Edwin

Lifelong pioneer

Edwin still kept on working at his craft and in the 1970s and 80s and pioneered the first ever old wash style jeans which were designed to replicate the raw style jean after it had been traditionally worn for working due to the denims durability. Edwin then invented stone washing which revolutionised the entire denim industry. It was such a pivotal moment in the history of denim manufacture that it influenced every denim company that is around today.

In the 1990’s Edwin took the original vintage concept and created new vintage, and this involved taking the washes of old and encompassing the great look and hand replicating the archive washes pre-dating 1947. Edwin Europe was the founded in 2003 to develop exclusive products for the European market and showcase a selection of Japanese products to a new audience. The Japanese style can be seen in the graphics, iconography and lettering that is to be seen in many of their most eye-catching items today like the Edwin long sleeve t shirts and Edwin Japanese sun tee.
