JAPANESE RAW SELVEDGE DENIM HISTORY: THE NEW OSAKA 5!

Japanese Raw Selvedge Denim has had a long, long foothold in the menswear and mens fashion scene, and has completely changed the way menswear is viewed to this day. Japan has a long rooted passion for heritage American style, having morphed it into a brainchild of their own, and completely changed the scope of what is possible within the raw selvedge denim world!

Raw denim was taken under Japan's wing and has been tried, tested, experimented on, and perfected over time, which is why Japans knowledge on raw denim jeans and raw selvedge denim has grown to incredible heights! We are seeing raw denim jeans unlike anything we have ever seen before, and boy are they absolutely amazing!

This whole craze began with the Osaka 5, where the brands Studio D'Artisan, Denime, Fullcount, Evisu, and Warehouse & Co. all began making attempts at elevating and perfecting the raw denim jean in the 1980's and so forth. But today, I wanted to talk about what I feel is the new Osaka 5, of which I dub the Okayama 7.

These Okayama 7 consists of the brands Samurai Japan, Momotaro, TCB Jeans, Kapital, Pure Blue Japan, Tanuki, and ONI. These brands are doing AMAZING things for raw selvedge denim, and deserve their own light in the grand scheme of raw selvedge denim and raw denim jeans.

Disclaimer: Samurai Japan WAS in fact rooted in Osaka and now manufactures in Okayama.
