Another standout piece from Studio D’Artisan’s 45th-anniversary celebrations, the “Amami Dorozome” Type II jacket beautifully combines artisanal tradition with timeless style.

An 18oz indigo-warp, indigo-weft selvedge denim provides the perfect canvas for the craftsmen of Japan’s Amami Oshima island. Here, the jackets are individually hand-overdyed using a natural “Dorozome” mud dye method.

The result is a nuanced blend of dark earthy browns atop a deep indigo base—an almost-black finish that simply could not be achieved via synthetic dye techniques. Over time, the Dorozome top coat will wear and fade to reveal the indigo tones beneath. It’s a truly beautiful interplay of colour and craft.

Here in a classic Type II style with all the trimmings, including dual chest pockets, brass hardware, and those all-important knife pleats.
