The GL3, created half a century ago by Toyota Automatic Loom Works, is one of Japan's earliest power looms. Due to the lack of replacement parts, the only way to maintain it is to extract parts from discarded machines of the same type. It requires considerable effort to maintain, and in addition, it can only weave a mere 5 meters per hour, making it an inefficient loom. However, the denim woven on this GL3 possesses a ruggedness and rawness similar to that of denim from half a century ago, making it a one-of-a-kind loom that can express workwear denim.

D'Artisan's new standard SD-1000 series 'GL3 Series' utilizes the characteristics of this GL3 to the fullest by using denim made with D'Artisan's original recipe in terms of yarn texture, yarn count, rope-dyed color, and the number of warp and weft threads. It has a unique unevenness and roughness that cannot be expressed by modern denim, which is produced efficiently and uniformly. This is a confident piece that was completed only after repeated test weavings without any compromises.
