Sumi Ai Indigo Light Oz 908 Hikohime Jacket Distressed (Size 3)

Sometimes as an outer layer, sometimes as an inner one—this piece is sure to be useful throughout the year. Its slightly shorter length creates a clean and effortless silhouette.

The deep indigo, achieved through dozens of rounds of dyeing, slowly transforms over the years, fading into a hazy shade of purple. No matter how often it is washed, the fabric never loses its strength, and the refined hue remains—qualities unique to indigo denim and a hallmark of Japanese craftsmanship.

This lighter-weight denim, just a touch softer than our Futatabi 6.5, has a strong, visible weave while still feeling light when worn. Like the Futatabi 6.5, it is woven carefully on old-style shuttle looms from the 1950s, resulting in a light-ounce denim that embodies the spirit of 45R’s dedication to craftsmanship.
