I found this brand while whisking through the internet. I found Mizra Vintage Jeans. I thought they look really, really awesome. According to the Oxford Press English Dictionary:

MIZRA(mizura)n.
1. an ancient Japanese boy’s hairstyle in which the hair is separated into two knots and curled to fall in front of each ear. Typically worn during feudal Japan prior to reaching adulthood.

JEANS (jēnz) pl. n.
2. Jeans are trousers traditionally made from denim, but may also be made from a variety of fabrics. It is usually an informal wear :)

The designer of Mizra Jeans is a young bloke called Yoshiyuji Iwagashi, who was with Shokunin.com prior to the launch of his jeans line. This is no ordinary jeans as Yoshiyuji has background work on traditional woven kimonos and other traditional costumes, he applied his knowledge on these jeans which means, you can only expect the best weave around with this brand.

Each of Mizra Jeans are unique in its own right. Mr. Iwagashi incorporated delicate kimono pieces onto each jeans and hand painted beautiful adornments like chrysanthemum and dragons on back pockets. It is beautiful and traditionally rich. Mizra Jeans is an embodiment of Japanese culture mix with west.

And if you are in Kyoto, you can check out their flagship store and get your hands on an awesome pair of jeans. Remember, they’re are rare and you will be the ONLY one wearing it in the whole wide world.
