Futatabi 6.5 Sumi Ai Sorahikohime Nou
The Bullmarine Rikishi stamp pressed on the inside is proof of true selvedge denim woven slowly on a vintage gravity loom. The R embroidery is plant‑dyed in a shade inspired by Edo Kobicha, a traditional Japanese brown. Sorahikohime follows the honest, regular‑straight silhouette modeled after vintage denim.
— Standard Denim in Sumi‑ai Indigo.
Woven firmly and loosely from Zimbabwe cotton, Futatabi 6.5 is 45R’s signature 14‑ounce denim with bold, uneven texture. I
ts stitchwork is built on deliberate points rather than long lines, giving the fabric a grounded strength. The deep sumi‑ai indigo—rope‑dyed with an original recipe using Japan’s unique ink‑black tone and natural indigo extracted over a year from plant leaves—creates a quietly rich depth.
*The color gently fades over time due to the natural characteristics unique to indigo dye. Please wash by itself or with similar colors. Cherish your indigo products just like our beloved bunny friend, and enjoy them while being mindful of the following points of caution.
