Description

The Shii Tree Dorozome Dyed Supima Cotton Chino Twill Double Layer Work Jacket by amachi. is informed by vintage forestry outerwear and military utility jackets, anatomically designed to combine the ancient with the modern in heritage design crafted for the future. The Double Layer Work Jacket is uniquely designed around the body’s form, with a seamless outer storm-shield shell for the chest, back, and sleeves, over an internal design with articulated set-in sleeves and a center-back pleat that delivers a perfectly draped, directional, utilitarian, relaxed fit. This jacket is crafted from a luxurious and structured 14 oz. Japanese High-Density Twill Chino Cloth, shuttle-loomed in Japan from US-Grown Supima Cotton, inspired by WWII military cloth. Connecting nature to the wearer through a proprietary process performed by artisans trained in millennia-old techniques, this garment is Dorozome mud-dyed in the local iron-rich soil baths of the small island of Amami Oshima, using all-natural extracts derived from the native Japanese Shii Chinquapin tree. Built on traditional Japanese garment-construction methods and raw, natural-dyeing techniques, each piece is one-of-a-kind wearable art that will dramatically evolve with the wearer. Blending antique craftsmanship with modern advancements, this jacket features function-forward elements, including a storm hood and zipped front closure, zipped welt chest pockets, side-entry lower patch pockets, a removable, buttoned patch tool pocket that can attach to either side of the front, and ribbed cuffs on the internal sleeves. Furthering a design crafted for endurance, the Double Layer Work Jacket is finished with Talon nickel zippers and sumi ink-dyed mother-of-pearl buttons, and is single and double-needle constructed with taped and felled seams and bartack reinforcements throughout. Venture into the world with a spirited artistic expression that blends nature and design.
