Evisu was one of the original Osaka 5, and Shinsaibashi is home to its flagship store. The brand was founded in 1991 when Hidehiko Yamane began hand-painting the now-iconic seagull logo onto the back pockets of raw selvedge jeans with a brush and white paint – a detail that became one of the most recognisable marks in denim history, later adopted by everyone from David Beckham to Jay-Z.
Evisu helped put Japanese selvedge back on the map at a time when most of the industry had moved on to mass production, and the Shinsaibashi store continues to carry that energy.
The range covers both men and women and spans the original Japanese-made selvedge pairs – collector-grade, heavyweight raw denim priced from around ¥35,000 to ¥62,000 – alongside more accessible internationally produced styles, plus a broader wardrobe of tops, knitwear and accessories.
Custom in-store painting is available for those who want to personalise their purchase, and the Shinsaibashi location makes this an easy add-on to a broader day out in the area.
