What to know about Denime

An Osaka Five original

Founded in 1988, Denime was one of five Osaka labels that started Japan's vintage-reproduction denim boom, reworking early Levi's cuts with mill partner Kurabo.

Built to fade fast

Its reputation rests on selvedge denim that breaks in quickly and contrasts sharply, with lots like the 221 Big E and 224-66 as the reference points.

Relaunched under Warehouse & Co.

After several ownership changes, the label sits with fellow Osaka Five house Warehouse & Co., which restarted it in 2023 as "Denime by Warehouse & Co." for its 35th anniversary.
