Tanuki has been creating fabrics with incredible wefts using natural dyeings for years, but they have never before used the iconic Japanese kakishibu. This fabric is truly unique, a limited edition that the brand will not reproduce, and its weft is truly remarkable. The weft has been dyed with kakishibu (persimmon), creating a one-of-a-kind color. What sets this kakishibu fabric apart from others is how the kakishibu weft makes a significant impact on the warp. Tanuki's kakishibu gives a vibrant touch to the warp, and the persimmon dye enhances the depth of the warp indigo, resulting in a rich, nuanced hue that captivates from a distance.

This fabric is made of short staple cotton from Australia and Texas, contributing to its very slubby and textured denim feel. As always with kakishibu, this fabric will develop with exposure to sunlight, allowing you to expect a beautiful patina to emerge over time.

The jeans feature a tapered fit with a longer rise, roomy thighs, and tapered legs, making them comfortable and fashionable. The electric blue selvedge line running along the edge of the denim is just the beginning of the exceptional features of this garment. Custom copper buttons and copper rivets give a classic touch of luxury, while the custom vegetable-tanned deerskin leather patch adds a unique touch of style. The Japanese extra-durable herringbone cotton-lined fabric in front and back pockets ensures durability and longevity and the electric blue inner seam thread adds a subtle pop of color.
