Brand

SEUVAS is a young Japanese label based in Kurashiki, in Okayama prefecture. Inspired by workwear and military attire, the brand offers garments made from the exceptional Canvas of Takeyari, a local manufacturer that has been producing this material for 130 years. SEUVAS manufactures jackets, shirts, and trousers in natural Canvas in its permanent collection, and each season, it launches a new capsule with organic dyes like matcha tea, coffee, or charcoal.

Material

The Japanese label naturally opts for a 10oz canvas crafted in Kojima, Japan. A true signature of the brand since its inception, the canvas is known and recognized for its durability and strength over time. The roughness that can be seen on the surface of the fabric (like fine particles of cotton husks) adds a certain character to this jacket.

Matcha Natural Dye

After offering its pieces in "Natural" Canvas (untreated and undyed), SEUVAS has introduced them in a lovely Matcha hue. To do this, the Japanese label uses vegetable pigments to achieve a soft and subtle dye. After six months of trials, the brand has perfected its matcha dyes by combining ancient Japanese techniques with modern technology. The goal is to use a low percentage of chemical dyes to prevent fading and enhance the durability of the fabrics while minimizing environmental impact. Made in Kojima, the dye uses matcha leaves to create unique textures and varied colors such as gray and beige thanks to the tannins in matcha. Each piece, hand-dyed, incorporates traditional craftsmanship.

Details

SEUVAS offers us a reinterpretation of the famous "USN Shawl Collar Jacket"! It features the iconic shawl collar along with two patch pockets. At the button placket, there is a hand-painted "Amakusa" porcelain button. To make the fabric more comfortable from the first wear, and also to prevent any shrinking, the jacket has received an initial wash performed by the brand.

Fit

The fit is relatively loose and oversized. Thus, it can be worn with a t-shirt as well as with a hoodie or even in layering.
