Remi Relief

Remi Relief is a Japanese label by Yutaka Goto, born from an obsession with 1960s surf culture and a love of vintage America. The name blends "remix" and "relief", meaning modification and omission. The brand aims for "ultimate American basics", cutting excess and putting quality over quantity.

Garments are finished at its own factory in Kojima. Fading is done with traditional direct dyes and oxygen rather than chemicals or bio-enzymes, so pieces wear in the way real vintage does. The team even built a custom washing machine to get natural "atari", the subtle marks of age. Craftsmen inspect each garment and repair any damage from processing, so every piece has its own character.
