25 years ago...Inspired by vintage denim, we experimented tirelessly, Creating a 5-pocket denim woven with a thick, rugged thread of size 6.5, Resulting in a denim fabric with a rough texture and irregularity. The charming unevenness in the color fading, Filled us with the desire to recreate it once more, giving birth to "Futatabi 6.5" - "Once Again 6.5."

When you receive it, take a moment to touch the fabric. You'll be amazed and exclaim, "Wow, it's really textured!" The shade of natural indigo is from Awa Ai (藍) in Tokushima, Japan. The deeply dyed indigo gradually transforms into a muted hue, A transformation that takes place over an extended period.

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.

Leaves of Persicaria tinctoria, the source of natural Ai Indigo dye

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.
