Toyoshima, a textile trading company, is launching a collaboration between its denim brand "CANTON OVERALLS" and Margaret Howell's diffusion line "MHL.". Five items – blousons and trousers for men and women, and skirts – will be available from Friday, July 17th at MHL. stores nationwide.

Proposing Authentic Styles for Set-Up Wear


This collaboration introduces new items: a basic zip-up blouson and five-pocket denim trousers with a workwear aesthetic, and a knee-length A-line skirt for women. The collection proposes "authentic styles for set-up wear."

"CANTON", born in 1963 as Japan's first authentic domestically produced jeans, disappeared in '68. After nearly half a century, it has been revived. Toyoshima resurrected the brand in 2008 as the new "Canton Overalls", bringing together Japan's superior craftsmanship and tracing back to the 19th century, when the origins of jeans are said to have emerged, to create "Japanese Jeans" for a new era.

Adding Functionality and Practicality to Modern Basic Denim



Canton Overalls is highly regarded by denim enthusiasts as modern basic denim that is neither a replica nor vintage, blending vintage elements with contemporary functionality. Similarly, the "MHL. x CANTON OVERALLS" collection uses all Japan-made denim, with original patterns, stitching, specifications, and hardware, enhanced with "designs inspired by MHL.'s unique functionality and practicality." Enjoy a casual and tough denim style.
