7 AMAZING Japanese Denim Brands You NEED to Know About | THELIST.

Hi, can you do a Satoshi Nakamoto history or why is it that expensive. Thanks ❤

Nice info! Recently bought a pair of selvedge raw denim from levis made&crafted. Does anyone know how it compares with uniqlo ones? (I don't think uniqlo has 100 cotton denim tho) Also how is the quality of lmc's type ii denim jacket? Thx.

OMG! What can't Japan not make better?

TCB do some of the best historical jeans!

Tanuki!!! :°(

I ordered a pair of Iron hearts from Iron heart America and it was a great experience. Before they sent me the jeans I ordered, they emailed me and had me measure and take pics of another pair of jeans I had to make sure the sizing was correct. They were very polite and easy to work with. I bought those jeans because I was curious about the product. But there customer service surprised me and turned me into a life long customer.

Slub looks bad

Never Forget RMC - Red Monkey (Yes Seriously!)

Full Count, I'd also recommend watching Weaving Shibusa if you can.

do you know anything about the red pepper brand? im in love w them but cant find any info for the life of me 🥲

Anyone knows blue blue japan or fashion d'artisan ?
What brands have the cheapest price range for japanese denim?

Tanuki is another good one for sure, Big John, Gold Strike...

Iron Heart is not really known for its slubby textures. Quite the opposite.

I have 21oz Iron Heart. It is the softest denim that I have after just 1 month usages.

As Homer Simpson would say "Mmm Iron Heart"

In the past : Denime
Now : TCB

bought some denim overalls from Graphzero in Kurashiki and they're amazing! Very cool textures and unique patterns, and made to be functional and technical with lots of useful pockets.

Momotaro 🔥🔥🔥

I'm still wearing my APC and og HL, need to dive more into Japanese denim brand but they are just so many of them😅

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Tanuki. Great cuts, great slub, how could you go wrong?

Legit list✌️

I'm curious how large these brands run. I'm female and usually can't wear Japanese women's pants (though I do have some Uniqlo cargos that are ladies' xl). I prefer an oversized fit and am tall, much taller than a Japanese woman, that's for sure.

I've wanted to get some jeans, and will prolly get a pair when visiting Japan later this year, anyone have tips on a pair that doesn't leak to much. Has always been my concern with denim.

Pherrows, The real mccoys

Resolute Denim is well worth a look - fantastic quality and classic line up of styles

😂😂😂as always Mr.Causal with the history on the💧nd gives you a stylist point of view on Denim. I’m laughing at, “But you know it’s Africa.” 🤣🤣⚰️

thanks Reggie

Red Monkey Jeans - is it a Japanese brand?

WAREHOUSE!

Wrong tagging sir on the momotaro bit. It was tagged as iron heart

Very hard to get unfortunately that’s why i cop only nudie jeans in europe great quality and more easy to get aha

Hey, dude Loved the video!! U think u cold do a list of places u cold get these in Japan?? I wold highly appreciate it :) I was able to find a store that sells Studio D’artisan in shimokitazawa from one of your older videos but I wold love to know a few others. Big fan

Which jean brand is most popular for women in Japan?

What about Edwin?

Given the amount of options why are vintage Levi's so popular?

😂they certainly do not sound like that in Zim....in Nigeria tho, they might just could

MineDenim I really liked when I was there! Regret not getting a pair but the store was great and the pieces looked really nice.

Great topic, few notes, pbj idoes tend to be far more slubby and textured then Momataro, which is why you tend to get the vertical fades on a lot of PBJ’s. I will say that Momataro does get very soft for raw denim and many people find them very comfy. Also while, Iron Heart does have a line of extremely slubby denim, most people who know them tend to know them for their denim with the more standard/normal texture. Although they are known for their insane fades.

A brand I definitely recommend, The Flat Head, everything they make is insane quality and feels different, and they have a line of denim combined with a small amount of silk which again feels very interesting.

The Strike Gold the boner denim

Ooe Yofukuten

I’m a lucky guy in that I lived in Okayama and I still go back there every year or so. Back in the 90s, it was Big John and Edwin. I’m kind of a bigger guy now, so I’ve gone with Momotaro because with Japanese denim, the size on the patch is not necessarily the same all around. Momotaro tends to be wider in the hip. I have some Kojima and Schott Japan too. I’ll be there in a couple months again I may pick up an iron heart something or other.

Gotta love the high end denim scam.

usually find my fix of denim at denim io stores, all good brands in this video but still got a soft spot of evisu in my heart from the early days. cant wait for the new store in omotesando haha

D E N I M B O I S

Got a nice slubby pair of PBJ's when I was in Japan, was pretty affordable and feels super nice and is probably going to last a long long time. They're a bit heavy so wearing in hot summers is kind of meh...

My mom recently got back from a trip to Japan. I had given her a pair of my best fitting jeans and told her to hit up Hinoya in Tokyo and to just pick up anything that best matches the jeans I gave her because she’s very terrible at attention to detail lol. So she came back, opened her luggage and handed me the beautiful plastic Hinoya bag. I pulled the jeans out slowly and the moment I saw those stripes on the back pocket, my heart just fell to the floor! MOMOTAROs?!? She was so oblivious to my reaction because she seriously didn’t know what she had just purchased. Apparently the clerk that helped her knew what to look for (I had given her a pair of Tellason jeans, a prominent American selvedge brand). These Momotaros are now my holy grail jeans and will be getting rid of all my Levi’s and BS denim in my closet! I’m from SF, so Levi’s are of abundance. And those Tellasons are still at the top of my denim wardrobe. An American selvedge brand also from SF I highly recommend that’s a little more accessible than Japanese denim.

Im laughing at the fact that price could be listed as a con for every entry on this list and maybe even japanese denim retailers in general.

That said I love it, one best aspects of me losing weight was expanding my denim options

Bought a pair of Japan Blue from Tokyo recently…wow now my favourite pair and probably the best in my life time

Special shout to kojima genes. Never put on a 21oz and felt so in my skin. Although relatively new I think they carry the standard and knowledge of the great 5 well
