Anything Kakishibu dyed, i've just recently learned about this ancient Japanese natural dyeing method using unripe persimmons. Yields warm orange, brown, and rust tones on cotton.
The kicker is: high tannin content naturally repels bugs and fungus, stiffens cotton fibers, adds slight water repellency and the best part color deepens over time from sun exposure, then ages with high-contrast wear. Type III trucker jacket deepening to dark brown instead of fading like indigo sounds amazing.
