The latest arrivals from Studio D'Artisan

As we come to the end of February, a fresh set of arrivals from Osaka OG's Studio D'Artisan get us into full gear as Spring's sunny rays just begin to kick into action. This week's collection is a fully tops-focused set of releases, meticulously crafted over the past year.

Unlike regular indigo dyeing, “Aishibuzome" exhibits a profound and evolving color palette. With each wear, the rich tones of persimmon tannin deepen, creating a unique patina. This phenomenon is attributed to the tannin's property of polymerization over time. Notably, persimmon tannin is renowned for its potent antibacterial qualities and deodorizing effects, making it a substance rooted in tradition and functionality. Additionally, “Aishibuzome" embodies not just a color but a profound narrative. Studio D'Artisan, with its commitment to heritage and craftsmanship, presents the new 15oz. Type II Jacket as a canvas that evolves with the wearer, telling a timeless story of tradition, craftsmanship, and the eternal beauty found in the simplicity of nature.

a remarkable step towards sustainability in denim fashion, Studio D'Artisan introduces a game-changer with their "Recycled Cotton" Jacket. Turning cotton slubs, once considered waste, into usable yarn, they have woven an eco-friendly denim with a unique texture. The irregularities in the fabric offer a vintage charm, making each jacket one-of-a-kind.

Travel back to 1953 with Studio D'Artisan's "Ishikawadai" Selvedge Work Shirt, crafted using a vintage Japanese ring spinning machine. Operating at a slower pace, this machine preserves the cotton's natural texture, giving the fabric an authentic, uneven look reminiscent of hand-spun cotton. Indigo-dyed warp threads and low-tech production techniques pay homage to denim craftsmanship of the past, ensuring each shirt tells a unique story with every wear.

Delve into history with Studio D'Artisan's "Kurozome" Selvedge Sashiko Vest, featuring Kyoto Montsuki Black dyeing dating back to the Heian period. Craftsmen hand-dye each garment, layering colors to achieve the deepest hue of black. The proprietary Sashiko weave adds texture and comfort, making this vest a testament to expert craftsmanship and timeless style.

Rounding up this week's arrivals is the return of SDA's Indigo Dyed Tees. Opting for U.S. cotton during production, the T-shirt is durable as hell and heavyweight, a result of using short-staple cotton from the United States. Each tee then undergoes a garment dye process, locking in the indigo in order to create the perfect canvas for fading.
