JACKET#64 COTTON HEMP DENIM SUMI KAKISHIBU by Jan-Jan Van Essche COLLECTION#16 - NASHAT (SS26).

DENIM STYLE WORKWEAR JACKET WITH YOKE, UNLINED.

THIS RUGGED DENIM FABRIC ARRIVES AT ITS AMBIGUOUS COLOUR THROUGH AN ELABORATE DYING PROCESS. THE WARP IS MADE OF SUMI-DYED THREAD, WHILE THE WEFT REMAINS WHITE. THE FABRIC IS THEN APPLIED WITH KAKISHIBU AND AN IRON MORDANT, THEN FINALLY SUN-DRIED. THE SUMI AND KAKISHIBU INTERACT AS HINTS OF BROWN EMERGE UNDER BRIGHTER LIGHT, LAYERING TO BUILD AN INTRIGUING COLOUR. 

THIS FABRIC HAS BEEN DYED NATURALLY. DUE TO THIS PROCESS, IRREGULARITIES MAY APPEAR AND ARE TO BE CONSIDERED PART OF THE DESIGN.
