Numerous denim brands in Japan are competing with each other while respecting each other's creativity. Among them, one stands out above the rest.EDWINThe company is a leading manufacturer of denim products in Japan. We are sending high quality denim from our factory in Akita to the world.
It is a well-known fact that the company is rooted in Japan, but we have received news that shows even more respect for Japan.
The soft coloring of this texture. It is indigo dyeing. As far back as the Edo period (1603-1867), common people wore indigo as daily wear, such as kimonos, fireman's costumes, and samue. The word "iki," meaning "cool" and "sexy," is also used to describe the deepening of the flavor of indigo as it gets dirty and wears off.
The indigo culture that Japan has inherited since ancient times has been incorporated into the items in this series. This time, three fabrics, duck, corduroy, and moleskin, are dyed with indigo. The items are based on vintage wear, but have been reconfigured to meet the specifications of the current era.
Let's take a look at the particulars of each.
HUNTING JACKET ¥35,000+TAX
The original details remain, such as the pockets with integrated flaps and the gun patch. The collar and pocket openings are made of indigo material, creating an interesting combination of different materials.
HUNTING PANTS ¥28,000+TAX
The fabric used for the lining was originally waxed cloth, but this has been changed to a regular twill material. The waist and crotch are roomy, with a strong taper to the hem, so they can be worn with any type of shoes.
FATIGUE JACKET ¥30,000+TAX, FATIGUE PANTS ¥25,000+TAX
The jacket retains the good qualities of the original while adjusting the fit and adding slash pockets for ease of use. It is also great for putting on shirts and knits. The pants are originally made using back satin material, but in keeping with the brand, they are created in the three aforementioned indigo materials. They have a wide fit and can be worn with any top to match.
FLANNEL SHIRTS ¥20,000+TAX
In order to express the irregularity often seen in vintage shirts, this shirt is made of indigo rope-dyed yarn with a natural irregular shape mixed with fallen cotton, using an old-style spinning machine. Bias pockets and gussets on the left and right sides are also typical work shirt details.
CREWNECK KNIT ¥22,000+TAX
Made at one of the few factories in Japan capable of WHOLEGARMENT knitting of indigo yarn. The cotton-polyester blend is 3-twisted, which eliminates the stretchiness and loss of shape characteristic of cotton knitwear.
The motif is a vintage item, dyed in the old fashioned way. You may think it looks old-fashioned, but it has been updated in line with modern tastes and will surely fit into your wardrobe without any sense of discomfort.
