Can you handle 425g of raw Japanese Denim? 🥊 The Sterkowski 100th Anniversary Jubilee Shelby is a heavyweight beast. I'm breaking down the specs of this Kuroki Denim cap and sharing my 'pro' method for breaking in stiff denim to get that perfect fit. Is this the ultimate Shelby? Let’s find out.
🚨 Jubilee series: made for the hundredth anniversary of the Sterkowski brand, with the utmost attention to detail.
🚨 Timeless Shelby newsboy cut: eight panels, a full, structured crown and a peak edged in leather.
🚨 Raw denim from Japan: from the legendary Kuroki mill in Okayama. Unwashed and unprocessed, with a character that can't be faked.
🚨 Heavyweight: the denim from which the cap is made has a weight of a full 425 g/m².
Jubilee pin: underscores the history.
🚨 Fit: a full range of precisely graded sizes, for every head shape.
🚨 Details: a printed cotton lining with a motif reaching back to the history of a hundred years ago.
🚨 Polish craftsmanship: 100 years of experience in sewing the finest-quality headwear.

👊 A Fight in the Rain
On 23 September 1926, at Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia, Gene Tunney beat Jack Dempsey by unanimous decision after ten rounds and took the world heavyweight title from him. It was a sensation - Dempsey, the "Manassa Mauler," was the idol of the era, and he was beaten by Tunney, "The Fighting Marine," a scholar-boxer who read Shakespeare between bouts. The fight took place in sheets of pouring rain. The assembled crowd of 120,000 spectators, soaked to the skin, followed the bout with bated breath all the way to the final, tenth round.
💪 Japanese Denim
Kuroki is one of those names spoken with respect in the world of denim. The company operates in Okayama, or more precisely in Kojima, a district of Kurashiki regarded as the Japanese heart of selvedge denim. It's there, on old shuttle looms, that narrow, densely woven fabrics are made - highly durable and with a distinctive, slightly uneven texture.
Kuroki's roots reach back roughly a hundred years. From the 1950s the company produced cotton fabrics for clothing and industrial uses, and by the 1970s it had focused exclusively on denim. Importantly, Kuroki is one of the few manufacturers that combine dyeing, weaving and finishing the fabric in one place. One process. One chain. Full control over the cloth.
