PURE BLUE JAPAN 6.7OZ NATURAL INDIGO DYED TEE
Get a taste some of the world’s most AMAZING natural indigo, no joke!
When talking about indigo, it’s impossible to forget the contribution of Japan!
In old times, natural indigo was used by the Japanese for workwear and hand made signage.
Natural indigo dye, one of the most difficult dyes to use consistently! The craftsman at PBJ dye threads of indigo by hand then naturally dry them; they repeat this process 10 times!
The result, an amazing, pure natural indigo dyed tee that will age amazingly. With time, the indigo will very slowly age to a super bright shade with some amazing character.
Compared to their standard indigo dye, this method is much more difficult to achieve and makes up for a brighter, slower, soulful fade.
If you’re interested in PBJs natural indigo jeans, this is a great first step to appreciate the craftsmanship!
