Say hello to the only bag you need this summer. Summer is a celebration of life, spending more time outdoors with your loved ones and maximizing the weekends with outings and adventures. Our latest creation is a celebration of Natural Indigo & Sashiko, elements of wearable art woven into the DNA of OKAYAMA DENIM. We wanted this bag to serve your every need in the most functional, without over engineering a classic tote. The biggest caveat in the design process was ensuring the beautiful inlay would be celebrated the way cherish varying Sashiko patterns. What better way to do that than to simply turn the tote inside out and have an entirely new aesthetic. Built to last with the best materials, no corners were cut with the development of these pieces.
The body is comprised of a No. 8 canvas sourced from Okayama, the same region that was Japan’s largest producer of Hanpu (帆布) sailcloth long before denim took over as the area’s defining textile identity. The No.8 fabric weave chosen was the perfect middle-ground found in order to balance weight and rigidity for this bag project. The OD logo is screenprinted directly onto the canvas in color, kept clean and legible against the natural fabric face.
The lining is where things get interesting. Each bag is lined with a Natural Indigo Sashiko fabric from Tsujimura-Ai, whose Kasezome-dyed (Skein-dyed) cloth has appeared in a number of our collaborations and continues to be one of our favorite materials to work with. Because of the way the bag is constructed, it is fully reversible, meaning the Sashiko lining can be worn facing outward if you want to lead with that side of the story. Four fabric variations are available across the collection, giving each bag its own character while sharing the same meticulous construction and base canvas fabric.
The Okayama Denim Natural Indigo Sashiko Lined Canvas Tote Bag Collection, available in four varying Natural Indigo Sashiko inlay fabrics, hit the site tonight (6/3 @ Midnight JST).

Introducing one of the most innovative Selvedge compositions we’ve seen to date, the 二藍 (Futa-Ai) denim features a Warp of blended Tokushima Natural Indigo and Madder dye.
This color has existed since the Heian period and was once reserved for the aristocracy due to its refined, complex hue. The combination of indigo’s depth and madder’s warmth produces a beautifully nuanced purple shade. Combining a variegated set of yarns to serve as the Warp allows not just for a hue that is unique to this proprietary denim, this combination of varying yarns kicks the texture on the face of the fabric into overdrive. Aesthetically, upon first glance they have the distinct “rain” streaking running down the fabric as is usually seen in Tokushima Natural Indigo jeans.
The Studio D’Artisan “Futa-ai” Type 1 Selvedge Jacket drops tonight (5/29 @ Midnight JST).

Developed exclusively alongside Japan Blue, the new 11oz. Selvedge retains the hallmark airy feel and explosive nep texture that defined the earlier versions, but now arrives with a more sophisticated hand feel and improved structure. The fabric balances breathability with character in a way few lightweight denims can achieve, making it suited for warmer climates without sacrificing the visual depth and irregularity that Denimheads know and love.

Meaning “third generation” in Japanese, the term 三世 (Sansei) felt particularly fitting for what is now the third incarnation of the Dog Days project. More than just a sequel, this latest iteration represents the culmination of years of refinement, experimentation, and an uncompromising pursuit to recapture the spirit of the original while pushing the fabric further than before.

Cut in Japan Blue’s tapered silhouette, the jeans feature ample room in the rises and thigh area, along with an aggressive taper from the knee down to deliver a flattering aesthetic.

For this fresh denim development, we have renewed the construction details which will become a mainstay in our new lineup. Along with the heavyweight Tochigi leather patch and indigo-dyed pocket bags featuring updated logo artwork, we also developed a blue and red rayon tab to represent the Japanese “Rising Sun” Flag and Indigo Blue.
The OD+JB 11oz. “Dog Days Sansei” Nep Selvedge Jeans are now live on the site in two silhouettes, Tapered & Regular Straight.

A term reserved for the hottest days of the year, our beloved “Dog Days” denim felt like a distant piece of OD history for a moment there after the weaving mill that produced our first iteration went defunct during Covid in 2021. Fast forward a few years and a couple rounds of sampling and denim development with our fam over at Collect Mill, and the third iteration of the only pair worth mentioning once summer time hits is back!
The OD➕JB 11oz. “Dog Days Sansei” Nep Selvedge Jeans, available in both the Tapered & Regular Straight silhouettes hit the site tonight (5/27 @ Midnight JST).

三世 (or Sansei in Japanese) refers to the third generation of a family. In the case of our beloved summer denim, the new and improved “Dog Days” Selvedge is finally back in its third iteration after an over five year hiatus in production.

One of the most important elements of this latest development from yours truly are the pocket bags. In fact you could say the genesis of this project was birthed from the pocket bags, because we had purchased the last roll of this coveted Indigo Jacquard block check sail cloth from Takeyari Canvas more than five years ago. Takeyari Canvas is a powerhouse in Okayama since over a century ago, as one of the leading producers of Okayama’s famed canvas sail cloth. Since their inception in 1888, they have been supplying ships and boats with sail cloth, as well as artists for painting canvases, and now more recently used for clothing and luggage. With the indigo dyed nature of these pocket bags, these are guaranteed to age incredibly with wear.
The Indigo Sashiko Selvedge fabric of the pants themselves are a story as well. This combination of a lighter base (an indigo hue known as Asagi in Japanese) combined with the darker Sashiko threads (or Kon in Japanese) is a color combination in Sashiko that we’ve never come across before. We found the fabric is the storage of a fabric dealer in Okayama who said it was likely woven in the late 80s and he only had about 23 meters of it, or less than half a roll. It was heavily sun damaged and obviously not fit for production, but we were so enamored by the fabric composition and contrasting hues of indigo, that we decided to produce the fabric again by reverse engineering that half roll we got our hands on. So back in 2020, we went to our friends in Ibara, Okayama. The famed artisanal Selvedge Mill known as Nihon Menpu, to have them use their expertise to reverse engineer and create the exact fabric again on scale.
So there you have it, a project that in combination took over five years to come together mostly because we were just collecting and developing without a clear goal in mind. Yet by doing so, we were able to take our time and try something completely new, which is what we did with this project with the painter pant homage.

Let’s just start by calling it as it is - the epitome of subtle Selvedge. This function of this feature on classic Double Knee Painter Pants is to serve as a hammer loop. A true nod to the DNA of this silhouette, a true workwear classic.
Another wild detail is the woven name label, except there’s no name. Weaving in our collection of Deadstock vintage kimono, this one was an indigo discharge dyed kimono we fell in love with. So we did something we weren’t sure would even work, but we had to give it a try. We sent the full kimono roll to a ribbon maker, who have the appropriate cutting machines to cut ribbon length pieces often used in packaging in Japan. They agreed to cut our new original “Kimono Tab” label you’ll will find in some of our other upcoming pieces 💙
The Okayama Denim Double Knee Indigo Sashiko Painter Pants hit the site tomorrow night (4/28 @ Midnight JST)!
