8121 - Aishibu Dyed Crew Neck - Indigo, Kakishibu

While there have been a lot of incredible pieces in Studio's lineup this year, this is the one we were waiting for. We are huge suckers for Kakishibu-dyed anything. It works well as a top layer, but it's hard to argue with how it looks under a rope-dyed indigo sweatshirt. This is our first time experiencing this process, one where the indigo is dyed first and the Kakishubu is layered over the top. The first dye gives it the deep, rich indigo from a long stay in the dye bath. It is then dyed multiple times with Kakishibu tannin. This process allows the brown persimmon dye to come through the garment as the indigo fades away.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size large in the photos. He thought this would be closer to his true size, but these fit a lot like the tee shirts. An XL would have been the better overall fit with his outfit. Their tees and sweats are simply built differently, so whatever you do, don't just buy your true size. Take some measurements and make sure you size up by at least one size. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
