Kotosen Co is a family owned facility run by Watanabe San, located in Kurashiki - Japan's Denim Valley. This is where the woven and dyed fabric undergoes a series of treatments to give the fabric its final characteristic, including processes like sanforization for stabilization, controlled burning of excess fibers and lastly, stringent quality controls. Every centimeter of fabric is checked for irregularities and controlled for shrinkage and stability.
