Edwin, founded in Japan not long after the end of WW2, is the story of one man's passion for denim. Mr Tsunemi had to import his material from the USA, but in the early 1950s Japanese mills began to produce the cloth for the first time. Sadly, it was too expensive and too poor in quality for the demanding Mr Tsunemi, so he set to work to manufacture his own denim. The result has been a brand that is noted worldwide for jeans that blend sophisticated fits, superb craftsmanship and innovation. The first Edwin denim jeans appeared in 1961 and two years later the company launched the heaviest ringspun product ever seen.
