We’ve just received another shipment of Edoya horsehair (uma) and bronze suede brushes.
In this day of mass production and automation, when a company perseveres in tradition and quality, it truly is a breath of fresh air.
Founded in 1718 during Japan’s Edo Period, Edoya started as a hand made paint brush manufacturer in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. Almost 300 years later, Edoya continues to methodically produce 100% hand made brushes to a civilization dependent on efficiency and mass production.
There are no machines in their workshop, only weathered hands with years of experience. Each brush is hand planted and hand cut with precision, calculating the length and amount of bristles, the same way it was done decades ago. It is this attention to detail and quality that maintains value, even when cheap alternatives are abundant.

It’s 2013 but that doesn’t mean 2012 is out of style. We’ve just received another restock of the John Lobb St. Crepin 2012 chukka boots, one of the most elegant chukkas we’ve ever seen.
The minimalistic design is timeless and elegant. This boot will work very well with the most handsome suit all the way down to a pair of slim jeans.
Available in black or dark brown misty calf.

12th Avenue Grill in Kaimuki is a well known hidden gem, if that makes any sense. It’s a true “neighborhood restaurant” that serves good tasting food, focusing on local ingredients and big flavors.
Mike, the manager/mixologist, is the true star of the restaurant in my opinion. Although the food is great, Mike’s cocktails are true bliss. Tell him Tom from Leather Soul sent you.
Tom’s Tip: Ask Mike for the “Benson.” It’s a secret drink named after a friend of mine.

The Philip II continues to be our most popular John Lobb model. It is as classic as can be. To give it a little swagger, we decided to try it in deep blue misty calfskin. It’s a subtle alternative to black.
