TANUKI
【TANUKI】TNK202TB “Yurai” Cobalt Natural Indigo 16.5oz Selvedge High Tapered Jeans
"Yurai"
The idea behind Tanuki's innovative Yurai (由來) collection, is emphasizing a "source" or origin of traditional indigo craftsmanship married with modern techniques and material selection.
The Tanuki Yurai Natural Indigo Type 2 Denim Jacket is crafted from a custom-developed 16.5 oz. selvedge denim fabric that stands out for its unique natural indigo rope-dyeing process used on both warp and weft yarns. The cotton selected is high-absorbency Texas cotton which goes well with natural indigo dye. Then woven under low tension to maintain breathability despite its mid-heavy weight. The result is a fabric that feels rough and dry initially but softens pleasantly with wear. At first the texture is not too visible or strong due to the double dyed yarns. With wear the denim will gradually reveal a subtle slub texture that adds depth and character, with the weft yarns dyed in a unique cobalt blue shade achieved by shorter oxygen exposure during the dip-dyeing process, resulting in a rich contrast and intense blue hues.
This unsanforized denim fabric is designed to develop extraordinary fades over time, reflecting the organic nature of natural indigo as it interacts with wear and light. The fabric's roughness combined with the rich indigo shades and the yellow beige topstitching offers a striking, evolving potential that enhances the fabric’s visual appeal and authenticity.
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
The Tanuki High Tapered fit offers a high-waist, relaxed tapered silhouette, providing ample room in the top block to accommodate stronger thighs. It tapers moderately from the thigh down to the hem. The leg opening has a slim but yet versatile width which is wide enough to pair well with both sneakers and boots.
“We’ve seen many denim made with a cobalt blue weft in different variations. But Tanuki is the only one that does it with rope-dyed natural indigo yarns. The level of expertise required to achieve such a vibrant and visually appealing blue is unquestionable.”

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.
