A cornerstone of the Osaka 5, a group comprising the leading Japanese denim manufacturers, Studio D'Artisan is a pioneering brand with over 40 years of experience in the field.

The SD-1009 is a tribute to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Made from 15oz selvedge denim woven on the GL3 shuttle loom, the successor to the legendary Toyoda G3, it features an irregular texture and pronounced relief. The High Rise Relax Tapered fit offers a high waist with a comfortable thigh area, tapering gradually to the hem for a modern and versatile silhouette.

The fabric of the SD-1009 stands out for its weaving on the GL3 shuttle loom. This old loom, known for its slow pace and meticulous process, allows for denim with an irregular grain and marked relief. This process enhances texture variations and promotes a unique fade over time. The result is a robust denim, vibrant and deeply rooted in Japanese artisan tradition.

Every detail reflects Studio D'Artisan's commitment to artisanal quality: a 4 button fly adorned with the brand's logo, rear pockets lined with robust duck canvas, engraved copper rivets, and a goat leather patch applied after pre-washing to preserve its neat and smooth appearance.

This jean embodies the essence of Japanese denim, combining traditional weaving techniques and contemporary design, for a piece that will beautifully evolve over time.
