Introducing Japanese Indigo textiles made by imitating patterns expressed by stitching, known as Sashiko-ori (or Sashi-ori).
Many of you may recognize this Japanese Indigo fabric as used for judo uniforms and similar items.
Originally, Japanese Indigo Sashiko was developed to make cloth thicker for warmth.
Among stitch weave fabrics, judo gi is hard and cannot be sewn with a household sewing machine because it uses extra-thick threads. However, Bingo-Fushiori's Sashiko is crafted with Japanese Indigo for clothing, making the material soft and easy to handle.
After all, Sashiori is characterized by its unique grain-like unevenness.
This cannot be woven on a shuttle loom. He uses a dobby loom, which can weave complicated patterns.
The warp threads are raised and lowered by the heddles (the frame through which the warp threads pass), which are equipped with a dobby device that controls the warp threads.
The size of the grains can be changed, but the grains are not too fine or too large, and are just the right size for a good touch.
The weight is about 400 g/m, which is not too heavy.
It is a beautiful dark blue color with a vintage feel and ages wonderfully as it is used.
It is also popular among our overseas customers, and is tailored into outerwear and pants.
Some of our customers have made such cool caps!
It is a material that retains heat, is durable, and can be used for a long time.
I personally love this fabric, and I would be happy if you could hold it in your hands.
