Description

The Studio D'Artisan 5726 Noragi Kakishibu Persimmon Workshirt is a limited-collection piece produced in an exclusive Japanese Sashiko cloth, designed as a style-forward heritage collector's item. This all-season sashiko cloth, used in martial arts garments for its unique multi-directional flexibility and a textured weave with knit-like properties, is woven with yarns dyed with Kakishibu, a natural persimmon extract and tannin originally used for Samurai and Yamabushi garments in the Heian period. This patterned cloth is enhanced by incorporating slub yarns jacquard-loomed with heavy noragi threads, creating a pronounced dimensional texture upon wearing and washing this hearty, comfortable, and luxurious piece. Noragi Sashiko methods date back to the Edo period in Japan, where reinforcement stitching in white patterning was used on workwear, farming garments, and traditional Japanese kimonos. The Studio D'Artisan Workshirt features a tailored classic fit that suits various body types, and its signature details are inspired by vintage originals, including buttoned chest patch pockets and adjustable button barrel cuffs, finished with custom natural tagua nut buttons. The SDA Noragi Kakishibu Sashiko Workshirt is completely chainstitched throughout, along with felled seams, providing durable, old-world provenance that transports you on a journey into the ancient past through present styles, delivered by a standout 40-year-old producer of heritage denim.
