Studio D'Artisan [D4614] - Futa-Ai Type 1 Denim Jacket

The Studio D'Artisan D4614 Futa-Ai Type 1 Denim Jacket draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese dual-dye process—a historic technique that blended indigo and safflower to create a color once reserved for the elite. SDA honors this craft with a modern interpretation, combining natural Tokushima indigo and madder root to achieve a striking purple hue that shifts with light and wear. Woven on vintage shuttle looms using thick, textured slub yarns throughout, this 16oz selvedge denim delivers substantial weight and beautifully rugged character. The natural dye variations are intentional—each jacket develops its own depth and patina over time, a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship. 100% cotton, made in Japan. Sizing note: This jacket runs small. Most wearers should size up at least one size. If you're on the smaller end of your size and prefer a slim fit, your typical American brand size may work; otherwise, go up.
