The Craft Behind True Vintage
In Kojima, Okayama, a small team at REMI RELIEF is redefining what “vintage” means.
From cutting to sewing, dyeing, and aging—all done in-house—they hand-engineer every detail to capture warmth, depth, and time itself.
They oxidize fabrics by hand to create subtle yellowing, fade colors without air exposure, and even built their own custom machines for the perfect worn-in look.
The result: garments that feel lived in from the first wear.
Denim and sweatshirts that carry the spirit of the past—reborn for the present.
DENIM
Whether through slow hand oxidation that adds a golden tone or non-oxidized fading that draws out a clear California blue, REMI RELIEF takes denim aging to new territory.
Two opposite methods, both equally “real.” Proof that true craftsmanship is about control, not chance.
In an age of expensive, fragile vintage, designer Yutaka Goto sought something different: authentic replicas made to be worn.
When he couldn’t find any that felt right, he created his own—RRV (REMI RELIEF VINTAGE).
True to original sizing, true to original fabric weight.
A pure, unmodernized take that feels refreshing today precisely because it refuses to chase trends.

In their Kojima factory, REMI RELIEF developed an exclusive process that slowly bonds direct dyes with oxygen—recreating years of natural wear without harsh chemicals.
Each sweatshirt is then hand-repaired by craftsmen, turning small irregularities into character.
The result is an authenticity that no machine or formula could replicate.
Soft, dense cotton that feels broken in from day one.
Faded hues and worn edges give each piece a quiet warmth—like finding a vintage sweatshirt that fits perfectly.
Durable yet soothing, this is the kind of comfort only true craftsmanship can create.
