D1897S - 15.5oz "Kakishibu Sashiko" Indigo Jacquard Denim - Relaxed Taper

Studio D’Artisan’s D1897S blends traditional Japanese dyeing techniques with a richly textured sashiko weave, resulting in one of the most distinctive fabrics in their lineup. Woven on a jacquard loom, the 15.5oz sashiko denim features a rope-dyed indigo warp and a Kakishibu-dyed weft - producing a deep indigo exterior subtly warmed by earthy orange-brown undertones that emerge with wear. The sashiko threads react to movement and wash, creating a puckered, three-dimensional surface that evolves uniquely over time. This iteration comes in SDA’s relaxed tapered silhouette and is one-washed to remove shrinkage while preserving the fabric’s natural structure and crispness. Finished with engraved copper rivets, hidden back pocket reinforcement, and a Kakishibu-dyed leather patch w/flag of Japan.

Fit Notes: These fit like a traditional pair of Studio D'artisan, which is smaller than most brands. Tommy is wearing a 36 which is one size up from what he normally buys from Studio. This taper is a heavy taper, so he wanted to give himself a little more room. Ultimately, there was probably more room in the waist than most people would like to rock, so we recommend getting what you normally get from the brand. If you don't know your size, check those size charts and go with our recommendation of sizing up once, at a minimum. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 33-34" waist.
