Samurai are no strangers when it comes to delving deep into the realm of dyeing techniques and we have seen many past examples of their Natural Indigo & Sumi (to name a few) dyed jeans. In an exciting new development for this year, Samurai incorporate a naturally dervied Sakura dye into the yarns used their popular "Ai Plus series".

The concept of "Ai Plus" involves a special method to combine both synthetic and Natural Indigo to create a unique pigment of indigo while also allowing the yarns to be rope dyed. The resulting fabric face is a unique hue which cannot be achieved using synthetic dyes combined with a slubby, neppy texture that is simply made to be faded.
