Naked & Famous - MIJ11 - Tokushima Hand Dyed Kakishibu Selvedge - Super Guy

It's hard to express our love for the MIJ series. We think it's the best Naked & Famous has to offer, but the Tokushima series takes it to another level. The Tokushima prefecture where this process is done was named by Japan as an "intangible cultural treasure."

This is for sure the best of the best. It's 100% top to bottom Made in Japan. But this year, instead of natural indigo they went with a dye we have quite a history and affinity for. Kakishibu is our second favorite dye, only behind indigo. It's done using an ancient technique called "hank dyeing" and quite a few persimmons. The dyeing process includes numerous hand dunks in vats followed by drying in the sun. This 14oz slowly woven process using uneven slub yarns allows the jean to soak in the dye at varying levels. Overall, what you get is a crunchy Kakishibu dream. This is also partially due to the Tempi wash treatment it's treated to after the dyeing process. 

These feature all of the details you're used to with the the MIJ series - things built to age like a fine wine. The copper rivets, including those hidden in the back pockets, will oxidize with time. The iron buttons will rust just like the original pairs of denim from the early 1900s. The sheepskin leather patch will take on the characters of your wear. And the Kakishibu will lighten in all the spots you're used to with indigo jeans. 

The MIJ11 is a stunning example of the Kakishibu dyeing technique and a beautiful reminder of the value of traditional practices- they are a symbol of a timeless craft, and a tribute to the beauty of imperfection.

    Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size 33 in the Super Guy Fit. In recent years, he's decided to go for comfort over fit. And ultimately, this denim breaks in so nicely and shapes to your legs no matter what waist size you choose. That's the beauty of it. These seem to be a little bit tighter than we were expecting, and he might even be able to size up to a size 34. luckily, they're a loose weave and will stretch quite easily. We still recommend sizing up at least once from your normal Super Guy size. Tommy is 5'10", 170lbs with a 33-34" waist. 

    *The Super Guy is a skinny fit with a medium rise, a slim top block, and a taper from knee to hem.
