Futatabi 6.5 Sumi Ai Sorahikohime Zyu

The Blue Rikishi stamp pressed on the inside marks true selvedge denim woven on an authentic gravity loom. The R embroidery is plant‑dyed in a shade inspired by Edo Kobicha, a traditional Japanese brown. Sorahikohime takes inspiration from vintage regular‑straight denim.

— Standard Denim in Sumi‑ai Indigo.

Woven with firmness and bounce from Zimbabwe cotton, Futatabi 6.5 is 45R’s signature 14‑ounce denim, rich with natural irregularities. The stitchwork, focused on points rather than long lines, gives the fabric strength.

After washing and finishing, the sumi‑ai indigo—dyed with an original rope‑dye recipe using Japan’s ink‑black and natural indigo created over more than a year—reveals a deep, expressive tone.

*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.
