The new wave of barbershop
“Barbering isn’t just a job. It’s an art form, a culture, and a
lifestyle. In this episode of Thrash Lab’s Subculture Club, we take a
look at three unique barbershops around Los Angeles and discover why
making dudes look their best is their number one priority. “If you look
good, you feel good.” -
Barbershops are one of the last bastions of manliness today. What other place can you get a sharp haircut and good conversation with a bunch of men? We don’t want you to miss out the manliness distinctive sense you have from of the place. Have never experience one before? Read this.
We brought you a short documentary about the thriving community of new wave barbershops in the Los Angeles area.
Featuring Vince Garcia, owner of Capsule Barbershop, Mohawk Matt of Bolt Barbers in downtown Los Angeles and Vinnie Morey and Trent Magnano of The Proper Barbershop. Directed by Ryan Ovadia, the video is the latest in a series by Thrash Lab called Subculture Club. Know the name. These series are awesome. We’ve become a fan of them already. You might find yourself unconsciously subscribe to it later.
Enough for us and back to the video, unfortunately, many men today are missing out on the benefits of having a regular barber. As the barbershop tradition has faded, modern men just end up going to the closest unisex salon to get their hair cut. But you will know you are missing out if you watch this. Click here.

Future Treasure: Sunrise Japan - Indigo & Mud Dyed Jeans
Meet the legendary piece from SRJ here
Nuts but true. While we were hanging out to our favorite spot last week,
we overheard a conversation, and it got us interested. Two men were
holding a quaint pair of jeans a table away, one of them kept flipping
up the pair showing off the inseam and construction. Seriously, it’s the
Sunrise Japan’s. Not a simple pair to find.
Now, it’s no secret that Japanese raw denim is everywhere but for SRJ is different -- and stands out. Frankly, we have yet to see a pair of SRJ jeans that disappoint.
Like this pair of jeans from the two fellows we met. The pair is said to be mud-dyed. Then what is the mud-dyed? We have not yet seen a pair with the term before. (That was why we brought you this.) We mean, according to the history, “mud dyeing is an ancient method to achieve black before the global trade in Logwood in the 1600s and the use of sulphur dyes a couple of –hundred- years later.” (ask the Kiwi, they can confirm that since the the black flax used by Maori's for their traditional costume was made by mud dyeing too.) So these jeans might be one of the children from the Ryukyu areas of the south of Japan where the tradition is preserved. This is remarkable.
Then where on the process did they do the mud-dyeing? The jeans were started off by being sewn together as untreated and undyed denim (virgin than any other raw denim?), and were then hand-craftily dipped in indigo vats and special mud baths before being rinsed and hung dry in the sun. That is how it goes. Because the process was done entirely by hand, each pair of jeans achieves a unique finish. Couldn’t this be simple? Never.
