BIG JOHN – The History of the First Japanese Made Jeans The beginning of the brand takes us back to the 1940s,when the founder Kotaro Ozaki,started his sewing business, Maruo Clothing, manufacturing studentsuniforms, workwear and U.S. military-look pants. It wasn’t until the year 1965that the first domestic jeans were born in Kojima, under the Canton brandname. A fortunate contract with the Japanese Ministry of International Trade andIndustry gave Maruo Clothing the rights for manufacturing and sales in asmall area in the west of Hakone. They received 50 rolls of denim fabric fromCanton Textile Mills Inc. from the US, and in October of the same year thefirst one-wash jeans were sold. In 1967, while production of the Canton jeans was ongoing,the first Big John M1002 PROTO MODEL wasproduced using imported Cone Mills denim from the US. One year later, the M1002FIRST MODEL was released together with the M2002 boot cutmodel and the M3002 slim model. Thus, the “firstcollection” was born. In 1969 the “ROAD RUNNER” series made its first publicappearance. It was the first time that color jeans were made in Japan, thisparticular jean also featuring a new model, the M4002. Thiswas a cutting edge bell-bottom jean which took off and was widely embracedthroughout Japan. Jump ahead to 1972, and the first Japanese denim fabric was produced for thebrand when Kurabo Mill created the “KD-8.”At that time, Japanese textile mills had never officially produced denimbefore. It took them 8 tries to get it right, hence the name “KD-8”— Kurabo Denim on the 8th try. The best was still to come, and in the year 1973 the Big Johnsignature collection “M” series was released. These were thevery first Japan made jeans manufactured with the “KD-8”fabric. In 1975 World Workers, a sub-brand from Big John madea debut, this was a Work Pant line, who started in Japan the outdoor activitiesboom. At the year 1980 Big John developed the world’s first unevenyarns, marking the beginning of the vintage, repro trend we know andlove today. It was also in the 80’s that Big John reached corporativestatus, expanding their production system and appliying corporate philosophieslike “Quality Comes First.” This was the first point in which BigJohn expanded into the international market, findingstockists rapidly and widely throughout Europe and the U.S. Allsales are final and there are noreturnsaccepted, pleasecheck all the photoswith all measurements and contactme if youhave anyquestions before bidding.Shipping only to continental US,noInternationalshipping
