Studio D'Artisan XXX-28











Studio D'Artisan is one of the oldest denim repro brand. The brand is usually represented by an Oki Nii, a pig. This model, with cut based on their famous SD101 version ie sit on lower waist and slimmer straight, weight at 15oz, is made of 100% Zimbawee cottons and hand dyed with polygonum tinctorum natural indigo from Tokushima Prefecture for a staggering 28 times! It looked almost black. Both patches are made from cordovan leather. One is placed within the left hand back pocket. I am not sure why SDA wants to do that. Both back pockets are lined with additional fabric, like Evisu. There is no red tag, but instead a brand tag could be found on the top coin pocket. The belt loop on the back is off center, like 501XX '55. The selvedge is pinkish in color. It came in a carton box, as well as a silk screened denim banner as freebie. Limited to 161 pairs, domestic market release only.
