Lịch sử
Established in 1952 in Kojima, Okayama, the brand began as Kanemitsu Clothing before rebranding as Johnbull in 1967. It played a pivotal role in establishing Kojima as the global center for premium denim production. By integrating vintage American workwear influences with Japanese textile innovation, the company transitioned from a uniform manufacturer to a significant influence in the global heritage fashion movement and the evolution of artisanal denim.
