During the 80s, the idea of ‘vintage’ being associated with denim was not a concept.
With the invention of the projectile loom in 1983, lauded at the time as revolutionary in production speed with its capacity for making wider widths of fabric, selvedge would disappear from denim.
While Europe experimented with avant-garde and free-spirited ideas with its jeans at the time, Japan was staging its own revolution, reevaluating the essence of authentic American jeans and what made them special.
Within that revolution was the birth of DENIME, and with it, the revival of selvedge denim; all within a five year span of it almost disappearing completely.
In the same way that cotton needs rich soil to grow, Japan had the right environment to ‘grow’ selvedge denim. DENIME’s founder and author of ‘Jeans of Japan’, Mr. Yoshiyuki Hayashi spoke of his denim as such:
“We spun our yarn at Kurabo mills, which was then sent to Hiroshima and Fukuyama, home of indigo dying, and had our yarn dyed at Sakamoto denim to the perfect shade of indigo. DENIME hardened the yarn as well, starching it before weaving them together.”
With this DENIME fabricated their first denim, densely packed, hefty, and with a rough hand.
It was unmistakably difficult at the time, with many trials and errors along the way along with doubt about moving in the opposite direction of the denim industry at large.
According to Warehouse, DENIME was not trying to make one-to-one reproductions of ‘vintage’ denim.
They were aiming for a classic look, with the denim’s character revealing itself the more it was worn.

Denime Lot 302 / ” The Denime” News Paper Bag
This is the so-called "newspaper bag" that was used by American newspaper carriers from the end of the 19th century as a bag for delivery, sales, and advertising. It had a flap to protect the newspaper from the elements, and when the flap was tucked inside, the name of the newspaper printed on the side could be advertised. DENIME has updated this style based on the bag, adding not only a shoulder strap but also a pull tab so that it can be used in two ways. It can also be closed with a strap so that the contents cannot be seen. It is
made of Kurabo denim and assembled by a factory that sews workwear, with a heavy triple-stitched rolled seam.

Denime Lot 301 / Strong Denim Baseball Cap
This baseball cap is made of original denim woven with Kurabo's uneven yarn. This cap has 19 stitches on the brim, making it the most carefully made "baseball cap" in Japan. The careful work is revealed as the denim fades. The stitches, which look like garden stones, are the charm of Japanese work. The rough texture you feel every time you grab the brim is something you can't experience with other baseball caps. The origin dates back to the 1930s. At the factory that has been manufacturing baseball caps since the founding of professional baseball teams, the fabric used at the time was thick like high-end men's clothing, and there was a time when leather was sandwiched under the brim to prevent it from losing its shape, so this number of stitches was necessary to "hold it down." We ask factories that still use this manufacturing method to make our denim caps.

Denime Lot 221 (BIG E MODEL)
The "tapered'' silhouette, which is one of DENIME's silhouette, was born in the 1960s when jeans were in the spotlight as casual wear. The texture of the DENIME paper tag, the colour of the sewing thread and the buttons were all newly produced to recreate the original DENIME style when the company was founded.

cotton sheeting Ugandan cotton is characterised by its elasticity, which is grown with the blessings of the Nile River. The fiber length, which is generally called medium-long cotton to long cotton, is also characterised by its firmness due to the cultivation of fully ripened cotton.
In "DENIME", by spinning No. 14 empty yarn and knitting it using a sinker machine, we were able to create a resilient cotton sheeting fabric while retaining the original elasticity of cotton.

Denime Lot 220A (OFFSET XX MODEL)
This is a thorough reproduction of the XX model manufactured by DENIME at the time of its founding. The fabric was developed jointly with Kurabo Industries based on recipes from the time.The uneven yarn ring-spun from the same rice cotton used at the time was rope-dyed with a special colour of indigo, and finished with vegetable dyeing to create a deep texture. A certain DENIME-like color has been reproduced. In addition, by scouring the rope before dyeing it with water at room temperature, the dyed areas are dark and the center white (nakajiro) remains, resulting in a sharp warp yarn. The power loom is the old-fashioned GL3 loom, so the characteristics of uneven yarn are reflected in the denim. These jeans aim to be the pinnacle of Japanese denim, combining the originality of DENIME and the inquisitive spirit of the Warehouse.
