Manufacturing Japanese Denim the Traditional Way

We had the opportunity to visit a traditional Japanese denim maker in Kojima, Japan. Canek made a pair of Jeans from start to finish in his garage.

You vibe well with them. An adult conversation between a certified craftsman and a well informed interviewer. Its nice to see adults teaching, learning and sharing without juvenile stunts for clout and to cover up ignorance. Keep up the good work.

[@DorothyWayneright5]

When it comes to products made in Japan, the vast majority of the times you can't go wrong with it. There's always so much passion and hardwork put into their craft

[@AshAhms]

Bro you are comfortably removed from the parasitic world of fashion yet honing in on what it's ultimately all about, exposing trade secrets and educating us all on the actual worth of clothes. New fav KZbinr fr keep at it!

[@samsun01]

Watching a few "architecture" videos doesn't make you "informed" about architecture, son. Likewise with "fashion" videos. Your ignorance of fashion really is so evident, parrotting the "parasitic" nature of fashion, which really no one worth a graint of salt in fashion gives a shit about, but here we have this clown parrot out this propaganda virtue signaling shit on fashion, which is just one of thousands of "parasitic" nature of industries, son.

I’ve been looking into buying my first pair of Japanese denim and after seeing this man’s process there’s no one else I’d pick my first pair up from now I can’t wait

[@wlasry]

Amazing let me know how you like them!!

[@kongengorm3360]

Tanuki has really nice fabrics and cuts as well. Momos be great too though. @@aircommandslipperz

[@Seaa923]

How much did it cost?

[@AtkinsAtelier]

​@@Seaa923they run around 300$ give or take. I want some but man Id like to see what I look like in each style. These seem to have a more American Grease era look with rolled up legs, a more boxy straight look, im very tall and skinny but normally dont like that straight look. But man i love the indigo color.

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

would love more about japan's printed works, such as those flags or other dyed products. I'm searching for japanese manufactors for scaves and totes. Thanks so much for this inside video

[@fahdnabraoui2821]

beautiful video, almost shed a tear

[@kompanyx]

Another great video. Again, I appreciate the mutual respect for the craft and culture. It's a bit sad to hear that the new generation is not picking up the tradition of craftsmanship. It's a shame that this type of craft (along with other trades) is not taught here in the USA.

[@lilro4738]

Youre content is incredible man, i feel like the quality of information you give is priceless. appreciate you greatly

[@mel_issa__]

This video is such a gift for a home sewer like myself with a special love for denim. Would you review the LR3 brand? They are from Spain and Don work with seasons. Instead they add pieces slowly to their collection. Everything is made to order.

[@serourbrothers]

Great video. Really shows how passionate you are about it. We’re here for it ❤

[@0scarHam]

Such an interesting craft. Amazing video Will!

[@ankitmadan]

What a lovely video! This is the kind of craftsmanship I seek. Hope to own a pair from El Canek soon

[@peterjerome6446]

can you make more video with Superline Wholesale? or can you make the same kind the video you did with superline wholesale please? you did a wonderful job in that video 💯💥🙏

[@randomdudefpv4927]

Great content, but background music is bit too loud for me.

[@Mazza666]

The Japanese are the best, cars, tools, gaming, electronics. And now I'm learning they are also among the best with clothing

[@iuriiarcan157]

Слава Настоящим Мастерам!!

[@Stickybutton]

Is there an El Canek boutique in Osaka?

[@channul4887]

2:09 "I can't tell you about the details" now compare this to what's going on further down south.

[@Vjekoslav-vf3hr]

❤

[@alphadream953]

mann i love this inside look, japanese brands man, they could rule the world if they didnt only focus on the domestic market

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Any guy's fascination with clothes fascinates me.

[@micahshaljean7018]

ID on the hat you are wearing? Great content as always 🫵🏼

[@wlasry]

Kapital!

[@phuongnguyen-qw6gl]

[@user-hm6nd8rk2d]

[@dannyskippy]

what're those pants you've got on in this video? they look insane

[@wlasry]

Kapital Century Denim!

[@daniel79tj]

Did he take the name from el luchador?

[@vandean]

id on the jacket? thanks

[@wlasry]

Its a vintage Japanese bomber!

[@vandean]

@@wlasry is it custom? also great content, definately quality videos on the recent uploads! keep it up

[@bnooper]

emm? wasn't denim developed in France first?

[@wlasry]

Yes I was referring to Japanese denim specifically

[@kongengorm3360]

12 ounces is at most a midweight denim. Realistically a low weight. So calling it very rigid due to weight is a bit of misinformation. Sometimes the unwashed denim still has starch in it from the dying that will have a stiffening effect on the fabric. Independent of its weight.

[@wlasry]

Not about the weight. My remark is because its traditionally indigo dyed and 32-dip. Makes the fabric very rigid.

[@FesteringRatSub]

Very cool video, its like finding and old samurai

[@lavidaestragica]

HE IS GOD.

[@NostalgiaforInfinity]

00:48 What kind of rock has he been living his entire life that he never owned a pair of jeans until now? Even the poorest countries in the world have people wearing jeans.

[@daniel79tj]

certain cultures dont or didn't wear jeans, , it was also seen badly if you wore them over your 20s. Its not about being poor as jeans are pretty much blue collar/rural workers clothes , so the opposite actually happened in some of those urban settings where suits, khakis, chinos was the big boys clothing.

[@lorry222]

You’re awesome bro, amazing video! I see you’ve a lot love for fashion, I really love that to see 💙🧵🪡
