Oni Denim Awa Shoai - 19oz Natural Indigo

New Oni Denim Awa Shoai, 19oz original Japanese selvage denim Hand dyed with natural indigo harvested from the Tokushima prefecture in Japan by one of only a handful of indigo craftsmen capable of this dyeing technique certified by the Japanese government to be a national living treasure. This denim is woven with the same low tension and irregular manner as Oni's regular medium weight denim but done so with heavier and more uneven threads giving it an extra slubby texture. The silhouette is the same as the Oni Blue fit and the denim features dual Solid and Tri-color selvage lines, one edge is plain White with the other edge being White, Purple, & Yellow (traditional colors of the Edo Period in Japan). And by special request, we made Deerskin leather patches using the older and original style "Oni (鬼) Face" patch design embossed atop of an ink stamp reading "Natural Indigo" (天然藍). Available now in store and online and for the first time in size 42, more details below and here

Natural Indigo Dyeing in Tokushima Japan

A small excerpt from the "Journal of The Society of International Natural Dyeing".  We acquired this from a close friend many years back and had it posted on our website but was misplaced until recently rediscovering it. This six page discussion focuses on natural indigo dyeing in Tokushima Japan and the historical background of natural indigo (known in Tokushima as "sukumo"), how sukumo is used and made, and how the dyebath is made. The process of creating natural indigo in Japan differs from that in other parts of the world in that the leaves are fermented to extract the indigo compound, a process that can take upwards of one year for a single batch of sukumo.

This highly prized and coveted sukumo can be found in a select few jeans sold in our store that are dyed with natural indigo harvested from Tokushima prefecture, helping to keep this centuries old tradition alive. These jeans can be found by typing Tokushima into the "Product Search" window of our web store or by clicking here. To view the full discussion on "sukumo" click Read more» at the bottom left of the cover page below.

Warehouse / Rocky Mountain Featherbed Vest

Warehouse have collaborated with the Rocky Mountain Featherbed Co to produce this Goose Down Vest with Wild Horse Leather Yokes and Sheepskin Fur lined collar. The body is made from from a Japan made high grade nylon taffeta. The average fabric weight commonly found in outerwear using nylon taffeta is around a 10D-30D grade. However the body for this vest is made of higher-density 70D Nylon Taffeta fabric and in a matte finish to replicate a vintage type finish as opposed to the shiny finish that taffeta is known for.

Warehouse have provided the leather for the front and back yokes which are specifically made of leather from horses found only in the wild, so noticeable scaring and staining will be visible. This leather is only available on the Warehouse versions of outerwear for Rocky Mountain Featherbed Co.

Other details include Mother of pearl snap button front closure,

Front pockets with dual entry openings - one with a velcro closure,

a Contrast Blue inner lining, and Inner Pocket with Zip closure. 

This vest is Made in Japan and available now in store and online here
