Approaching a fellow denim-wearer in hopes of striking up friendly conversation may pose a challenge for some. For fear of sounding awkward, creepy or even crass, opportunities to bond with the greater denim community are most likely missed more often than not. Kapital seeks to change these encounters by surpassing language barriers with their new Denim Friend Book.

In this read, you will find a list of simple yet clever indigo icebreakers geared towards all types of denim enthusiasts. This way, you can make the first move and watch your new friendship blossom with a central appreciation of jeans. The best part is all of these lines are also translated in Japanese, so when you are asking for directions to the nearest Kapital retailer on your vacation overseas you can prove you’re serious with a nice one liner.

Available for $9 at Unionmade and be sure to check out our Japanese for Denimheads guide.
