Studio D'Artisan 14oz Indigo Dyed "Rain Kasuri" Denim Trousers (Tapered fit)
Flow like water!
Talking about Kasuri Indigo, Studio D'Artisan could be the first brand we have known who has been promoting it over the years with many different types of Kasuri Indigo dyed products! This season, we are proud to offer you garments from their "Rainy Kasuri" collection!
An ancient indigo dyeing technique called Kasuri was developed from Ikat dyeing during the reign of the Ryukyu Kingdom around 1200AD. Today, we would love to introduce you to these 14oz "Rain" Kasuri Indigo denim trousers from SDA!
This pair is made with SDA's specially developed 14oz Kasuri indigo-dyed denim. It is made of long-fibre, brownish hue African cotton and slowly woven from the vintage Toyoda G3 machine. This process gives it a beautiful irregular texture but also a smooth touch. The warp has been thread dyed with grand indigo, being with time, it will age to a high-contrasted and soulful look. The pattern has been woven using undyed kasuri threads in a broken straight line to express the beautiful 'rain' motif!
Construction-wise, this pair of denim features chain stitching, hidden back pocket rivets for enhanced durability! The ultra-thick cowhide patch features a custom design inspired by Hokusai's famous print The Bridge At Edo In The Rain. The iron buttons are black sulphur overdyed for some tasteful contrast. With time they will age to a soulful shinier look!
