As the weather shifts from crisp mornings to sunlit afternoons, this is the time to reach for pieces that feel just right—now and for the months ahead.
At Klaxon, we’ve always believed in long-lasting garments that evolve with wear. So this season, we’re highlighting eight standouts—gear that fits the moment but isn’t bound by it. From selvedge denim and loopwheel knits to vintage-printed shirts and rugged bags, these are the pieces we find ourselves reaching for again and again.
And because The Strike Gold is such a huge part of our story (and yours), we sat down with founder Mr. Hamamoto to talk inspiration, aging, and the background to what makes the perfect pair of jeans.
Let’s get into it.
1. SGT001 – The Strike Gold LOOPWHEEL T-shirt

This is a timeless piece that has earned long-standing love from its wearers. Carefully knit using a traditional Japanese loopwheel machine, the fabric is exceptionally soft, airy, and gentle against the skin—almost as if it’s woven with air itself.
Made from 14-count single yarn, the fabric is densely and slowly constructed, offering outstanding durability. It resists twisting and warping even after repeated washing, and feels incredibly comfortable from the very first wear.
On warmer days, it looks effortlessly stylish on its own—a T-shirt you can truly rely on.
2. SGT2401 – The Strike Gold Heavy Henry-neck T-shirt

The Strike Gold’s heavyweight Henley T-shirt “SGT2401” is crafted from an original jersey fabric made with No.10 single yarn, meticulously knit on vintage machines. This custom fabric offers a substantial thickness with a soft, comfortable feel. Whether worn on its own or as a layering piece, it retains its shape and gradually molds to your body over time. A timeless, high-quality henley tee that’s perfect for the season—built to last and made to be worn.

Creator Insights: A Conversation with Mr. Hamamoto of The Strike Gold

1. Where do you find inspiration for your designs?
Many of the intricate design details in each TSG item are inspired by hands-on examination of vintage originals and old archival materials. We also draw ideas from countless classic films and TV shows. While our designs are deeply rooted in the aesthetic of mid-century America from the 1940s to 1960s, we don't simply replicate vintage garments. Instead, we reimagine them through the lens of "what if TSG had existed back then?"—crafting each piece as an original creation born from that imaginative vision.
2. How does the aging process influence your denim?
The aging of denim can be broadly divided into two key characteristics: the fading of the fabric itself and the puckering that forms through stitching and wear.
Fading depends heavily on the structure of the denim fabric—its character is shaped by numerous factors such as the type of cotton, spinning method, yarn twist, dyeing technique, and weaving process.
At TSG, we develop our original denim fabric through a fully customized recipe that controls every step of production.
Puckering, on the other hand, is influenced by factors like pattern design, sewing specifications, thread thickness and irregularities, stitch pitch, and the tension balance between the upper and lower threads. Each of these elements contributes significantly to the final look and feel.
It's impossible to explain these processes in just a few words.
While making a pair of jeans may seem simple, TSG goes far beyond: we carefully match our denim fabric with specific sewing techniques for each of the dozens of sewing specifications. Through repeated testing and refinement, we aim to achieve the ideal puckering effect—creating jeans that age with unique depth and character.
3. Do you have a favorite Strike Gold product?
Every fabric we’ve developed at TSG holds a special place in our hearts—because not a single one came easy.
Some required entirely new techniques; others pushed the limits of craftsmanship. At times, the hardest part was persuading reluctant artisans to take on the challenge.
Among them all, if we had to choose the fabric we’re most proud of, it would be the one used in our “Classic Series (SG51XX).”
It may come as a surprise, but this denim has always been the conceptual core of Strike Gold’s fabric development. It’s the foundation upon which many of our other ideas were built.
As for the silhouette, the Classic Straight is, without question, our signature fit.
It’s a timeless cut—one that’s been around for generations, remains relevant today, and will continue to define denim well into the future.
