What to know about DENHAM the Jeanmaker

Denim built on wash and fit

The label's core work is wash recipes and fit engineering, using denim from Japanese and Italian mills including Candiani, rather than logo-driven design.

A founder who cuts jeans

English jeanmaker Jason Denham started the brand in Amsterdam in 2008 and still runs creative direction, with the scissor logo signalling that hands-on angle.

More than a jeans line
