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 regular straight fit with a high rise making them super comfortable. 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.

These jeans have a standard sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage. The waist will experience the typical stretching seen in Tanuki denim due to the low tension weave. Expect approximately 1 inches of stretching.
