“Awa-ai” refers to a natural indigo dye derived from plants native to Japan’s Tokushima Prefecture. Affectionately referred to as “Japan Blue”, these natural dyes create beautiful shades of blue that enjoy a deep-rooted standing in both Japanese culture and Samurai lore.
Mister Freedom and Sugarcane Co. have worked closely with the master dyers of Tokushima and the denim artisans of the Kojima Mills to create their very special “Awa-ai” Lot.64 Jeans. This hairy, neppy, selvedge denim is made up of rope-dyed cotton and sugarcane fibers. The warp is a 50/50 natural indigo/synthetic indigo split – creating a unique “Colour of Victory” shade of indigo.
Mister Freedom’s Lot.64 fit offers up a mid-rise, straight-ish leg style that both emulates and improves upon that classic ‘50s-’60s cut. Not too slim, not too swooshy. Both the hairy surface and deep blue hues of this selvedge denim will take on lives of their own with solid wear.
Carlo wears a size 32 jean. He is 185cm tall and weighs 78kg / 6ft 1" and 172 lbs.
