Edwin (Japan) Selvedge

[DJI]

Does Edwin of Japan (http://www.edwin.co.jp) make any selvedge jeans, particularly in a straight leg cut?

Cheers

[Konfucius]

based on the fact that 速水もこみち is modeling them.

The 505 XX may be a good option.

Is the 505xx still available? It isn't listed on the official website and I can't seem to find an image anywhere else on the net.

[sneakeraddict]

what country are you in, and what size are you anyway?

[DJI]

I'm a 29 waist in Nudie SSDS. Haven't tried Edwins before though, I live in Australia.

I will send you a PM now.. you might like these jeans I have.

please check your PM inbox in a moment.

505s change every season, rather like Levis make the 501 in a million different colours and finishes every season.

[DJI]

So only the 505xx are made of selvedge denim, or is the entire 505 range selvedge?

[sneakeraddict]

That - I honestly dont know.

I doubt Edwins entire 505 range is selvedge however.

But I did send the PM to you... lol

[kikidark]

I think some e function from edwin are selvege jeans also.

but first take a look at the jeans sneakeraddict just pm you , must to be a good pant anyway.

Will consider your offer.

I'm mainly interested in the japanese range atm however, as I am travelling to Japan in the next few weeks and I'm trying to find some Edwins that might be worth purchasing over there.

I might end up getting only premium jeans such as Samurais, Studio D'Artisans, Eternals or Somet if there isn't much of interest in this season's Edwins.

[tweeds]

it's likely that you'll find a nice pair of edwins (or like you said, some of the other brands if this season's edwins aren't quite your type) new for a good price if you're going to japan. just keep your eyes open and your wallet closed (mostly).

I'm a sucker for Edwin Jeans, though I haven't seen any slim fits??? I where my jeans slighty loose to the standards of most on this site, but in the U.S. they would say my jeans are tight;)

So only the 505xx are made of selvedge denim, or is the entire 505 range selvedge?

the entire 505 range is made of selvedge denim, however, there are currently no raw version (there is a raw 503 version however, but not selvedge, beautifull jeans though). since Edwin japan are really cheap and the washes are quite well done, i think it could still be worth it to pick up a pair anyway, the possibilities of what you can pick up in Tokyo are quite endless so you shouldn't have any problems getting a nice pair of jeans.

it sucks they don't produce those 505xx now, i've looked all year for a pair in Tokyo and didn't manage to find one...

Edwin's are awesome, though my Japanese friends kind of look down on them - they have a lot of selvage denim styles, plus they also do the Lee repros. If you're going to Tokyo, check out their store on Mejii Dori near Omotosando. And if you're there, check out the Chicago vintage store on the corner - I was finding great used selvage Edwins there for 1000 - 2000 yen, which is like $10 - 20 US. In general, thrift stores in Japan are a goldmine for good denim and there are a ton of them in Harajuku.

One last question, does anyone know the weight of the denim Edwin uses on specific cuts?

Thanks for the info everyone

[sneakeraddict]

from the jeans I own, purely guessing, I would say about 12-5 - 13 oz... (my guestimate)

there is nothing on the tags etc to say what weight they are.

[Kasper]

yeah they feel rather lightweight so it's probably something in the line of what sneakeraddict said.
