HAVEN's Denim Drop Is Rooted in Heritage and History
Craftsmanship is at the core of all ofHAVEN's deliveries; however, it particularly shines through in the Vancouver-based outerwear outfitter's latest drop of denim goods.
Imbued with the heritage and history of Japan's denim industry – crafted on-site in the heart of the Japanese denim industry, Kojima in Okayama – HAVEN's collection of Washed Suvin Cotton Denim is a homage to the region's century of textile history and artisanal approach.
Delivering a washed version of Suvin Cotton Selvedge Denim, HAVEN's spin on Selvedge is softer to the touch and takes a breathable and comfortable fit.
Each piece starts at the hand-sanding phase, which lays the much-needed groundwork for the denim's final texture and tone; artisans abrade the fabric at its front whiskers and behind the knees, resulting in a three-dimensional 'hachinosu' or beehive effect.
Then, garments go through the scraping process – where an electric planer gently shaves away at the fabric's surface for a broken-in finish – followed by an enzyme wash to soften and subtly fade the silhouette once more.
Once the garment is dry, final hand-finished details are added to finish it off, with a refining light bleach treatment to close out the intensive process. Take a closer look at the making of the collection in the lookbook above.

Analysts assess the potential impact of Trump's surprise 50% steel tariffs
-- U.S. President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced on Friday that steel and aluminum tariffs will double to 50%. The move, set to come into effect on June 4, was unveiled during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. It was later confirmed on TruthSocial and comes amid broader debates around U.S. industrial policy and foreign investment. Analysts are now evaluating the implications of this surprise decision, with most agreeing that the immediate domestic effects may be less severe than the broader geopolitical risks. JPMorgan's Tatsuya Maruyama said the direct impact on major Japanese steelmakers such as Nippon Steel Corp (TYO:5401), JFE Holdings, Inc. (TYO:5411), and Kobe Steel, Ltd. (TYO:5406) is expected to be limited, given that 'the U.S. accounts for about 4% of Japan's steel exports.' Maruyama pointed out in a Monday note that Nippon Steel and JFE export only about 1% of their total shipments to the U.S., while Kobe Steel exports about 3%. Still, he warned that 'rising global protectionism' is a growing concern, noting that a wave of anti-dumping measures and safeguards in regions like South Korea, the EU, and India could further strain global trade dynamics. 'If such countermeasures gain momentum, Japanese steel products may also be targeted and the export environment may worsen,' Maruyama continued. Meanwhile, analysts at BMO Capital Markets believe the sudden tariff hike could jolt domestic markets. 'The doubling of import tariffs, if maintained, is likely to create a panic in the market and trigger a restocking cycle that in our view has the potential to push prices >$1,000/st in the near-term,' the analysts said. However, they believe the spike would be temporary given macro uncertainty and seasonal demand trends. The broker upgraded Nucor (NYSE:NUE) to Outperform but downgraded Algoma Central (TSX:ALC), which it called 'a relative tariff loser.' The aluminum market may be more exposed, according to BMO. The U.S. covers only about 20% of its own aluminum consumption domestically, making it more vulnerable to supply disruptions. 'If tariffs do double, this is expected to put material upside pressure on the Midwest premium (MWP),' BMO wrote, estimating it could reach '$0.75/lb-plus' in theory, although higher aluminum cost will likely weigh on demand and thus offset some upside pressure. That said, the brokerage sees Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX) as well positioned to benefit from a rise in the Midwest premium, while Alcoa (NYSE:AA) could see a negative impact of $1–2 per share, or 4–7%, due to its reliance on Canadian production. Still, BMO expects Alcoa may redirect some of its Canadian output to the EU market.

Vodafone and Three merge to become Britain's biggest mobile network
Vodafone and Three have vowed to improve Britain's patchy 5G coverage after completing their long-awaited £15bn mega-merger. The two companies said they have closed the deal to create VodafoneThree, which is now the UK's largest mobile network operator with around 27m customers. Bosses said VodafoneThree will invest £11bn over the next decade to create one of Europe's most advanced 5G networks. This includes a £1.3bn capital expenditure pledge in the first year. Margherita Della Valle, chief executive of Vodafone Group, said: 'The merger will create a new force in UK mobile, transform the country's digital infrastructure and propel the UK to the forefront of European connectivity. 'We are now eager to kick off our network build and rapidly bring customers greater coverage and superior network quality. The transaction completes the reshaping of Vodafone in Europe, and following this period of transition we are now well-positioned for growth ahead.' It comes two years after Vodafone and Three owner CK Hutchison, which is owned by the Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing, first announced plans to merge their UK operations. The deal has been held up by a lengthy regulatory process amid concerns reducing the number of UK mobile network operators from four to three would push up prices for consumers. Unions and China-sceptic MPs also raised concerns about granting Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison access to critical national infrastructure and sensitive government contracts. However, the deal passed a national security review and in December the Competition and Markets Authority gave the green light to the merger. Vodafone and Three have made a number of legally-binding commitments, including the £11bn investment pledge and guarantees around some consumer tariffs. More recently, the launch has been delayed by negotiations between Vodafone and CK Hutchison over the terms of the deal. The newly-merged company will be 51pc owned by Vodafone, while Three will hold the remaining 49pc. Vodafone has an option to buy out Three's stake after three years. It will be led by Max Taylor, current chief executive of Vodafone UK, while Three's Darren Purkis has been appointed chief financial officer. Bosses said the combined company is expected to deliver cost savings of around £700m per year, unlocking more money for network investment. VodafoneThree's net debt is expected to be £6bn and the parent companies have agreed to contribute £800m of equity to support working capital requirements. Canning Fok, deputy chairman of CK Hutchison, said: 'As we have demonstrated in other European markets, scale enables the significant investment needed to deliver the world-beating mobile networks our customers expect, and the Vodafone and Three merger provides that scale. 'In addition, this transaction unlocks significant shareholder value, returning approximately £1.3bn in net cash to the group.'

Goldman Tweaks OPEC+ Call With Outlook for Final Hike in August
(Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said it expects OPEC+ to repeat recent production increases for a fourth month for August, a change from its earlier forecast that the group would pause after last weekend's meeting. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months 'Relatively tight spot oil fundamentals, beats in hard global activity data, and seasonal summer support to oil demand' are all supportive, analysts including Daan Struyven said in a note. 'The expected demand slowdown is unlikely to be sharp enough to stop raising production when deciding on August production levels on July 6.' The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies agreed on Saturday to increase supply targets by 411,000 barrels a day for July, matching increases scheduled for May and June. The hikes marked a radical reversal from the cartel's former strategy of defending prices by curbing output. The decision likely also reflected a move toward normalizing spare capacity within OPEC+, supporting internal cohesion and putting pressure on US shale producers, Goldman said. The Wall Street giant now expects the cartel to hold supply quotas steady from September, forecasting production outside the group will increase and global economic growth will slow in the third quarter. However, risks are skewed toward further OPEC+ increases after August, the bank said. Goldman maintained its average oil price forecasts for Brent at $60 a barrel for the remainder of the year and $56 in 2026. West Texas Intermediate is seen at a $4 discount to the global benchmark for the periods.
