The Studio D'Artisan SP-120 represents the faithful return of their iconic "Amami Dorozome" series, created specially for their 45th anniversary collection. These extraordinary jeans merge ancient Japanese dyeing traditions with premium denim craftsmanship. Each pair begins as 18oz unsanforized double indigo selvedge denim before embarking on a 1000+ kilometer journey to Amami Oshima island. There, skilled artisans apply the centuries-old Dorozome mud dyeing technique, transforming the fabric through a labor-intensive process. The result is a uniquely rich color that approaches black while retaining subtle hints of blue and brown – a depth impossible to achieve through conventional sulfur dyeing.

The regular straight fit provides timeless styling, complemented by SDA original buttons on the four-button fly, engraved copper rivets, and selvedge button fly construction. Each pair features a special "Amami Dorozome" leather patch commemorating this exceptional series. This collection honors the historical significance of Dorozome, which traditionally used natural dye derived from Sharinbai (Japanese Hawthorne wood chips) to color silk for kimono production. The SP-120 embodies Studio D'Artisan's commitment to preserving traditional Japanese craftsmanshipwhile creating contemporary garments of exceptional quality and character – a fitting tribute to their 45-year legacy.

Fit Notes: As many other SDA Jeans, this Amami Dorozome jeans run slightly small in the one wash version. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
