Japan has become a hot spot for denim minds, with original denim available, while local label Big John specializes in these unfinished jeans that the wearer can mark on.
Big John’s origins are based in Kojima, Japan, dating back to 1940 when it was a factory of work clothes and uniforms. The brand began its denim business in the late 1950s, with styles becoming increasingly popular for younger consumers. By 1965, the company was able to go public as a domestically produced Jean under the Canton brand and in 1967 launched the Big John Brand. The name Big John is the name of founder Kotaro Osaki, because Kotaro is also common in Japan, as John is mainly an English-speaking country.
