I picked up a couple pieces from Kapital today and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the sumi-e dyed denim...

I kind of bought it on an impulse, and am leaving Tokyo tomorrow morning so an exchange won't be possible.

It's a tad too big and I was wondering if I could get anymore shrinkage out of these even though they are a one wash? Does anyone know what the process for their one wash is? I was gonna try a couple hot soaks + hot wash + hot dry...

Thoughts please?

Also, does anyone have any idea or photos of how these fade??? Really cool denim...

Also picked up this great indigo dyed short sleeve button up...really really love the indigo color on this thing...

Thanks

SuperRaw - Color of that shirt is beautiful! Do you remember the largest size?

[the bandanna almanac]

I have already posted a in-depth article here on the sumi denim.

And here.

The size on the sumi denim for the waist is wider than before because it is the "New TH" which has a slightly wider waist.

The shirt is a Rayon indigo garment-dyed aloha shirt.

As for shrinking the denim, I would say try a few hot washes, don't hot dry them that just ruins the fibers. Try really hot water...

It will fade rather fast, mine have some decent whiskering.

[SuperRaw]

Thanks Jon, much much appreciated!

@Lance - the largest size available was a size 3 (the one that I grabbed)

It's just right on me...the sleeve holes are a little bit snug...that shirt is damn amazing...

Thanks man, Jon is looking into it for me but I think I'll need a 4. Great pick-up

[SuperRaw]

Jon - have the jeans been anymore worn since you last posted photos of them? If so, would you mind posting some new photos?

How much wear have you gotten on them?

Thanks

Probably won't be able to see much through photos but I'll try.

I haven't given them much wear yet.

I will be honest here, and say it's a cool shirt, but I much prefer the Kountry variations.

Kapital Kakishibu - Persimmon tannin Cisco denim.

[lance]

I likem Jon. And, I think Kapital is the most under rated denim company going. The Zipang TH Ai dyed jeans are beautifully dyed, super stubborn, a great fit, wonderful details and reasonably priced for natural indigo. I'll never figure out why such a great pair of jeans is not more popular?

[the bandanna almanac]

Considering they are one of the only OEM clothing manufactures around it's surprising. But whatever, I prefer the best kept secrets.

[orangetrousers]

+1 for Jon's proxy service. :]
