Studio D'Artisan 45th Anniversary "藍極 Ai-KYOKU" 16oz Extreme Slab Jeans epitomizes the pursuit of ultimate texture. Utilizing the traditional Japanese "Kasezome" dyeing method, the warp yarns are tediously dyed and feature a harmonious blend of No. 6 slub and nep yarn. Pushing the weaving capability of the looms to their limit, the fabric acquires an intense unevenness that sets it apart from conventional denim. Complementing the warp, the weft is woven with No. 5 super-slub yarns, imbuing the jeans with a raw, rugged texture and weight. This distinctive slub and irregular feel not only provides a substantial and heavy fabric but also reflects the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Japanese denim.
