Studio D'Artisan 12.5oz "Awa-Ai" Natural Indigo Dyed Sashiko Trousers (Relaxed Tapered Fit)
Natural indigo sashiko is what they dye for!
Here we have one of the best-of-the-best natural indigo hand-dyed garments available! Utilizing a centuries-old indigo dyeing technique from Tokushima, Japan called "awa-Ai", SDA has brought us these beautiful indigo sashiko trousers which are truly a work of art!
The "Awa-Ai" dyeing technique involves a painstaking and time-consuming process of fermenting indigo leaves for 100 days before being ready for dyeing. SDA's highly skilled craftsmen hand-dye the cotton threads over 10 times to achieve the beautiful sky-blue indigo colour. Compared with more common machine-dyed methods, this hand-dyeing process results in a more uneven colourway and a rich indigo colour with more and more indigo hues as it slowly fades with wear! Once the desired sky-blue colour has been achieved, the cotton threads are slowly woven into the 12.5oz sashiko fabric using vintage looms, before being cut and sewn by the most skilled Japanese artisans. Thanks to both the dyeing and weaving processes, the fabric has a silky-soft feel with a three-dimensional texture!
Construction-wise, SDA has spared no expense! With the Japanese lightweight natural indigo hand-dyed cotton twill fabric lining the pockets, waistband and yoke you can enjoy a different kind of ageing alongside the sashiko! These trousers feature hard-wearing binding construction, normally seen in high-end suit tailoring! Chain-stitching, hidden back-pocket rivets and the lining ensure these trousers will remain highly durable for many years to come!
Details-wise, these trousers feature a custom natural cowhide patch design which will age to darker mahogany colour with time!
If you are looking for some of the most high-end natural indigo hand-dyed sashiko trousers, using traditional Japanese dyeing techniques, SDA is a fantastic choice!

Studio D'Artisan "Kurozome" Ultimate-Black MA-1 Flight Jacket
Blacker than black!
Utilising traditional dyeing techniques dating back over 1,000 years SDA has landed hot on the runway with this one! Originating from the Kyoto Montsuki dyeing tradition, these techniques were used to dye garments worn by Buddhist priests and Samurai as formal attire. This dyeing method involves a slow and laborious process whereby base layers of red or indigo dye are applied before a natural black hand dye derived from betel nuts (Binroji) is applied multiple times. Each garment is hand-dyed by one of a small handful of highly skilled craftsmen, resulting in a super dark, ultimate-black colourway!
The shell of this MA-1 flight jacket is constructed with their specially developed, medium--weight high-density military-style cotton twill. It has been grand indigo thread-dyed first and then "Kurozome" hand-dyed over 10 times to give it an ultimate black look in brand new condition. With time, you will see the ultimate black fade very slowly to a dark blue hue then more shades of indigo will come up little by little with wear and wash!
This MA-1 flight jacket is finished by the most skilful Japanese factory that has produced military-style jackets over decades, each jacket is hand-sewn by the most skilful artisan at a slow pace with passion like a tailored jacket or suit!
If you are looking for the flyest flight jacket, this is the ultimate version!
