Tanuki x Graph Zero - Indigo Sashiko Utility Pants - Sumi Overdye

Tanuki is another brand that's been on our radar for quite some time. The more modern takes on vintage classics were something we always appreciated. And the simplicity of the branding is really alluring to us. We love how they incorporate it in the design of the apparel. They have been one of the most pleasant brands to work with and we can't wait to get this journey started with a brand that has an eye on the future while keeping one foot in the past. 

Tanuki has been working on this collaboration with the famed denim makers Graph Zero, out of Kojima, for over two years! That level of dedication to a project is inspiring. If we could take 3 of our favorite things about this world and mash them together, it would be this collaboration. One, this is made with Supima. You know we love Supima - the American cotton which only proper certification allows you to make. Two, they've used natural rope-dyed indigo for the base. Natural indigo is the purest form of what we've always lusted after. Third, they overdyed it with black...but not just any black. This overdye is a Sumi ink - the medium used for Japanese calligraphy. How can it get better than this? We're not sure it can. This is the pinnacle. And we didn't even mention everyone's favorite buzz fabric...Sashiko! This is a denim head's peak fantasy. It embodies everything we care about in one piece. And, they went and topped it with the perfect royal blue tag work that acts as the sprinkles on the cupcake.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 32 in the pictures. This is his typical size in Tanuki. These were an easy fit as the top block is a bit roomier. They also have a true mid-rise that makes them easier to fit, without sacrificing that nice taper from the knee to the ankle. Pay close attention to those size charts, as they're always your best bet for getting the best fit. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 32-33" waist depending on the rise.
