Not strictly Fall collection, but here is a sneak peek of the 25oz Anniversary denim (21oz selvedge at bottom of pic). I specced super dark, I think Haraki was listening. As an aside, this denim was really on the limits of what is do-able. It caused the Mill more problems than any other denim they have made and we got the lowest percentage of grade A denim than we have ever got from another run. Haraki alsmost had to live next to the loom whilst it was being made, to keep an eye on it. Given that the Mill is 9 hours drive from Tokyo, this is dedication at its finest…....
i definitely want this !!!! -
damn, so these are slated for September???

Yeah tell us more g. I like the look of this jacket. Looks like still in proto stage?
12oz cotton denim
The wabash is fabric dyed at Sakamoto Denim - A very well respected dyeing factory. http://www.sakamoto-d.co.jp/english/syashi/syashi.htm
The dots are then bleached out of the indigo (this is complicated and difficult - most Wabash you will see has the dots painted on).
When new, the dots have a light green tinge where the bleach reacts with the indigo, but this turns to white with a wash.
Haraki took a long time experimenting until he got the ideal indigo colour.
Haraki specced the denim to be suitable for shirts, jackets, trousers and waistcoats.
This fabric does come with a government health warning. Haraki he say, this material is VERY expensive (his caps).
