TANUKI
【TANUKI】TNK103KH Kakishibu 15oz Selvedge Loose Straight Jeans
For quite some time, Tanuki fans have been eagerly requesting a Kakishibu-dyed denim. In response, Tanuki has created a pair of Kakishibu (persimmon) dyed jeans that stand apart from any other natural-dyed denim released before. The persimmon-colored weft is notably more saturated, carefully avoiding the muted tones seen in previous industry releases. Over time, through daily wear, exposure to sunlight, and air, this denim evolves in both the warp and weft simultaneously. The kakishibu dye interacts with denim by tinting wear areas with reddish-brown highlights as the indigo fades, resulting in remarkable contrast and depth.
Texas & Australian cotton
While Texas cotton is commonly used in selvedge denim to emphasize ruggedness or replicate the original American denim's rough hand feel, Tanuki consistently seeks innovation through the use of various cotton types. In this case, an Australian cotton, often found in high-end bedding sets, is blended into the denim. The result is a fabric that strikes a perfect balance—rugged yet soft—combining the best of both worlds.
Extreme Low Tension
Fabrics in Tanuki's denim collection are crafted using a technique that is known, yet hasn't been employed in over 30 years. The result is a denim with a unique hand feel and wearing experience that is unmatched by others. One of the most noticeable features is its air-ventilating quality when exposed to wind. The air flows easily through the fabric to reach your skin. This gives all Tanuki denim a lighter feel than the specified weight (oz).
Fit
Loose Straight: Tanuki’s new 103 fit features a high rise and a slightly relaxed thigh with relax hem width. The leg falls straight from the thigh with no taper, finishing in a roomy, straight leg opening. It delivers easy comfort with a modern take on a vintage wide-straight silhouette.
“Overall, this fabric combines traditional craft, natural beauty, and functional advantages that distinguish the Tanuki Kakishibu from typical denim.”

General Care & Precautions
All primary-color denim and blue-dyed products may cause dye transfer. Please pay attention to the contact of new products with light-colored clothing and furniture. This phenomenon will gradually improve after the first few washes.
We recommend adding a laundry bag to all laundry; never drying; never using softener; and never using laundry detergents that contain bleach.
It is the most recommended way if you can wash with soft wash and low speed function.Please note that all indigo product including raw denim can “bleed” causing the transfer of indigo blue color from your garments to other surface like white tshirt or light color shoes. The “bleeding” will lessen with wear and after first several washes.
We high recommend you to put all your cloth in a wash bag when doing laundry.Please never use tumble dry on quality goods; never use softener; never use detergent that contain bleach.
If possible, wash your cloth in a low-spin speed to protect the garment.
