45R (45rpm) AI INDIGO COTTON TWEED JACKET

BRAND 45R (45rpm).

DESCRIPTION
A stunning jacket from the iconic Japanese brand 45R (45rpm).
Plenty of great details but the main characteristic of this model is the indigo dye process.
Instead of the classic man made indigo, for this vest 45R used a natural Ai indigo. The molecules of the natural indigo are much smaller of those of the man made indigo and therefore will naturally go deeper into the fabric and will fade in a richer and unique way.
It takes more than one year to produce the Ai indigo!

Details include:
- Ai indigo dye.
- Three front pockets.
- One coins pocket inside the right hand pocket.
- Three inner pockets.
- R logo embroidered under the collar.
- Real working cuffs.
- Branded buttons.
- Made in Japan.
- Half lined.
- Hand stitched details.
- Collar can be buttoned up, or left open (as a blazer).
- Hanging loop.
- One spare button.
- UK RRP was £1010.

FABRIC 100% organically grown Zimbabwe cotton.
45R is well known for the incredible quality of their fabric, which are always exclusively made by 45R for their own products only. In this case this slightly uneven and slubby fabric has been named "Cotton Tweed". The fabric is made with a mix different colours treads and Ai indigo dyed treads - in a way that resemble the 剣道着 (kendo-gi) textile fabrication.
Unfortunately the pictures don't do it justice but trust me - it's a real masterpiece!
