Old vs new. Samurai 19 oz. Maybe 6 months wear? Samurai really does have magic dust sprinkled in them.

This jacket is a great example of why Japanese denim is so revered among us denim collectors.  This Studio D’Artsian denim jacket is woven on Toyota GL3 power looms creating a very slubby texture which I’m a huge fan of.  It is cut in a hybrid type 2 / chore coat style. 

The jacket starts off as an Ecru denim and then hand-dyed using an ancient 1300 year old Amami Dorozome (mud-dyeing) technique from Amami Oshima Island in Japan.  It is initially dyed with native Techi/plum trees and finally dipped in iron-rich mud, specific to the island, for a unique earthy brown tone. 

Admittedly, this jacket isn’t for everyone as it’s a very niche process that not many people care for.  Why not just purchase a brown jacket?! But that’s not the Japanese way! 😀 It’s a nice change and variation from a typical Indigo dyed denim I’d say. 

I’ve been told it’s supposed to fade to a lighter brown over time with some unique fades.
