We have been working on this collaboration with famed denim makers Graph Zero from Kojima for over two years. Together, we cooked up a special sashiko fabric that has quite a few tricks up its sleeve. Made from soft and silky supima cotton, this sashiko fabric was rope dyed with natural indigo and then overdyed with Japanese sumi ink. It's a dense fabric at first that will slowly reveal its stunning texture with some wear. At 14.5oz, this fabric is perfect for every season. The depth and sheen of this fabric are second to none and it's a painstaking process to find the right cotton and natural indigo so that the sumi overdye actually takes. From a geeky, technical standpoint, this fabric is a true marvel which can only really be appreciated in person. We so many setback because of supply problems caused by COVID that we can hardly express how happy with are with the final result.
We are glad to offer this limited collaboration both as a jacket and as utility pants: The pants have a mid rise, roomy top block, and a decent taper from the knees down. The back pockets have a buttoned flap to make sure that you can keep your stuff safe while the slanted front pocket ensure a casual look. You will find customised hardware, a black deer leather collaboration patch, a blue Graph Zero tab, and our 二 embroidery to make these pants a true collectible item.
