"Kakishibu" is a traditional Japanese dye derived from fermented “kaki” (persimmon) fruit. Pure Blue Japan call on this natural dyeing process to impart an earthy, amber-to-burnt-orange hue to the weft of these PER-EX-019 jeans. Combined with a rope-dyed indigo warp, it creates a unique blue jean with a subtle copper cast that will develop further as it breaks in.
It’s a warp/weft combination that suits the more textured edge of PBJ’s EX denim perfectly. Woven at low tensions on traditional shuttle looms, this Okayama selvedge denim is renowned for its rich, uneven surface. The "Kakishibu" dye treatment honours this wonderful surface texture by adding fresh layers of coloured depth.
Here in Pure Blue Japan’s “019” mid-rise, relaxed tapered cut.
