The Third Collaboration Focuses on Material
CANTON was born in 1963 as Japan's first domestic jeans brand and operated until 1968. In 2008, it was revived by the long-established trading company Toyoshima as "CANTON OVERALLS." It is a legendary brand that cannot be overlooked when exploring the history of Japanese denim.
The revived CANTON OVERALLS aims for contemporary basic denim that is neither a replica nor vintage, fusing vintage elements with modern functionality. All Japan-made with original patterns, sewing specifications, and parts, they captivate denim fans with their meticulous craftsmanship down to the finest details.
For the third season of the "MHL. × CANTON" collaboration, this season uses CANTON denim blended with Texas organic cotton. You can enjoy the pure indigo blue and the delicate vertical fading that develops with wear.
Available Exclusively at MHL. Shops
The new style features a clean, slim tapered silhouette that offers versatility in styling (top photo, left). The patch pockets on both sides, which appear to be a five-pocket style at first glance, and the CANTON stitching on the hip pockets add a distinctive touch.
Additionally, the Carpenter Trousers (top photo, center and right), which debuted as a new model in Fall/Winter 2013, draw inspiration from European fireman pants and continue to be offered this season.
