Samurai Jeans SJST-SC01 Japanese Cotton T Shirt - Kuri Light
By about 1970 cotton production had effectively ceased as an industry in Japan, with 99.9% of all cotton being imported into the country. In 2008 Toru Nogami, founder of Samurai Jeans, began growing 100% Japanese cotton in Okayama Prefecture, later moving north to rural Hyogo Prefecture. This is the cotton found in this T-shirt.
SAMURAI COTTON PROJECT
The cotton grown at the Samurai Cotton Project plantation is short-staple which results in an extremely slubby handfeel for this tee. The cotton is totally organic - no pesticides or chemicals involved.
This T-shirt is entirely made in Japan - the cotton is from Sasayama, the sewing and dyeing is performed in Kyoto and the knitting in Wakayama.
A note on the Kuri dye from Samurai: "Along with black soybeans, the Sasayama area is also famous for its own brand of chestnuts called 'Tamba' chestnuts. We’ve extracted a dye from the astringent skins of these chestnuts and mixed it up to make a really attractive colour, falling somewhere between beige and brown."
