New Denim Fabrics From Tanuki Japan

New Denim Fabrics From Tanuki Japan

Our biggest delivery from Tanuki in over two years has landed this week. Three new ultra textured heavyweight fabrics are available in the HT silhouette, by far our best selling shape in the store.Sizima - the result of extensive experimentation with different types of natural dyes. The weft has been dyed with a natural sumi ink (Japanese black ink), giving the indigo an incredible deep blue hue. The fabric comes in at 19oz with the outside mostly made up of Texan cotton which has a rough feel, resulting in a crisp texture. On the inside, a combination of Supima and Californian cotton has been used which is much softer, making it comfortable to wear from day one.Heavy Kusaki - Since the limited release of the 14oz Kusaki fabric from years ago there has been endless requests for another run. Re-introduced in a new 19.5oz, the natural pomegranate rind dyed weft is heavier than ever. Green and yellow nep make subtle appearances throughout in typical Tanuki style. Made from a blend of Texas and Australian cotton for the ultimate balance of rough and soft texture.Miyabi - 3 years in the making with notes taken from Tanuki's now extinct Earth fabric. Clocking in at 18.7oz, the Miyabi fabric is packed with subtle details from the mix of Peruvian & Californian cotton to the natural indigo dying process. The result is a super slubby texture with a fuzzy / hairy surface and hand feel. Expect unique fades with a bunch of variation in hue's of indigo.
