SD-1101W 13.5oz ISHIKAWADAI - REGULAR STRAIGHT

The SD-1101W 13.5oz Ishikawadai Regular Straight from Studio D’Artisan is a selvedge jean crafted from the brand’s original Ishikawadai denim, a 13.5oz fabric developed using Deep South Cotton grown in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas. The yarn is produced on an antique Japanese Ishikawadai spinning machine dating back to 1953, whose slow production speed creates a natural irregularity similar to a hand-spun finish. The regular straight cut is inspired by 1950s jeans, featuring a one-wash finish and cotton thread stitching designed to evolve as the fabric fades.

Conceived as a heritage denim with high textile value, the SD-1101W fits naturally into a Japanese workwear wardrobe, worn with a hickory shirt, a denim jacket, or a simple knit. Its dense yet nuanced fabric gradually develops wear marks, enhancing the personal character of the jeans. It embodies a durable piece, built to age with depth and recapture the spirit of vintage denim through its material, cut, and the passage of time.
