The Japan Blue brand is well known to many fans of Japanese denim. This manufacturer strives to produce clothes in a modern style, while using traditional methods of fabric production and classic methods of dyeing.
The use of natural dyes by Japanese brands goes back to ancient times, when no other dyes but natural ones existed. Nowadays the use of such dyes emphasizes the manufacturer’s commitment to the old Japanese traditions and the desire for environmental friendliness of products. This time Japan Blue have prepared something special for you. In the Japan Blue Garment Dye series, jeans are available in 5 different colors with natural dyeing.
Fabric
As with classic jeans, the denim is woven on shuttle looms and has a Selvedge ID. The texture of the denim is predominantly plain with very slight heterogeneity.
It is especially worth noting that the classic rope dyeing of the threads is not used here. For this Japan Blue series, pigment dyeing of the finished jeans is used. This gives the jeans a beautiful worn-in effect from the start. The denim has slightly lightened areas around the folds and seams. This looks nice and natural.
Let’s take a look at each color of this Japan Blue series individually.
Kakishibu
It is a well-known traditional Japanese traditional dye derived from dried persimmon fruit. The fabric has a beautiful brownish-brown color. This color goes very well with different clothes and is versatile and neutral.
Kakishibu color jeans are available in several styles. We illustrate each style in this series using the classic Japan Blue models as an example.
