For our latest OD+SDA Bomber Jacket project, we decided to opt for a fabric we fell in love with back in 2024 that was part of SDA's inline collection. This time we feature the convergence of Kasuri-dyed yarns and tedious weaving that is a marriage of hues and heritage, evoking the essence of Japanese tradition. The distinctive indigo-dyed Sashiko fabric called "Ame Gasuri," or "Rain Kasuri", is renowned for its unique and intricate patterns that capture the essence of falling raindrops. It is created by the careful arrangement of Kasuri-dyed and undyed threads, allowing the weaver to craft irregular, broken straight lines that mimic the appearance of rain falling. This motif, first developed during Japan’s Edo period, embodies the "wabi-sabi" spirit, finding beauty in simplicity and imperfection. Historically, Ame-Gasuri garments were cherished for their quiet elegance and connection to nature, reflecting a harmony between craftsmanship and the natural world.

Following our design ethos that makes an OD+ piece unique, we wanted to have something special tucked into the jacket just for the wearer to enjoy.We toyed around with indigo discharge fabrics, linen & canvas to use as possible lining material for the jacket, but eventually came across a few vintage Sukajan (Souvenir Jackets) during the design process, and the rest is history.

Cue the finest jacket liner we've had come through the doors. We took a Rayon heavy fabric that is usually reserved for Souvenir Jackets (or Sukajan), and had the entire inner of the jacket lined with the subtle, yet supreme, inlay. 

Applying a 70% Rayon / 30% Cotton textile to line the entire jacket & pockets, a color best described as sand gold was selected to line this piece. Selvedge details are littered throughout the item, from the locker loop sewn into the inner collar, the Selvedge ID featured on the inner chest pocket, and of course the ID running up the inner side of the zipper. The Zipper pull tabs were custom-produced for this piece from a tanned cowhide leather, featuring a contrast gold zig-zag stitch detail.
