Big John's CEO on Diverging Denim Trends and Circular Concepts
Japan has become a hotspot for denim heads to get their hands on raw denim, and local label Big John specializes in these unfinished jeans that wearers can put their mark on. Based in Kojima, Japan, Big John's origins date to 1940 when it was a cut-and-sew factory for workwear and uniforms. The brand kicked off its denim business in the late '50s, serving up the style that was increasingly popular with young consumers. By 1965, the company was able to go to market with a domestically made jean under the Canton brand, and it introduced the Big John brand in 1967. The name Big John is a play on founder Kotaro Osaki's name, since Kotaro is a similarly common in Japan as John is in predominantly English-speaking countries.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. If the sun is giving up by 4:30 p.m., so am I. 1. An ultra-plush ribbed comforter set that should be in the dictionary as the actual definition of cozy. Target 2. A comforter set made with a satin-y TENCEL™ fabric loved by both hot and cold sleepers to keep everyone happy! Target Set includes a comforter and two pillow shams. Promising review:"This is a great comforter. My husband and I are hot sleepers and usually cannot use a comforter, we bought this one hoping the fabric would be cooler. This is the first comforter we have ever used that doesn't make us hot or sweat and still keeps us warm. Very happy with it. The look and quality are nice, fits our king bed good." — Nicole 3. A seven-piece faux-silk comforter set that'll make your room look so pulled together, visitors will never guess that you hit snooze way too many times this and every morning. Target Set includes a comforter, three decorative pillows, two shams, and a bed skirt. Promising review:"I was a little concerned if I would like a pinch pleated comforter, but I am very happy with my Laurel comforter choice. I purchased it in taupe and the look is just what I was going for. It appears to be well made and of good quality." — Gail 4. A sleek velvet comforter if you prefer the finer things in life, even while snoozing away. This luxe bedding is machine washable, so really, it's the best of both worlds. Target Set includes a comforter and two shams. Promising review:"I honestly wish they had more colors of this! I have the pink/mauve color, which is definitely a cool toned pink almost lavender color. It's gorgeous but doesn't really match the colors I'm wanting to have in my bedroom, but I love the comforter so much I might make it work. I've been using this comforter for two years now, washed it several times and it's still like new. My cat has even gotten sick on it and it cleaned perfectly. It keeps me warm but not hot and is fluffy enough and large enough to cover my bed. I love how soft this is and might have to get another as a back up incase they stop making them." — Jennak 5. A queen-sized comforter set with a textured arabesque design and hypoallergenic fill, so you can finally get both the shabby chic design you crave and the good night's sleep you deserve. Target 6. A unique comforter set with a fun metallic geometric pattern that just makes me want to crawl under the covers for another midday nap. Target Set includes comforter, two shams (one sham in twin/twin XL), one square, and one oblong decorative pillow. Promising review:"I don't often write reviews, but this bedding deserves it! (My pictures don't do the coziness justice!) My grey twin set lasted me all through college. It's soft, well made, durable, and so cute! It's the kind of cozy that makes you look forward to climbing into bed every night. This set also washes well- mine has been through countless wash cycles and shows little sign of use. I have loved this set so much and am buying a bigger size for my new bed!" — BG 7. A unique honeycomb velvet comforter to seriously wow your overnight guests (who might never want to leave)! Target Set includes one quilt and two shams (one in twin size). Promising review:"This is a gorgeous, soft, and comfy quilt. I had been looking for an emerald comforter for the last year but couldn't find any I liked. This line has an assortment of beautiful colors and the honeycomb texture just elevates it. I accidentally bought Teal accidentally (meant to grab Emerald) and ended up loving it! Teal obviously leans more blue-green, so less of a forest green as the Emerald, but still beautiful." — TMel 8. A reversible faux-shearling comforter that'll make you feel like you're cuddling with sheep instead of counting them as you drift off to slumber. Target Promising review:" I love how warm this comforter is. I was concerned when it first arrived just because of how thin it was compared to other comforters but this is honestly better than most comforters!!" — JR176 9. A comforter set with a tie-dye design to inspire some deeply artistic dreams. Target Set includes comforter, two pillow shams, and a square faux-fur decorative pillow. Promising review:"This was a Christmas gift for my 9-year-old and she loved it! It's fluffs up nicely and has been been through a wash/dry and held up well. Definitely recommend!" — KNB0063 10. A plush faux-fur comforter set which might just make you feel like you're sleeping on a soft polar bear. Target Set includes comforter and two pillow shams. Machine washable but air drying is recommended. Promising review:"It is beautiful! Light but warm! After washed and air dried it looks brand new. Ordering one for my daughter and daughter in law. (I am extremely picky). Worth every penny!!" — Debbie 11. An adorable children's comforter set with a rainbow design that would have been the bed set of my dreams as a kid (or, um, now). Target Set includes a comforter and a pillow sham. Promising review: "This comforter set is perfect! It is so soft and well made. It is thicker like a comforter but light weight, perfect for my toddler. Great quality. I love that I can purchase other pillowfort items and all of the color tones will work together as a perfect palette. Would definitely recommend and purchase again." — Jess 12. A shaggy faux-fur comforter in an ombre design or solid colors to keep you cozy on even the coldest nights. Target Set includes a comforter and two matching shams. Promising review:"I ordered this and was surprised on how soft and warm it was. My cat loves it more than I do. 🥲 I plan on purchasing it in other colors. For people saying it didn't remain soft after washing, try using softener and letting it air dry instead of stuffing it into a dryer. That's what I did and mine is still fluffy and soft after months." — Tina Marie Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king, two- and three-piece sets, and 10 colors) 13. A reversible flannel comforter set because its plaid pattern is an upgraded version of the classic, well-loved family heirloom quilt. The material is the perfect middleweight, so it's not too hot or too chilly to use all year-round. Target Set includes a comforter and two pillow shams. Promising review: "The linen side is a solid with an outdoorsy stitched dark grey-blue color and the super soft flannel side is the same color with alternating white squares. We bought two twin-size comforters and they're the perfect weight and go surprisingly beautifully with our soft mint green walls. Luckily we bought them on sale but they're certainly worth full price, or more. Such great quality, we expect to use them for a long time." — Charlie 14. A luxurious microfiber comforter with down alternative fill (in 21 different colors!) that'll have you sleeping on cloud nine. Target Set includes a comforter and two shams. Promising review: "This is the perfect simple comforter for cool New England nights. Nothing flashy or patterned which is what I wanted. I loved the one I bought for my son so much that our whole family has on each of our beds." — ECOV 15. A floral comforter set to remind you that spring will be here soon, even in the middle of winter. Target The king size set includes a comforter, two pillow shams, bed skirt, and three decorative pillows. Promising review: "I fell in love with the online pictures of this comforter set and coordinated my bedroom colors to match it. After painting and new curtains I was worried about the comforter set that came squished in a small box. We took it out and snapped everything (fluffed) as directed. It still wasn't as poofy as I was expecting and was concerned it wouldn't be warm enough. It turned out to be just the right weight. The set looks so pretty all together and the fact that it's cotton makes it look that much nicer." — Austinsgranny 16. A classic bed-in-a-bag complete comforter set with a simple, clean look and ultra-soft feel that will keep you comfortable all night long. Target Set includes a comforter, a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and four pillowcases. Promising review: "The bedding looks great. I am a cold natured person so it keeps me very warm. When it's warm in the house, I'm not uncomfortable because the comforter is not overly thick, so I'm still able to breathe. I love it!!" — Merci Li 17. A reversible faux-shearling comforter set that might just be the softest thing you've ever purchased. Choose bright or neutral colors to match any style while staying comfy. Target Set includes a comforter and two pillowcases. Promising review:"Great quality. All of my bedding is purchased from Target for this reason. This is my daughter's bed. She picked this one out online. Soft and cozy and easy to wash and dry." — Supertrendy6 18. A plush corduroy comforter in rich, dark colors to make your bed the cozy destination you'll be thinking about all day. Target Set includes a comforter and two shams. Promising review: "Love, Love, Love this comforter!! It's the softest, most comfiest one I've ever had. It appears thin, but it keeps you sooo warm at night. We have to turn the heat down, 'cause we're so warm. We have a dog that likes to burrow under the covers, but even she gets a little warm. So soft to the touch, and not to mention the price was great. You can't find comforters like this anywhere for the price we paid. We have dark furniture in our room and opted for the brown color. It makes everything in our bedroom look rich. Also, the king size is perfect for our king bed; as it sufficiently hangs over on all sides. I will miss this when the weather changes to hot!" — b 19. A comforter set which comes in pintuck, seersucker, pom pom, or tufted designs to match the exact style you're going for. Target Set includes a comforter and two pillow shams. Promising review:"This comforter is soft and comfy!!! I love it! It's not too heavy for the summer either!" — Joy 20. A cheerful, bright comforter set for bringing a little color to your gray winter days and freezing long nights. Target Set includes a comforter and pillow sham. Promising review: "I love this comforter set for my daughter. We get compliments on it all the time. It's the perfect weight—not too heavy or too light. Also really easy to coordinate with other decor due to the colors in it. Really happy with this purchase. She loves it and I love it too!!" — rmb000 21. A comforter set with a unique faux-fur texture that just makes me want to crawl under the covers to read all night (or as long as my eyes can stay open). Target 22. A comforter set with cute pom-poms to refresh your bedroom with a fun boho vibe. Target Set includes a comforter and two pillow shams. Promising review:"I love the color, it's sooo soft. The pompoms are just perfect. It's the right amount of warmth for me. I may buy another one!!" — Gemini 23. A faux rabbit-fur comforter I might buy so I can live out my dreams of cuddling up with a bunch of bunnies that I didn't know I had until now. Set includes a comforter and two pillow shams. Promising review:"I'm super picky about my bedding. This is the best comforter I have ever owned! I love that it's machine washable (and not too thick that it doesn't get clean). It only took 20 minutes to dry on 'ultra low' heat. It's SO soft and keeps you warm but not hot. The size actually covers my king size bed properly. Even my husband loves it. ❤️ I'm buying a second one for back up. Please make in more colors!!" — Megan 24. A 10-piece comforter set with down alternative materials to keep you at the perfect temperature in all seasons. Target Set includes a comforter, two pillow shams, two pillowcases, a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, a bed skirt, a cushion, and a pillow. Promising review:"LOVE!!! I ordered a queen but received a king, but that worked better and it doesn't overly hang over the bed so it actually worked out and didn't need to exchange. It's so soft, I love sleeping in my bed now. It feels luxurious and I washed it right away with no issues. The texture is beautiful and again so soft. I got the white and it's a true crisp white, absolutely beautiful. So glad of the mess up with receiving the different size, the queen might have been too small on the bed. Love it!!! " — T Price: $46.99+ (originally $109.99+; available in sizes twin–California king and six colors) 25. A reversible microfiber comforter because it comes at an affordable price without compromising on comfort or style. Target Promising review:"I love how it's double-sided so I have the option to chose if I want a dark or lighter gray. Super fluffy and comfortable. It doesn't feel like it's made with cheap material." — Elixxgxo Price: $20+ (available in sizes twin–king and six colors) Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
