What Betty Smith Jeans & Museum is known for

Betty Smith runs what it calls Japan's oldest jeans factory in Kojima, the neighborhood where domestic denim production began, and still fits customers for bespoke jeans on-site. The factory grounds hold two museums, a hands-on jeans-making workshop, and a retail shop selling the house line and offcut goods from the Eco Betty project.
