Okayama, the birthplace of domestic jeans, is the world's largest producer of domestic denim.
Okayama Prefecture, where cotton textiles flourished during the Edo period, still has an active textile industry.
In particular, the Kojima district of Kurashiki City is known as the ``birthplace of domestically produced jeans'' because the first jeans in Japan were born in 1960, and is famous as the sacred place for jeans.
In addition, Ibara City once produced about 70% of domestically produced jeans, and the high-quality denim fabric produced there is still used in high-end jeans in Europe and the United States.
The denim and jeans produced mainly in these two cities are famous around the world as a major production area that attracts attention both domestically and internationally.
Raw cotton, thread, dyeing, weaving, sewing, processing... Jeans with a focus on everything
The Kojima district of Kurashiki City and Ibara City are characterized by a concentration of various industries related to jeans manufacturing, from dyeing to weaving, sewing, and washing. Okayama's jeans are produced consistently locally, with a unique manufacturing method that cannot be imitated anywhere else, which is why Okayama's jeans are highly acclaimed around the world as high-value-added jeans.
For example, Japan Blue Co., Ltd. , which sells products both domestically and internationally, produces jeans that are made using Kojima's traditional techniques. Our signature product, ``Momotaro Jeans,'' is a masterpiece made from the world's highest quality Zimbabwean cotton, carefully woven using an ``old-fashioned power loom'' designed specifically for thick fabrics.
Each piece of heavy ounce denim is sewn by a single craftsman, and we are proud of its comfort and durability. While maintaining the white core, the pure blue dyed only with indigo is attractive, and the more you wear it, the more you wear it, the more you wear it, the more you wear it, the more you wear it, the more you wear it, the more you wear it, the more you wear it.
