D4564 - 15.5oz "Amami Dorozome" Sashiko Denim Type 2 Jacket - Dark Brown

Studio D'Artisan - 15.5oz "Amami Dorozome" Sashiko Denim Type 2 Jacket

As you probably know at this point, the "Amami Dorozome" lineup has a stranglehold on us. We have a hard time saying no to anything dyed with this ancient process. We're a sucker for an earth-tone backing. And it doesn't get much more earthy than literal earth - mud (and wood in this case). On the island of Amami-Oshima, they've perfected the process of combining mud and vegetable juices to create a unique color and texture unknown to us anywhere else in the world. This year, they've given us a wood dye as well that forms the second layer of this fabric - the first being indigo and the final being mud. It has a washed-out feel from day one in most garments, but this jacket, it creates a rich, luxurious look.  It definitely has a tea-core feeling to us. For the Dark Brown pair, they've added the mud dye as the third layer to create a dark, almost black look to the pant. These are going to fade like nothing we've ever seen. This fabric mimics Japanese tradition in that a jacquard machine recreates the hand stitch used to repair garments and kimonos in the past. The stitching, underlying denim, wood dye, and mud-dye will fade in tandem on these to create one of the most unique things in your closet.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 42 in these. He's always had to size up at least once from Studio D'artisan, except for on rare occasions. This fits perfectly in the size which compares to an American Large, while still sitting nicely at the waist. Tommy is 5'10," 180lbs with a 40" chest.
