When we wanted to clarify with him the reason for focusing on distressed denim\u00c2\u00a0 while most Japanese brands tend to be oriented towards raw denim, he said:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I like jeans because i think jeans is an industrial product just like TV, iPod etc ,but at the same time, jeans are more like creatures ,because they change…depending on the shape of the person who wears etc…i like the distressing process, and this is why i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m making distress jeans, but i would say it’s an aging jeans jeans in which you can feel the background. And our customers are quite comfortable in distressed jeans. \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..All our jeans are hand made, we use small machines too, but work with\u00c2\u00a0 hands too. For the sewing process, we use vintage sewing machines too \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Union Special machines.\u00c2\u00a0 And the distressing is done by hands and not large laundries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
