15oz Kanoko Brown Denim
Kanoko (literally "fawn pattern") refers to the young deer, an animal born in summer and long celebrated in Japanese poetry as a seasonal symbol of the season. Both charming and dignified, deer have been revered in Japan for centuries as sacred messengers of the gods.
The inspiration behind this fabric comes from a rare brown denim that was briefly adopted for military use in the early 19th century. During a period of material shortages, logwood—a natural plant-based dye—was temporarily used as an alternative to the limited supply of indigo, giving rise to brown-colored denim.
For this fabric, Samurai Jeans selected Suren dye, a colorfast dye also used in vintage military garments. Unlike indigo, it does not dramatically change color due to weathering or environmental exposure. Instead, it fades naturally into softer tones within the same color family. While the aging process is more subtle than that of traditional indigo denim, wear and abrasion will gradually create distinctive fades and character marks.
The yarn is made from 100% Texas cotton slub yarn, woven with natural nep texture into a rugged 15oz denim fabric.
