Looking to source Hemp/Cotton or Hemp/polyester dark Indigo denim for small UK start up.

[Oneof]

Can anyone help? Looking for Japanese denim quality or something similar to Hemp denim used by Patagonia/ MEC. ie not 'mum and dad' denim. Any help gratefully received as I have been trawling the web for a good while now. Thanks.

Does it have to be Japanese?

Try the Kurabo overseas sales office:

Hong Kong Branch

Unit 1614-15, 16th Floor, World Finance Center,

South Tower, Harbour City, Canton Road,

Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong

TEL.010-852-27302672  FAX.010-852-27309314

Bear in mind that Kurabo has notoriously long lead times.

Try also Kaihara

Mr. Ron Lau

   HONG KONG

Both Kurabo and Kaihara are Japanese companies despite the Hong Kong addresses. Kurabo makes some of it's denim in China.

Also try Itochu. (do websearch)

OK. If not limited to Japanese denim then try Legler, http://www.legler.it . A little closer to home for you than Kurabo. Based in Bergamo, Italy and with a quality selection of everything but your 3/1 twill 14oz "Mum & Dad" denims (great description by the way LOL)
