"The darker colour of a persimmon, the sweeter it tastes!"
PBJ has cooked up this amazing new denim, combining the black sulphur dyeing expertise with traditional kakishibu (persimmon) dyeing techniques! This pair, woven with their create their extra slubby denim, will age to a unique look, unlike any other denim fabric!
This pair is constructed with its specially developed 15oz blue selvedge I.D. extra-slub denim. This fabric has been slowly using vintage machines resulting in ultra-slubby denim with an amazing three-dimensional texture. The warp is yarn-dyed with black sulphur dye before weaving. In contrast, the weft is yarn-dyed with kakishibu, a traditional Japanese dye derived from persimmons, which, when exposed to sunlight, will darken to a tasteful burnt orange-brown colour! With wear and washing, you can expect this to age with a high-contrasted look with an attractive shade of persimmon colour!
This denim features heavy-duty chain stitching, hidden back pocket rivets and roped belt loop construction for added durability! The high-density veg-tanned deerskin patch will gradually soften and acquire a shinier patina with use! Finally, PBJ has included their signature "indigo leaf" embroidered logo in a custom black colour!
