Futatabi6.5 Sumi Ai Indigo Sorahikohime Nou

The Bullmarine Rikishi stamp pressed on the inside is proof of true selvedge denim woven slowly on a vintage gravity loom. The R embroidery is plant‑dyed in a shade inspired by Edo Kobicha, a traditional Japanese brown. Sorahikohime follows the honest, regular‑straight silhouette modeled after vintage denim.

— Standard Denim in Sumi‑ai Indigo.

Woven firmly and loosely from Zimbabwe cotton, Futatabi 6.5 is 45R’s signature 14‑ounce denim with bold, uneven texture. Its stitchwork is built on deliberate points rather than long lines, giving the fabric a grounded strength. The deep sumi‑ai indigo—rope‑dyed with an original recipe using Japan’s unique ink‑black tone and natural indigo extracted over a year from plant leaves—creates a quietly rich depth.
