We are dropping our 2nd Cowboy Cut buckle back jean in the very beautiful Natural Indigo from the Tokushima region of Japan which is the best in natural indigo in the World in the very slubby 17 oz denim. This is very limited, 25 pieces preorder online and 20 pieces will be saved for in store in both NY and LA.

Here at Left Field we have never seen a more unique and beautiful denim in my 25 years. The slub yarns vary in thickness, with some individual yarns going thick to thin thru out the individual yarn similar to a hand spun Khadi yarn. The effect of the slub denims in the warp create a look that they refer to as "falling rain". The denim is a Hank Dyed natural plant dyed Indigo. In order to Hank Dye denim, a master craftsman dips the yarn skein into a vat of Natural Indigo and hand twist the Indigo deep into the yarn core. The nature of this process produces yarns with varying depths of Indigo Hues giving it a subtle variegated indigo warp. This denim is dyed in the most famous Indigo dying center in Japan, Tokushima Prefecture.

Indigo dyeing in Tokushima Prefecture developed in the climate of the Yoshino River basin.

The Yoshino River is one of the three most rampaging rivers in Japan, and is called " Saburo Shikoku " along with Taro Bando and Jiro Chikushi . Every flood brought fertile soil that was suitable for the cultivation of indigo , making it a major production area.

Thanks to the encouragement of Yoshishige Hachisuka , the first lord of the Tokushima Domain in Awa Province , the production of indigo was at its peak during the Edo period. Because of its high quality, Awa indigo is called “ Sho-ai ” and other indigo is called “ Ji-ai ”, and has been prized all over the country. In Tokushima, there are a few remaining facilities that tell the story of the achievements of the indigo merchants of that time.

This run on Tokushima denim was done custom for us with a green selvedge and Is sanforized unlike the previous run. This will be instore next week in NY and Los Angeles and shipping orders shortly after. Limited run on this custom Left Field Tokushima Ai denim!
