Ijin Material Denim

keith — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 05:15:28 +0000

“Ijin” is an antique Japanese word once used to define someone as an outsider, stranger, foreigner, black sheep, alien or sometimes hero.

St. Martins, London alumnus, Philip Goss is the founder and creative director of Ijin Material. Established in 2003, this original and independent artisan denim label is based in a workshop in Italy. 3 years back, Philip Goss was the Creative Director of Evisu and took the brand on to a global platform. Interestingly enough, he earned the affectionate moniker “henna ijin” or “crazy foreigner” from Evisu founder, Yamane-san.

Ijin Material‘s philosophy follows the On Ko Chi Shin principle which means to respect the past in order to create the new or examine and learn that of the past and create new knowledge, experiences and opinion thereafter. The individualism of Ijin Material is trademarked by its signature paper chain “half man” logo representing the symmetry of folding techniques in their products. By respecting traditions, the brand creates new and innovative ways and designs using top quality vintage raw Japanese selvedge denim shuttle loom fabrics, well crafted artisanal Italian “slow-denim” production and Philip Goss’ unique approach to style and modernity.

3 principal cutting techniques make Ijin Material distinct from other jeans in the market today. The Foldedge-Cut leg cuts the garment in an open legged manner and centered on the stronger warp thread. This way the legs collapse naturally around the knee when worn from dry. It becomes a personal body map where the natural aging process or seasoning happens for the denim.

The 2nd technique is the Wrapleg-Cut which cuts the cloth with a straight and folded outer leg in one piece. They have a clean finish hem & inseam and a subtle outseam. A hip dart forms the yoke and shapes across the back of the garment.

Finally, the Artisan-Cut is an homage to a long tradition of selvedge denim craftsmanship. A low tension old loom is used such as to wear it from dry and obtain an authentic imprint on the body for as long as possible. Vintage details are enhanced with extra wide selvedge or the Ijin diamond head sewn rivets or even the trademark Ijin Sixth pocket.
