Kapital
In 1985, after many years of working in the denim industry, Toshikiyo Hirata formed his own company, Kapital. The name refers to Kojima, the “Denim Capital” of Japan where the brand was founded. Originally focused exclusively on denim, borrowing heritage production techniques from vintage American workwear, but has become known for its rich, innovative reinterpretations of mid-century Americana.
