Nudie Clothing

Maybe they think they're extending the tradition of the great "Nudie" Cohen, the tailor to the C&W stars throughout the '50s and '60s, the guy whose flamboyant suits for performers pretty much defined star-style in Nashville and Bakersfield.

Although the surfboard in the window sort of puts paid to that theory. I knew Nudie some; he drove a car studded with silver dollars, had six-guns for door handles, and a gigantic set of cow-horns on the front. That was his preferred means of travel.

Being Japan it's perfectly possible the owner chose the name as a hommage to the guy (sounds like an interesting character) without any particular relation to the line of stock. I've been caught out a couple of times with names which sound silly but actually have a perfectly good reason behind themm

Or it could just be a silly name chosen at random...

Sorry, that's Nudie Cohn:
