Tanuki Miyabi Type 3 Jacket Size 44 (43” actual) - MI1916JKT3, Japanese selvedge

A seriously well-crafted Japanese selvedge jacket with type 3 design and pockets. Features a ton of intricate stitching, deer skin patch, red-white Ni stripes, and Tanuki hardware. Just too big for me to fit well. Denim is blue-green and will fade beautifully with age. Washed once to shrink. 43” pit to pit. 27.5” length. 25.5” sleeves. About the fabric: “This one is special for us because it has been in the work forever. The MIYABI (雅) fabric is an updated version of the Earth fabric. This fabric clocks in at 18.7oz and packs quite a few features. First of all, we used unbleached organic Peruvian cotton for the weft which has a great feel. Combining that with a warp consists of Texas and Californian cotton gives us a texture that is stiff and crips, almost like paper, has a lot of fuzziness. There is a lot of slub happening here which allows for some of the off-white weft to peak through the surface. If you look closer, you will see different variations of blue hues. For this fabric, we used a combination of natural and pure indigo which will result in some beautiful fades.”
