8081 - "Amami Dorozome" Crewneck Sweatshirt - Dark Brown
Studio D'Artisan - "Amami Dorozome" Crewneck Sweatshirt - Dark Brown
The mud dye is back!! It seems that you guys loved the last round of mud-dyed garments as much as we did. That is what "Amami Dorozome" is, the art of dyeing garments with a combination of mud and vegetable oil to create this gorgeous palette of colors. It really doesn't get more earth-tone than this. We're so lucky the artisans on the island of Amami-Oshima are still producing this long-standing tradition. They've chosen a piece that everyone can easily jump on in the form of this sinker weave sweater. This is another traditional and very hard-to-manage version of knitting. The machines all have their own personalities and have to be coddled to get the fabric just right. What results is some of the best knitting in the world filled with tons of character.

Fit Notes: This sweatshirt is a more standard Studio D'artisan Fit. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a large which is his standard size from these guys. We would recommend buying one size up from your normal size, as we do with most Japanese brands. He is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest, and typically wears a North American Medium (38) and Japanese Large (42).

The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

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.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
