Embrace the sublime blend of functionality and comfort with the our natural indigo dyed painter jeans. Crafted from a lightweight denim that's slightly airier than our 14 oz Futatabi 6.5 fabric, these jeans promise ease of movement with their robust silhouette. Made on vintage shuttle looms from the 1950s, the denim exhibits a dense weave, yet feels remarkably light when worn.

The deep Ai Indigo hue, achieved through numerous dyeing processes, evolves beautifully over time. With each wash, the color subtly fades to a misty, purplish shade, maintaining its elegance without appearing worn. These jeans are designed to be lived in, shaped and matured by your lifestyle. The large back pockets and additional tool pocket add a practical touch, making them perfect for those who value jeans that combine style with substantial utility.

How Does Natural 藍 Ai Indigo Denim Age?

Top: Regular Indigo Dye | Bottom: Natural 藍 Ai Indigo Dye

Both pairs are 45R denim, aged over five years, each showcasing indigo blue's beauty. Regular indigo dye presents the "Nakaziro" effect, where the warp's fading indigo exposes the weft's white yarns over time, transitioning the color to a bluish white. In contrast, Natural Ai Indigo dye fades slowly, maintaining a deep indigo hue even with prolonged wear.

This unique aging, known as "Nakaziro," highlights the charm of rope-dyed indigo. As the warp threads lighten, the weft's white threads become visible.

100% natural Ai Indigo differs from regular indigo in that its dye particles are exceptionally fine, allowing the dye to penetrate deeply into the fibers. As a result, even as the denim ages, the weft threads that emerge also display the indigo color, continuously creating a deep blue hue.

Fermenting and resting the leaves repeatedly to develop the dye
Natural Ai Indigo dye, over a year in the making.

Our natural Ai Indigo is derived from the Persicaria tinctoria plant, grown in Japan. The process involves planting the seeds, nurturing the plants, and harvesting them—followed by fermentation—a journey that takes between one to one and a half years to produce the dye itself.
