WASHI JEANS : When Jeans Meet Japanese Tradition & Artisans


The jeans must be one of the most beautiful invetion of humans. I hope you agree with us. So we can find in the market many many brands. But there are many ways to make a good jeans. Some friends of 5election out in the Far East pointed us to a denim brand, called Washi, which was created by a real expert in the denim making world. His name is Hiro Yoshikawa and he is the Creative Director at Washi Jeans. “All Washi jeans are made in Japan using the finest selvage fabric woven on 1960’s looms and other materials from Japan. We utilise Japanese core spun thread with a cotton outer that changes with washing and time and use renowned Union Special machines… Each jean is dry processed by specialist finishers in our laundry in Japan. These artisans can make over 20 different treatments and washes to achieve the unique finished effect of each jean” This words sounds not bad. And if you watch the this video on Vimeo  were Hiro Yoshikawa talk about Washi, you will understand the true passion and hard work on creating jeans.
