Futatabi6.5 Ai Sorahikohime Distressed (28 & 29 in)

45R's commitment to denim goes beyond our original indigo—it lies in the texture of the fabric itself. Through trial and error, using vintage denim as a guide, we created this 5-pocket denim woven roughly from extra-thick 6.5-count yarn, with an uneven, rugged surface.

The indigo comes from Awa Ai, the natural indigo of Tokushima. It takes over a year to create the dye from plant leaves. Deeply dyed indigo transforms slowly into a muted tone over time.
