D1854S - 15.5oz Indigo O/W Sashiko Denim Jeans - Relaxed Taper

Studio D'Artisan - 15.5oz Indigo O/W Sashiko Denim Jeans - Relaxed Taper

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

Fit Notes: Although these are a relaxed taper, they're still a slim fit. We always recommend sizing up at least once with Studio pants, but some people even size up twice. In this instance Tommy, our standard fit reference wears a 32 in this jean, when he normally wears a 31. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 32-33" waist.
