Edwin Japan presents a great new video, giving us a behind the scenes look at their manufacturing, showcasing what makes Edwin denim so unique and how it differs from the mass offering that one is welcomed by in today’s retailers.

Click here to view the embedded video.

“It is impossible to improve what one makes without spending the time everyday to master what one does, turning ones profession into a craft. The denim technicians at Edwin are true craftsmen, as their commitment and attention to the product is unquestionably what makes the Edwin product stand out from the mass of denim available within the market today. Whilst this remains ‘production’, the working philosophy remains closer to a greatly more efficient and productive Artisanal method.

They are ‘engineers’. Each person, over the course of a long period is encouraged to be responsible for maintaining and improving their machines. This means that each machine is self-customised beyond standard industrial purposes, to create unique and specialised ways of making denim. Even within the well-known denim brands factories around the world, you will not see the level of customised machinery and attention to product that one can see at the Edwin factories in Japan. It is for this reason, many ‘core heritage’ Japanese denim brands wish to have their products made within the Edwin Japan factories. This is the unique strength of the Edwin Jeans brand, the product itself.

The majority of the technicians at the Edwin factories and laundry’s have worked within the company since the beginning. This means they have an acute understanding for their machine. Each technician is responsible for three machines on average, all performing different elements of the production process. They remain on these machines for the duration of the careers. There is almost now rotation of staff, offering complete consistency in the making.

More background information and images follow after the jump.

Handcut leather handles and the 200 interconnected traditional joints are only a few of the outstanding details that can be found on the trunk.

In 2009 Supreme and A.P.C. collaborated on a pair of raw denim and some t-shirts. New York brand Supreme added some details to the popular denim of the French brand, including their ‘Fuck Em!’ slogan, embroidered in small on the back pocket.

HBO’s ‘How To Make It In America’ just aired their season finale, in which Crisp shows off its first pair of jeans and they seem to have been heavily inspired by that pair of Supreme x A.P.C. jeans. Placed at the exact same spot on the back pocket you will find the slogan ‘Fuckin Crisp!’ embroidered.

Denim on sneakers is something that can come out really nice, yet also something that can turn out pretty bad. In the case of the upcoming Spring 2012 Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Premium Denim Pack, things have been done right. Consisting of both low top and high top versions of the iconic sneaker, Converse applied washed out premium denim fabrics to the upper in a series of colors. That matched up with leather toe caps, leather details on the front of the sole and waxed laces, makes for a well executed premium sneaker pack, that you we look forward to. (Via FreshnGood)
