{"product_id":"studio-dartisan-d4614-futa-ai-denim-type-i-jacket","title":"Studio D'Artisan D4614 \"Futa-Ai\" Denim Type I Jacket","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Studio D'Artisan D4614 introduces one of the most innovative selvedge compositions seen to date: the \u003cstrong\u003e二藍 (Futa-Ai) denim\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring warp yarns dyed in a historic blend of \u003cstrong\u003enatural indigo and safflower\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003e\"Futa-Ai\"\u003c\/strong\u003e literally means \u003cstrong\u003e\"two indigos\"\u003c\/strong\u003e — a reference to the layered dyeing process that produces this distinctive color. The hue itself \u003cstrong\u003edates back to the Heian period\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it was once \u003cstrong\u003ereserved exclusively for the aristocracy\u003c\/strong\u003e as a symbol of \u003cstrong\u003eelegance, refinement, and status\u003c\/strong\u003e within Japan's classical hierarchy. The combination of \u003cstrong\u003eindigo's depth\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esafflower's vivid warmth\u003c\/strong\u003e produces a beautifully nuanced \u003cstrong\u003epurple-toned shade\u003c\/strong\u003e unlike anything in conventional denim — a color born from centuries of Japanese dyeing tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBoth the \u003cstrong\u003ewarp and weft\u003c\/strong\u003e are constructed from \u003cstrong\u003etextured 6-count slub yarns\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the denim a \u003cstrong\u003erugged surface and pronounced vertical character\u003c\/strong\u003e. At \u003cstrong\u003e16oz\u003c\/strong\u003e, the fabric carries a \u003cstrong\u003eheavyweight, substantial feel\u003c\/strong\u003e with exceptional depth, while revealing at first glance the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003evertical \"rain\" streaking\u003c\/strong\u003e that defines naturally indigo-dyed cloth. The fabric is \u003cstrong\u003ewoven on vintage power looms in Ibara, Okayama Prefecture\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of Japan's most renowned denim-producing regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe jacket itself is a \u003cstrong\u003emeticulous reproduction of one of the defining garments of early American workwear\u003c\/strong\u003e. Based on \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal jackets from the mid-1930s\u003c\/strong\u003e, it captures a pivotal moment in denim history — when \u003cstrong\u003efunctionality, durability, and evolving design\u003c\/strong\u003e came together to shape what would become an enduring icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTrue to original specifications, the this type I features a \u003cstrong\u003eshort, boxy silhouette\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003ewide sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to sit higher on the body. This proportion pairs naturally with \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-rise jeans or trousers\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a balanced, vintage-inspired look that feels as relevant today as it did nearly a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis jacket fits \u003cstrong\u003etrue to size\u003c\/strong\u003e for Studio D'Artisan and most Japanese brands. Compared to most global American brands, a \u003cstrong\u003esize 42\u003c\/strong\u003e fits similarly to a \u003cstrong\u003estandard American Large\u003c\/strong\u003e. We recommend taking your usual size for a comfortable fit. The fabric is \u003cstrong\u003eunsanforized\u003c\/strong\u003e but has been \u003cstrong\u003eone-washed\u003c\/strong\u003e, so no further shrinkage is expected. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and comparing it with your best-fitting jacket to find the perfect size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STUDIO D'ARTISAN","offers":[{"title":"38 (S)","offer_id":53649884250450,"sku":"SDA-D4614-JK-38","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"40 (M)","offer_id":53649884283218,"sku":"SDA-D4614-JK-40","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"42 (L)","offer_id":53649884315986,"sku":"SDA-D4614-JK-42","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"44 (XL)","offer_id":53649884348754,"sku":"SDA-D4614-JK-44","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"46 (XXL)","offer_id":53649884381522,"sku":"SDA-D4614-JK-46","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"48 (XXXL)","offer_id":53649884414290,"sku":"SDA-D4614-JK-48","price":465.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2941\/6840\/files\/studio-d_artisan-d4614-futa-ai-denim-type-i-jacket-front.jpg?v=1783443570","url":"https:\/\/redcastheritage.com\/products\/studio-dartisan-d4614-futa-ai-denim-type-i-jacket","provider":"Redcast Heritage Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
