「ヴィンテージ古着の忠実な復刻」 — “Faithful reproduction of authentic vintage clothing.” This is the principle around which brothers Kenichi and Koji Shiotani founded Warehouse & Co. in Osaka in 1995. For almost thirty years, this pursuit has guided the development of one of the most respected names in Japanese denim and vintage clothing.
For Warehouse, reproducing a vintage garment involves far more than simply copying its silhouette. Each piece is extensively researched to understand the yarn, weave, fabric density, stitching, machinery and even washing processes that gave the original garments their distinctive character.
This approach is particularly evident in the brand’s jeans and denim jackets. Warehouse develops its own selvedge denim in Japan to recreate the irregularities of historic American fabrics and the way they evolve through wear. Fits are equally carefully considered, preserving the character and proportions of the original garments while remaining natural to wear today.
Warehouse’s research extends far beyond denim. Sweatshirts, T-shirts, chinos, shirts, work jackets and military garments are developed with the same determination to understand 20th-century American clothing down to its least visible details. The company’s different lines and projects allow it to explore a wide range of periods and vintage manufacturing techniques.
Warehouse is also one of the brands associated with the celebrated Osaka Five, alongside Studio D’Artisan, Denime, Evisu and Fullcount. Together, these five labels played an essential role in the development of Japan’s vintage denim culture. Since 2019, Warehouse has also continued the story of Denime, another historic member of the group, applying its expertise in reproduction to the brand’s iconic designs.
More than an exercise in nostalgia, Warehouse & Co. seeks to understand how the great garments of the past were actually made and why they aged the way they did. It is an almost archaeological approach to clothing, used to create Made in Japan garments designed to be worn, washed and given a patina of their own.
