Spinning Warp & Weft
Hi, this is MATSU.
We have just announced the launch in our recent BLOG!
“MODEL 80th XXXX-EXTRA”
In this issue, we will introduce the detailed specifications of the spinning section.
The point is the natural unevenness of the yarn that cannot be produced by the design.
The natural unevenness of vintage denim has been thoroughly pursued by reducing the twist to the limit.
Only for BIG JOHN with a fluffy, supple and rough texture.
The “Mura” structural yarn is completed.
Nowadays, the technology of vintage fabrics has advanced and it is possible to create “unevenness” in the design
It has become, but in [5 Continents Organic Denim], an invention of Big John.
I aimed to achieve a natural texture that cannot be expressed in the “Mere Old Vintage”.
Next is “Dyeing Denim”.
Dyeing Denim
Hi, this is MATSU.

“MODEL 80th XXXX-EXTRA”
I will introduce the details of the specifications little by little.
This time, I’m going to introduce the dyeing section.
We have pursued the deep indigo color of natural indigo.
Natural indigo does not come out to the deep density of indigo like synthetic indigo.
We have to keep on dyeing until you get a satisfying indigo color.
As a result, 16 ropes were dyed 16 times to achieve the deep indigo color we were looking for.
The process took three times as much time and effort as usual.
When I emphasize the importance of beautiful color fading of jeans, the color of the jeans is deep and deep.
The center of the yarn should be left white (medium white), and it should be rope-dyed.
Natural indigo dyeing material is not suitable for rope dyeing, but Sakamoto Denim is.
With your help, we were able to realize our research from the natural indigo itself.
The next issue will be “Woven Fabrics”.
Woven Fabric
Hi, this is MATSU.
We have just announced the launch in our recent BLOG!
“MODEL 80th XXXX-EXTRA”
I would like to introduce the details of the specifications little by little.
Today’s topic is “Woven Fabrics”.
Using a shuttle loom from the early Showa era, which is one of the few remaining machines, the tension is applied to the warp and weft.
We wove slowly and carefully, not giving to the extreme.
Its production is only a dozen meters a day.
At 15.8 ounces, the fabric is one of the heavier categories, but with time, it has a unusual surface.
The result is a fabric with a nice texture that is uneven, fluffy and unique.
We use high quality materials that are unparalleled in the world, and we use insufficient but labor-heavy amount of time to handcraft warm and beautiful materials.
A special original denim suitable for the 80th anniversary is launched.
