The Ranch Jacket Black Deadstock Selvedge Denim

EDWIN Japan has returned! First established all the way back in 1947, Tokyo-based EDWIN is without a doubt one of Japan's very first denim-focused companies, founded well before the selvedge denim scene really took off with the Osaka 5 in the 70s and 80s. Tsunemi Yonehachi was one of the very first to begin importing American selvedge denim jeans into Japan, and this is where EDWIN got its start, sparking Japan's intense love for denim. EDWIN was the very first to manufacture denim jeans in Japan in 1961, proof of the innovation, authenticity, and craftsmanship that is EDWIN's ethos. By the 1970's EDWIN had moved into innovating washed denim fabrics, having cemented the brand as an essential denim house, and are responsible for innovating industry-wide norms such as OW, one-washed raw denim, and OW, a washing technique predating stonewashing.

Edwin's Ranch Jacket is designed for a timeless aesthetic, incorporating design cues from different vintage denim jacket patterns, and featuring a unique "raw" unwashed finish that will age and develop some very rich character with time. It is meticulously constructed from a beautiful inky black deadstock Japanese selvedge denim, known and renowned for its exceptional quality and durability. This release is extra special due to the deadstock nature of this fabric - rare and vintage deadstock fabrics are often one-of-a-kind, and unable to be exactly reproduced. Being Made in Japan, this premium jacket represents the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, paired with timeless Americana styling.
