Denim jacket produced in a 3/1 left twill, light-ounce denim made from U.S.-grown organic cotton and woven on an old-style power loom in Okayama. Featuring patch pocket on side, pleats at front, straight sleeves, and signature leather patches made from mud-dyed leather patches from Amami-Oshima.
The denim fabric is slowly woven on an old-type power loom, also known as a shuttle loom, which can weave at only 1/10 to 1/20 the speed of modern looms, leaving the original unevenness of the cotton yarns and making the fabric uneven in a good sense. The warp yarn is indigo mixed with sulfide dye, which gives it a weathered green cast colour. The core is dyed white by rope-dyeing. The weft yarn is a custom-made nep yarn dyed to a yellowish, yellowish colour that evokes the passage of time. By using these two types of yarns, we arrived at Taiga Takahashi's original dark and deep indigo blue. The finishing touch is a shrink-proofing process called "Sanforised".
