Description

The Studio D'Artisan 4598 Arrow Yagasuri Vest is a limited collection piece produced in an exclusive Japanese Indigo Sashiko cloth for a style-forward heritage collector's item. Kasuri dyeing methods go back to the Edo period in Japan, where indigo and a resist dye were commonly used for the natural white patterning associated with traditional Japanese garments and kimonos. This Sashiko Vest has a Yagasuri arrow motif iconic to ancient samurai garments in an all-season double-woven sashiko cloth utilized in martial arts garments for its unique multi-directional flexibility and textured weave with knit-like properties that create a hearty, comfortable, and luxurious piece. With a tubular baffle quilted 150-gram fill and cotton/polyester blended canvas lining, this vest will provide evenly distributed insulation while draping close to the body in a tailored fit. The Studio D'Artisan Arrow Vest is inspired by vintage western and workwear pieces with refined elements like patch front pockets, a curved front western-styled hem, a matte black snapped placket, and is trimmed with indigo-dyed corduroy on the collar, placket, armholes, pockets, and hem. The SDA Arrow Yagasuri Indigo Sashiko Vest is finished with banded and felled seams and bartack reinforcements throughout, providing durable, old-world provenance that enables a journey into the ancient past through present styles, transported to you by a standout 40-year-old producer of heritage denim.
