What to know about Omoto Denim
Omoto Denim is a Japanese selvedge jeans label based in Kojima, Okayama, launched in 2025 by Hiroki Kishimoto, a fabric developer who helped build Japan Blue, with partner Keita Hinamoto. The brand pursues "ordinary" denim: a deliberately narrow range of modern loose, relaxed and tapered fits cut from proprietary 13–16oz rope-dyed, shuttle-loomed indigo fabrics, with herringbone pocket bags and a laundry-record tag. It operates a Kojima flagship store and sells through Cultizm, Redcast Heritage, Franklin & Poe and Brooklyn Clothing. Mainline jeans run roughly $290–$390.
