Unisex Denim for Men and Women
"MHL." consistently enhances its range of items each season, with a theme of "designs inspired by function and practicality." The brand is characterized by a wardrobe composed of casual, tough pieces that leverage the inherent qualities of their materials, featuring contemporary cuts and balanced proportions, all expressed in a unisex manner with washability as a key concept. The designs are inspired by European workwear and uniforms, presented in a variety of colors and materials.
The Spring/Summer 2013 collection is distinguished by its "unusual" color combinations, adding Safety Orange (a vivid orange used in rescue operations) and Fern (a deep, light green found in ferns) to simple colors, creating accent colors with a faded finish characteristic of MHL. Furthermore, a rich lineup of MHL.'s basic colors such as navy and natural is available. For women, Washed Red and Red Wood are key colors.

Men's/Women's ¥22,050
This "MHL.×CANTON" collaboration denim was born from a joint effort at CANTON's special factory, which upholds the principle of creating the finest jeans that can only be produced by Japanese people, in Japan. It is an original Japanese-made denim inspired by 1920s-30s workwear, featuring a loose silhouette that tapers towards the hem and is characterized by the absence of a back yoke (the section below the waistband at the back of jeans).
