Omoto Denim

A fresh arrival out of Kojima to most eyes, Omoto Denim is actually well over 30 years in the making. How is that possible for a brand that just launched last year, one may ask? The answer lies in the founder of this newcomer brand to the scene, Hiroki Kishimoto. A seasoned veteran in all things denim twill, Kishimoto-san started his career out all the way back in 1992 at the Collect Mill in Kojima, Okayama as a sales agent for the company. Over time, his experience at Collect led him to develop proprietary denim twill for some of the most coveted labels coming out of the Land of the Rising Sun since the 90s, including A Bathing Ape’s Made in Japan Selvedge denim series to name one example.
