Love at first sight. The beautiful, pale indigo-dyed samue.Japanese artisans have carefully tailored this item from fabric dyed in Bushu, an area known for its production of indigo dye in the Kanto region that boasts a 140-year history. The final color of the dye is not the darker color generally associated with indigo dyeing, but a richly textured "Asagi" color. The stripe pattern with a faint vertical stripe is called "Aojima," which accentuates the color tone.The touchable, soft, and comfortable texture is one of the charms of this samue. With the beauty of the shifting indigo color and the soft, satisfying feel, you can easily enjoy the comfort of this garment and think about Japanese tradition and nature. 100% Cotton Fabric thickness: slightly thin (0.40mm) Recommended season: Spring, Fall Hand wash (Please wash alone as it will transfer dye) Made in Japan Shipping weight: 695g Specifications Jacket: One left front pocket.
