ประวัติ
Founded in 2022 by Yutaka Fujihara, the director of the vintage store BerBerJin, New Manual emerged from a deep expertise in archival American workwear. Fujihara utilized his extensive knowledge of denim history to create garments that bridge the gap between collector-grade vintage and modern production. The brand holds significance in the Japanese heritage fashion scene by documenting and replicating specific historical fading patterns and construction techniques previously found only in rare museum-quality pieces.
