Edwin was one of the first Japanese firms to make denim, and the company immediately gained a reputation for its creative approach to denim design and production. Edwin produced the world's first "old wash" denim in the 1960s, which was supposed to seem like vintage denim that had been worn and washed numerous times. This innovation helped Edwin establish itself as a denim industry leader and distinguished the brand from its competitors.
Today, Edwin continues to produce high-quality denim using traditional Japanese techniques and materials. Denim from the company is noted for its durability, comfort, and distinctive washes and finishes. Edwin has a wide selection of denim styles, ranging from classic straight-leg jeans to more current tapered and slim-fit models.
