Edwin since 1947: Japanese denim in our selection

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which men's Edwin jeans are available in the catalogue?
Models come in various fits: Regular Tapered Japan in Rinsed, Dark Used Blue, and Deep Dark Used; Regular Straight Japan in Unwashed and Dark Used Blue; and Loose Fit Japan Rinsed. All feature 'Japan' in the name.
What is the difference between Rinsed, Unwashed, and Dark Used?
They are different finishes for denim. Unwashed arrives straight from dyeing and molds over time with wear. Rinsed undergoes a light wash for a solid, uniform color. Dark Used is a dark blue with a pre-worn look. Choose Unwashed to shape the jeans' character over time, or the others for a ready-to-wear finish.
Regular Tapered or Regular Straight: which to choose?
Both are Regular fit; the difference lies in the leg shape. The Tapered narrows toward the ankle to showcase footwear, while the Straight remains uniform down to the hem, covering more of the shoe.
Which Edwin T-shirts are available in the catalogue?
Available T-shirts include the T-shirt Japan Black, in black, and the long-sleeved L/S T-shirt Japan White, in white.
Does Edwin only make jeans?
No. The catalogue also includes knitwear, jackets, T-shirts, trousers, shirts, and sweatshirts, alongside denim. However, denim remains the brand's cornerstone in our selection.
