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.

This exclusive piece is a modified Type II jacket, offering extra length to accommodate convenient hand warmer pockets, providing both style and practicality. Additionally, it features interior pockets for added functionality, allowing you to carry your essentials with ease.

Despite being a Japanese jacket, like most Tanuki garments, we find the sizing of this Type II to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American jackets, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size 40 (M). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but once washed, so there will be no shrinkage.

The Tanuki brand was established in 2016 in Okayama Prefecture. It comprises a small group of great artisans who are passionate about denim and boast more than 30 years’ experience in other brands in the industry. If there is something that characterizes Tanuki garments in addition to its modern cuts, it is the quality and variety of its fabrics, with prime importance given to the best cottons, natural indigo and the application of different types of tension on the shuttle looms when producing the fabrics.
