Product Insights
The Edwin Medium-Blue Aomori Jean Tapered Fit ($228 CAD) is a Japanese-made stretch denim jean in 11oz cotton-polyurethane that prioritizes comfort and shape retention, sacrificing heavyweight fades for instant wear and reusable shape after cold washes. Its uniform, fast-developing fades with softer creases are typical of lightweight stretch denim, requiring cold inside-out washing every 5-10 wears. The shade is deep medium blue (not dark-blue as sometimes described), and the 'Aomori' name refers to indigo color, not origin. Value-wise, it offers Japanese construction at a price between N&F and Momotaro.
Verified claims

- Waist and seat recover after cold wash; tapered shape stays for multiple wears.
- Denim tradeoff
- Stretch denim sacrifices heavyweight fades for instant comfort and shape retention.
- Value
- At 228 CAD, it offers Japanese construction and lightweight stretch, priced between N&F ($198) and Momotaro ($300+).
- Fade character
- Uniform, fast-developing fades with softer creases, typical of lightweight stretch denim.
- Care
- Optimal fading requires cold inside-out washing every 5-10 wears, no softener, and air drying.
- Material
- 11oz 98% cotton 2% polyurethane denim: comfortable wear with minimal bagging
- Heritage
- Japanese-made with a heritage of shuttle-loom and stonewashing innovations.
- Shade accuracy
- Shade is deep medium blue, not as dark as Dark-blue suggests.
- Fade progression
- Medium-blue wash develops high-contrast fades with wear and washing.
- Name meaning
- 'Aomori' translates to 'blue forest,' a reference to indigo color, not origin.
- Comfort
- Eliminates break-in discomfort but fades are less pronounced than heavyweight raw denim.
- Color accuracy
- Listed color (Medium-Blue) conflicts with description (Dark-blue); name means blue forest, not origin.

Great Jeans
Perfect balance of fit and comfort - not too baggy but cut well enough to give some room, even with the fact that they're "tapered"
