Denim Archive is a place for denim inspiration presented in a photographic collective submitted by a community centered around the lifestyle of denim and style.
The idea is quite simple. Find a great pair of denim that you truly love and wear it everyday. As the raw denim wears to your lifestyle, photograph it along the way.
People have already submitted a couple of pairs of their worn EDWIN’s so go ahead and get involved…

A good friend of Edwin gave us these two pairs of jeans, known only as Model 17 (Left) and Model 2 (Right). They have been worn for over 5 years now and have had a fair few washes.

22 Months Later Mar 21, 2010
The guys at Union in Newcastle know a thing or two about denim, so when we heard they had some old ED-47′s displayed in their store we wanted to see more!
Worn for 22 months before their first wash. An amazing example of how Raw Denim should be treated.

Vintage Collection | Suspender Pant Feb 24, 2010
To express the feeling of old fabric, we developed an uneven thread, which was produced under non-computer oriented production in the past. We made this to produce thick and thin parts on one twisted thread. This thread is then used for warp and weft in our vintage collection.
For that feeling of old fabric, we used the “shuttle-weaving machine” to produce 13 oz Japanese Selvage Denim. You will notice the white/red Selvage when they are rolled up. We’ve named it 日の丸 Selvage (Hinomaru Selvage) and it features the same colour combination as the Japanese National Flag.
The wash is made to look like the denim is worn out with uneven colours across the denim including the extension & contortion of around the waist that a Vintage denim provides. The denim is carefully worked by skilled craftsmen to get the desired results…

Union Special Feb 9, 2010
East London Adjustment
We visited Rudy at ‘Son Of a Stag’ on Dray Walk in East London as I needed to take a few cm’s off my new ED71’s in Japanese Red Listed Selvage.
He kindly obliged and performed a swift operation using his much sought after union machines. That is what I call good customer service.
For anyone needing amendments, I strongly recommend paying him a visit.
Happy Days!
We visited Rudy at ‘Son Of a Stag‘ on Dray Walk in East London earlier in the week as I needed to take a few cm’s off my new ED71’s in Japanese Red Listed Selvage.
He kindly obliged and performed a swift operation using his much sought after union machines. That is what I call good customer service.
For anyone needing amendments, I strongly recommend paying him a visit.
