Niuhans, the somewhat mysterious Tokyo-based clothier, has been producing beautifully refined everyday items since 2010. As one of the label's few North American stockists, Neighbour recently sat down with designer Daisuke Hamada to discuss the origins and philosophies behind the brand for their latest online feature.

Words

The search for the perfect denim jacket is a fickle one and not entirely realistic with so many varieties available. There are those that choose vintage or the traditional recreation route, favouring chore coats or early Levi’s models, but this option from the Japanese brand, Niuhans, echoes 20th century designs, while retaining a contemporary feel with its light wash and basic simplicity.
