Modegeschiedenis
Brandon Svarc founded the company in Montreal in 2008. It gained significance by sourcing exclusive fabrics from Japanese mills while maintaining production in Canada. The brand challenged industry norms by refusing traditional advertising and focusing on technical innovations like heavyweight 32-ounce denim. This approach contributed to the mid-2000s resurgence of raw denim culture, positioning the garment as a functional artifact rather than a disposable fashion item.
