Studio D'Artisan's "Indigo Green" series explores a particularly interesting side of Japanese natural dyeing, combining Natural Indigo with dye extracted from Yamamomo (Japanese Bayberry) tree bark to create a color with unusual depth. Rather than being a simple green fabruc, the two natural dyes are layered together, allowing the Natural Indigo to mingle with the softer tones of the Yamamomo dye.

The process produces a deep, settled color that gradually reveals a subtle green cast. Because the color comes from multiple layers of dye rather than a single flat shade, there is a natural variation and depth to the fabric that becomes more apparent the longer you look at it. Studio D'Artisan describes the resulting colour as one that cannot be achieved through a single dye alone, with the overlapping dyes creating its distinctive character. 

This particular piece from SDA pays homage to Baker pants that were commonplace amongst servicemen after WWII. Created as part of a major uniform overhaul after WWII, the very simple design of the pants was to put versatility on a pedestal. Whether being worn on base or out in the field, the breezy fabric and relaxed cut proved to be a hit amongst servicemen during the US military's time in Korea and Vietnam.
