Bape's Secret Japanese Factory #bape #japanesedenim
In this first‑person video narration, the creator tours a small denim mill located just outside Kurashiki, Japan, operated by Okamoto Textile under the direction of Moriya. The mill supplies high‑end streetwear brands such as Bape and Naked & Famous, and is actively developing new denim fabrics. The narrator describes the mill’s traditional shuttle looms—40 machines running about ten hours daily that weave denim inch by inch—and mentions receiving a broken loom shuttle that would be worth over $30,000 if functional. Emphasizing the mill’s international ambitions, the speaker shares contact information for a liaison named Maria and urges respectful outreach to potential overseas clients. Finally, the creator points viewers to a Patreon link (in the bio) that contains additional Japanese supplier contacts gathered from his travels.
