Studio D’Artisan D1885 14oz ‘Rain Kasuri’ Slub Selvedge Jeans – Regular Tapered

In Japanese culture, rain embodies renewal and cleansing, evokes feelings of melancholy and impermanence, reflects a profound connection to nature and the changing seasons, and represents spiritual harmony, resilience, and endurance.

Studio D'Artisan's "Rain" series celebrates these themes through the traditions of Japanese indigo dyeing and Sashiko Stitching. At its heart lies the "Ame Gasuri" (Rain Kasuri) fabric, distinguished by its unique patterns resembling falling raindrops, created by dyeing only the warp threads to form irregular, broken lines. This technique links the wearer to Japan's natural beauty and rural landscapes.

Kasuri is a Japanese weaving method akin to Ikat dyeing, first developed in the Ryukyu Kingdom (modern-day Okinawa). The fabrics are woven on vintage looms in Okayama and "bloom" after washing, revealing an almost three-dimensional texture. Originally, Sashiko was used to repair kimonos and workwear, but evolved into an art form, adding decorative patterns to garments.

The 14oz slub selvedge denim of the Rain Sashiko jeans features a truly unique, hairy, irregular texture. The indigo blue is deepened by the dark gray weft threads, adding further dimension. The jeans offer a modern tapered fit with a comfortable rise and ample room at the thighs.
