Lot. 702 Denim Trousers FW25 - Raw Indigo
Taiga Takahashi's iconic wide silhouette selvage jeans are made from original denim fabric from Okayama, Japan. This 3/1 left twill, light-ounce denim is made of U.S.-grown organic cotton and woven on an old-style power loom in Okayama, Japan. The denim fabric is slowly woven on an old-type power loom, also known as a shuttle loom, which can weave at only 1/10 to 1/20 the speed of modern looms, leaving the original unevenness of the cotton yarns and making the fabric uneven in a good sense. The warp yarn is indigo mixed with sulfide dye, which gives it a weathered green cast color. The core is dyed white by rope-dyeing. The weft yarn is a custom-made nep yarn dyed to a yellowish, yellowish color that evokes the passage of time. By using these two types of yarns, we arrived at Taiga Takahashi's original dark and deep indigo blue. The finishing touch is a shrink-proofing process called "Sanforized. The fabric is a "white ear" selvedge denim fabric, and the white ear is used in various places, including the back of the belt. In the 1940s, the use of decorative snap buttons instead of the traditional iron buttons was introduced, and other details began to change.
The Art Deco style buttons and rivets used in those days were studied and reproduced in their original colors. Signature leather patches are made from mud-dyed leather patches from Amami-Oshima.
