The Studio D'Artisan SP-117 represents a magnificent celebration of the brand's 45th anniversary through their innovative "Ai-Sa" collection. These special-edition jeans honor Japan's deep connection to seasonal beauty by incorporating traditional Kusakizome plant dyeing techniques into premium denim craftsmanship. Crafted from 15oz unsanforized selvedge denim, these jeans feature a conventional rope-dyed indigo warp paired with a truly unique cherry blossom tree bark-derived weft. This natural dyeing process creates a subtle pink hue throughout the fabric, symbolizing Japan's beloved sakura season.

The tapered silhouette offers a contemporary fit while maintaining Studio D'Artisan's commitment to traditional construction. Each pair showcases premium details including original SDA buttons on the four-button fly, engraved copper male/female rivets, and 45th anniversary herringbone pocket bags. The contrasting back pocket stitchingprovides visual interest, while the offset center belt loop and fifth pocket selvedge detail demonstrate meticulous attention to detail. The SP-117 embodies centuries of Japanese natural dyeing heritage, bringing the poetic beauty of sakura into everyday wear. This harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovative textile development captures the essence of Studio D'Artisan's legacy while demonstrating their continued commitment to pushing the boundaries of artisanal denim expression.

Fit Notes: As many other SDA Jeans, the Earth jeans run slightly small in the one wash version. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
