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.

Type II jacket with a roomy-by-Japanese-standards fit - so generally true-to-size for Western customers.
