Perfect blue!
Samurai's latest batch of "Broken Lattice" natural indigo garments combine the beauty and skill of traditional Japanese indigo dyeing techniques with amazing fabric design and construction.
These shorts are constructed with Japanese medium-weight jacquard woven fabric, specially developed by Samurai. The multi-hued indigo colourway is created using a traditional natural indigo-dyeing technique called kasezome. Performed by Samurai's highly skilled craftsmen, this process involves dipping coils of undyed yarns into vats of natural indigo and letting them dry and oxidise to enhance the colour. This process is repeated multiple times to achieve the desired depth of colour. These yarns are slowly woven together using vintage jacquard machines to produce this amazing 'broken lattice' pattern, which has an amazing three-dimensional texture! With wear and washing, it will slowly age to a beautiful high-contrast look, with more hues of indigo appearing!
Construction-wise, these shorts feature a combination of single-needle and chain stitching to ensure maximum durability! These shorts feature a zip fly for practicality, with a large polished nut button to complement the natural indigo colourway nicely! Heavyweight cotton twill has been used for the pocket bags to ensure durability! The drawstring waist ensures you can always get the perfect fit!
If you are looking for a pair of shorts with a relaxed, casual vibe featuring traditional Japanese natural indigo, Samurai is an ideal choice!
