"Neputa jeans/genus
It is made by Warehouse for a small shop called Braverey in Hirosaki, Aomori.
There is even a dedicated page in the warehouse website for it"
 
Warehouse do make Wanderer
 
Not sure about Gardener, i always thought Gardener were Gardener but i don't have any evidence to support this theory so i'm happy to be wrong. Check out the style of the Nylon labels, that's always a dead giveaway, i'm off for a game of tennis but i'll do a bit of digging in the Garden later on, if y'all don't get around to it.

Taken from a World Mook book I have from 2005.

Gardener 1954 (Uekis) designed by Ichiro Ueki in 2005 I think.

Company could be called ‘System of Emporium’ (literal translation).

Perhaps someone with a knowledge of Japanese or a better grasp of a translation app could do a more thorough job than me!

Right i'm back :) let's get our little grey cells in gear

They're designed my a Mr. Ichiro Ueki hence the tab (whoops! maynard beat me to it)

They also make a 1937 and a 1942, i sent Flash photo's some time ago but they've disappeared

I keep seeing reference to first generation Gardeners and revival, there is also a seller on macari who claims his pair are made by Warehouse and the selvedge looks like WH selvadge

The page I posted above mentions something about a revival - that may be the 2005 part. My translate app kept changing the text though and I didn’t have the time or patience to continue with it.

There’s nothing of real consequence in the text - started out in 97 then took a break and did some collaboration with Take5 then back to this label in 2005 (more or less)

Company records show the business status was made ‘dead/abandoned’ in the first quarter of 2008

I'm just typing as i find it... :D

It looks like in 2019, they supplied the 1954xx for a (sufu style) fade contest for jeans shop Spiral in Hamamatsu

It seems to me the original company folded and (I’m guessing) restarted in collaboration with this Spiral store?

Regarding 1997 Gardeners, i keep seeing Evisu/Evi's referenced...

Alrighty...that's my Sunday researching done, i'm going to shampoo my rug :blush:

Euphemism?

Sure some of you eager researchers will have found this blog - this picture was taken from the Spiral launch, presumably at the store. I wonder if the dude holding them is Mr Ueki.
