The 'Ai Goku Slub Denim' series pursues the ultimate roughness and weight.
The warp threads, dyed with the traditional Japanese dyeing technique 'persimmon tannin dyeing', are exquisitely harmonised with No. 6 slub yarn and nep yarn, and are gradually beaten to the limit during the weaving process on a power loom, creating a strong unevenness.
The weft threads are made of No. 5 super slub yarn, and the rough and rugged texture of the yarn creates a unique texture that sets it apart from regular denim.
The selvedge has a pattern based on the traditional Japanese persimmon leaf sashiko motif. The unique unevenness and slubby texture are heavy, and the colour and texture of the persimmon tannin dye give it a finish that makes you feel the commitment of Japanese denim that is not found in other denim.
The silhouette is SDA's most basic straight model. The slightly deep rise is a model like an XX type with room, and it is a straight model that anyone can wear regardless of style.
The original copper punched rivets are used, and the patch is an extremely thick goat leather patch. The patch will develop a unique character the more you use it. The front is button fly.
The distinctive selvedge can be rolled up to look different from other denim. It is full of other attention to detail, such as a center-shifted belt loop.
