Tanuki is another brand that's been on our radar for quite some time. The more modern takes on vintage classics were something we always appreciated. And the simplicity of the branding is really alluring to us. We love how they incorporate it in the design of the apparel. They have been one of the most pleasant brands to work with and we can't wait to keep this journey going with a brand that has an eye on the future while keeping one foot in the past.
According to Tanuki, this denim has been heavily requested for years. By now, you've seen many variations of Kakishibu selvedge and it's almost always darker in nature - something closer to brown. Well, Kakishibu dyeing is an ancient natural dyeing process that uses the persimmon fruit to get its color. Persimmons are orange, not brown; you can clearly see that shade in this heavily saturated denim. We've been addicted to this dye since it came into our lives 6 years ago. It adds a perfect warm base which makes for beautiful fading. We love that you can see the orange cast poking through the weave of the twill. And it looks even better when you flip the cuff. The slubby denim combined with this special dye is finished off with their signature Tanuki blue details making what we see as a contender for "pair of the year."
Tanuki creates some of the best fabric we deem good enough to beat its rivals in the industry and delights our customers for both its intense texture and its great fading potential.


Fabric
For quite some time, fans of Tanuki have been eagerly requesting a Kakishibu dyed denim. In response, Tanuki has crafted a kakishibu (persimmon) dyed jeans unlike any other natural dyed jeans released before. The persimmon-colored weft is notably more saturated, eschewing the muted tones of its predecessors. Through daily wear, exposure to sunlight, and air, this denim evolves in both warp and weft simultaneously. With a unique blend of Australian and Texas short staple cotton imbues this denim with a rugged, textured hand feel, combining the best features of Tanuki into a single pair of jeans.


The comfort of Tanuki’s creations stems from the fabric's extra low tension weave, making this mid-heavy fabric feel surprisingly light and breathable—ideal for hot summer days.
