Studio D'Artisan 13oz "Ishikawadai" Indigo Type 2 Denim Jacket
Celebrating 45 years of Japanese craftsmanship!
To celebrate its 45th anniversary since its founding in 1979, SDA has released these limited-run denim jeans and jackets utilizing one of the oldest operating vintage Ishikawadai denim machines.
This jacket is constructed with 100% cotton, 13oz pink selvage ID denim. This fabric is woven ultra-slowly on a vintage Ishikawadai denim machine (one of the oldest Japanese denim machines established in 1953) at low tension. This results in denim fabric that strikes the perfect balance between smooth and subtly irregular texture - just like the vintage Levi's and Lee models that sparked the Japanese denim industry half a century ago! The warp has been genuine indigo thread-dyed and will age to a high-contrasted sky blue indigo look with wear and washing!
Speaking of construction, this model features a classic type 2 jacket with twin chest pockets, a pleated placket for ease of movement, a custom leather patch, coated iron buttons and rivets for enhanced durability! Compared with the OG version, this jacket has a slightly longer vertical length for an even better fit!
If you are looking for a limited edition Made In Japan Type 2 denim jacket in a comfortable all-season 13oz weight, SDA is a great choice!
