Black Bear Brand Japan... Autumn 2025!

Smoke, Steel, and Denim

Josh Sirlin in Oita, Kyushu, Japan... ghosts circling like smoke, paper walls flickering in temple light, the glint of a samurai sword catching the past. Scenes shift from quiet tradition to wild freedom.. Josh on his vintage Harley riding through the countryside, wearing the resurrected Black Bear Brand x TCB Jeans overalls. The video blends history and modern craft: Japan’s sacred temples, matcha ceremonies, tattoo studios, and denim workshops in Okayama. Every frame captures the collision of art, discipline, and madness—samurai spirit meeting American grit. A tribute to craftsmanship, adventure, and the rebirth of a legend.
