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 💙

Two of Osaka’s finest in their respective fields come together for this collaboration series that puts Japanese denim on the pedestal it deserves. The main body fabric features Fullcount’s “Super Smooth” Selvedge denim, an 11.5oz fabric woven from 100% Zimbabwe cotton, the same long-staple cotton that has been synonymous with the Fullcount name since the brand’s founding. This fabric is the result of thirty years of relentless pursuit of the ideal denim, balancing the authentic character and visual texture of Japanese denim with an uber soft hand-feel.
The secondary materials match the ruggedness of the main fabric. The reinforced panels and structural elements feature CORDURA Ballistic 1680d nylon, with doubled 840d twisted yarns running in both warp and weft directions for enhanced abrasion and tear resistance. The leather trim is 1.8mm eco-natural cowhide leather, that is 100% vegetable tanned with no hexavalent chromium or harmful chemicals used in the process.
Fullcount’s presence is felt throughout the detailing. The brand’s original leather patch, as used on their jeans, sits on the body behind the front pocket, which also features Selvedge detailing. The main compartment uses a YKK AquaGuard zipper with a three-layer waterproof breathable nylon pocket lining for serious weather resistance. The front pocket opens and closes via a FIDLOCK magnetic closure system, combining genuine functional ease with a clean aesthetic.
Finally, on the backpack iteration, the shoulder straps are equipped with Master-piece’s original “M-strap 2” mechanism, engineered to distribute and reduce the load on the body during carry.

For this project, we also wanted to anchor the piece in something distinctly rooted in samurai culture. The name “Yoroi” (鎧) refers to traditional Japanese armor, often seen in deep indigo and striking red tones. While indigo represented practicality and protection, red armor carried its own symbolism. It was associated with strength, courage, and intimidation on the battlefield, designed not only to protect the wearer but to project presence and authority.
This interplay of indigo and red became the foundation for the fabric design of this shirt. To achieve this, we developed a pattern where the rope-dyed indigo dominates the block check areas of the shirt, while the red tones cut through the composition, echoing the bold accents found on traditional Yoroi armor. After going back and forth with the crew in Osaka a number of times, we tweaked the digital fabric simulation (refer to last slide) before settling on this final motif. Upon completion of the digital rendering, the simulation is sent to the shirting weavers in Nishiwaki, Hyogo to be woven as per our specifications on design and weight. Nishiwaki is an area famous in Japan for shirting, historically for dress shirts but for the past few decades have added Nell check heavyweight flannel fabric as a specialization.
But the indigo train doesn’t end there. Samurai have gone the extra mile by dyeing the nut buttons in indigo, ensuring that they also develop a beautiful patina over time, mirroring the shirt’s evolving character. This commitment to detail extends to the construction as well. Along with reinforced elbow panels, triple-needle chainstitching is featured throughout the seam construction of the shirt. This guarantees durability of the shirt, and ensures it will remain a cherished piece in your wardrobe for years to come.
