How Japanese Denim Is Made | MR PORTER

Kurashiki, a historic city in Japan’s Okayama Prefecture, on the lip of the Inland Sea, is about as far as you can get from the American Wild West. For the uninitiated, then, it would seem an unlikely place for MR PORTER’s in-house brand Mr P. to turn to in search of that most American article of clothing: a pair of jeans. But that’s exactly what we did. Watch this short film to find out why.

Another top quality video made by Mr.P

[@TheNunakun]

Japan - doing things right at the highest quality, yet again, whilst maintaining tradition. :)

[@juliaronin2667]

Omg, it is such a nice movie about jeans. Watching about jeans is good but in this movie it was also great to see the machines and people working there. Also that super-professional man who was manually cutting out the pockets! It is such a responsibility! And the women suing. Amazing movie, thank you.

[@WeBeatYou]

Somehow Japanese have managed to take a piece of Americana and make it better.

[@nickc5563]

Check out Ametora book

[@alijoyce2169]

I was going to make the same comment. Japanese guys take an idea and make it better by working on details and stuff. It is kind of weird actually...

[@gothamtate5926]

1080p Dude they kept the standard. Bought the machines from the US, when the US was outsourcing the production to Asia

Great to see that handmade products still have a strong audience.

[@ajlevin44]

This was awesome. Very few things earn my respect more than pride in one's work and a high attention to detail.

[@drunacres]

I have a couple of order made pairs from Betty Jean - and can say they are simply the best I have ever seen and certainly ever worn. Watching this film gives me even more appreciation for what has gone into the making of them - and makes me want to go and get a few more pairs.

[@abrightp]

The soul of a pair of jeans dies when you artifitiallly wash them.

[@AK-gt6om]

Wonderful video. Now I hope one day you will show that Japanese craftsmanship isn't just about denim or military inspired brands like Orslow etc. But much much more diverse and that this level of excellence the Japanese execute on many fashion styles, thank to their curiosity and geek-style dedication. More diversity please :)

Japan was making denim pants long before 1945. Okayama started making denim jeans in 1945 because they stopped making Imperial Army and Navy uniforms.
