hard enough. Anyway, got this cos yes it's an oldskool base but definitely has character on its own. Vans man. Cant go wrong with their shoes. Of course i wouldnt leve the crib without selvedge on my arsenal. Slim straight kaihara. Not my competition pair cos this one's no longer rough. Comfort to the max. AND im rocking the custom socks given to me by my lady. Perfect design for my taste.

[workwearology]

Evisu has been a favorite of mine since i could remember. The bold and daring designs are something that doesnt appeal to a lot of people, but it means i get to wear them more without bumping into someone with the same gear. As long as you choose the right ones then you won't have any problem with the general public. The last thing you want is people looking at you for wearing a 40 pocket pair of jeans.

[workwearology]

This is the legendary 877 made by redwing. The leather in oro legacy ensures ample protection for the work ahead and yet provide a solid yet comfortable boot when off the mills. Overall it's a tough and hardy boot. One that people who understand cost per wear would definitely agree upon.

[workwearology]

Some of you might have seen this design in cartoons when you were kids. Some of you may have made it somewhat comical calling it clown boots. But these boots are the reason why a country became what it is. Without these boots, minerals from the earth might not have been mined properly. Who knows how long was the set back if they weren't invented in the first place.

Sashiko weaving is the art of japanese weaving in which patches of cloth are placed on top of the damaged piece and then woven in a particular manner with a certain type of thread. The result is beauty beyond the broken. Here's an example of what a biddy of mine did with his back pocket. He joined a fade competition using a pair of the country's finest selvedge denim. A work of art from a true hardworking blue blood.

[workwearology]

Here's my pair of alternative country. They're great for their price. And the leather is definitely crazy. I've learnt time and time again to buy only the best if im going to wear them on a regular basis. And boy, are these a real tank. Considering them at the bottom of the tiers but there's no denying how good they are when it comes to look and durability.
