- It has been some time since Pure Blue Japan last introduced a natural indigo ( AI ) denim. Unlike the earlier 17.5oz AI models, this release uses a lighter 13.5oz original fabric, designed for easier, year-round wear. The denim has a smooth hand feel with a gentle, irregular texture that feels well balanced and comfortable on the body.
The warp yarns are hank-dyed with natural indigo by skilled craftsmen based in Tokushima Prefecture, where indigo dyeing has been passed down for generations. Compared to synthetic indigo, natural indigo requires far more time and care, with repeated dyeing and careful control at each stage, making the process both demanding and deeply traditional.
The aging of natural indigo is also different from standard indigo denim. Over time, the color softens and develops uneven, nuanced tones, giving each pair a unique character.
