#184 PersimmonXCharcoal Chinos

This fabric is a pure representation of ancient production methods and a rare example of how beautiful a piece of fabric can be. This is the type of fabric that you will most likely never see another brand using. If you did, it would be a $400 pair of chinos or shirt. They are costly due to all the intricate hand processing, but you end up with something stunning that almost nobody else in the world will ever get to experience.

The mill that makes these fabrics in Japan is a true anachronism, in the best sense of the word. It’s a tiny family run operation that has a complete devotion to making fabric the old-fashioned way. Each style uses hank (hand) dyed yarns. This is an ancient dye technique that is incredibly time consuming but represents the original methods used by true fabric artisans. The dye stuffs themselves are equally impressive. Persimmon extract for the browns and charcoal extract for the greys. A supple plain weave is used and the yarns have wonderful slubbiness that create great texture in the fabric surface. Rare and beautiful, this fabric will make for the most unique chinos you own.
