Takumi’s Spring 2009 Handcrafted Collection Consisting of Japanese Denim and Luxury Shirts will be showing at Project Las Vegas on August 26th.

Los Angeles, CA (WebWire) August 28, 2008 -- The Takumi men’s clothing (www.takumi-clothing.com) collection for Spring/Summer 2009 consists of an entirely updated denim line constructed from Japanese artisanal denim and luxury shirts made from the finest Japanese shirting, as well as organic clothing options.

Takumi means artisan in Japanese. All products in the Takumi’s men’s clothing (www.takumiclothing.com) collection are handcrafted in Japan in small numbers by artisans who seek perfection in details.

Takumi jeans (www.takumijeans.com) are beautifully constructed from Japanese selvage denim woven on an antique wooden shuttle loom in Okayama, Japan. The jeans are made with old machinery and sewing methods to replicate the quality of jeans made 100 years ago. New for this season, Takumi is introducing a wide range of vintage washes, some 100% organic Japanese denim and lightweight stretch denim designed for gentlemen. Takumi jeans are sold at premium denim boutiques like Blue in Green. Takumi jeans retail between $240-$330.

Takumi shirts (www.takumishirts.com) are made with hand rolled canvas collars, stunning contrast fabric on the cuffs, thick shell buttons, and rich, luxury shirting woven in Japan. The shirts are handcrafted in an artisan workshop in Mobara -- located in the Chiba prefecture of Japan. Only 500 shirts are made in each style. For Spring 09, Takumi is introducing new modern slim fit styles, ultra lightweight Japanese shirting and convertible cuffs. Takumi luxury shirts retail between $198-$225 and are sold at high-end specialty stores like Ron Robinson Fred Segal, Atrium, and Douglas Fir.

The line’s designer and founder Luis Pedroza was born in Taiwan of Japanese, Chinese and Mexican ancestry. Over the last decade, Luis has worked on many brands throughout Asia and Eastern Europe. “According to Pedroza, with this line I am fusing Japanese textile traditions with my love of European bespoke tailoring and the simple beauty of vintage American denim.” Takumi is also introducing newly designed organic clothing at Project Las Vegas.
