WORKSHOP WISDOM

Hi there ,

At Hiut, we've always believed in doing one thing well.

Workshop Wisdom is our way of celebrating those who do the same.

This series is about the makers.

- The quiet masters.
- The hands that care.
- The studios where patience and skill still lead the way.

So we sent our friend Felix, to step inside those spaces.

To capture the creativity within the studio.

Kazland's world is full of scribbles, textures, and sound.

His studio is cluttered, warm, alive with unfinished thoughts and half-built beauty.

He works by feel, by instinct, often painting late into the night or sketching shapes that might wait years before they become something finished.

He's inspired us. Hope you find some words of wisdom too.

Best from the west,

David Hieatt,

Co-Founder.
P.S. Just so you know, Kazland is wearing our Japanese Selvedge Chino. New batch coming soon.

Tell us about your work.

It's been my job for 13 years now, but I think I've been doing it for maybe 17 or 18.

I was originally a full-time musician, but I got pneumonia. I couldn't tour or work for about a year.

During that time, the band separated, and I needed something to focus on to keep my mind busy. So I decided to focus on my art more, it was something I was already doing in the background but didn't have much time for.

It took about seven years to become an actual working business.

That's why I ended up living in my studio - it was the only way I could afford to live in London and be a full-time artist.

Who inspired you when you were starting your creative career?

My friend Ziggy.

He used to paint on bricks and leave them around town. I started making stickers that reacted to the brick paintings and putting them near his.

I thought maybe I'd meet this strange brick painter - and it turns out my band's drummer knew him. He lived five minutes from me. We went to the same college, and he was in the room above mine.

One night, he invited me over, and we stayed up drawing.

The next day, we painted this old screen printing screen together. I still have it. It's weird but special. It was all because of him. He doesn't really paint now - he does woodwork and screen printing and whatever he wants.

Thank you for being part of the Hiut Denim family! We are dedicated to one thing and one thing only: making jeans. That's it. Nothing else. No distractions. Nothing to steal our focus. No kidding ourselves that we can be good at everything. No trying to conquer the whole world. We just do our best to conquer our bit of it. So each day we come in and make the best jeans we know how. Use the best quality denims. Cut them with an expert eye. And then let our 'Grand Masters' behind the sewing machines do the rest.

There is a great deal of satisfaction to be gained from making something well, of such superior quality that you know it is going to stand the test of time. It makes the hard work and the obsessing over each and every detail worth all the effort. That's our reward. That's why we stick to just making jeans. Yup, we just make jeans. That's all folks.
