Herringbone Vintage
This herringbone woven fabric is made of 100% cotton, with a tight weave and a dense texture. It is thick and firm, yet has a moist softness to it.
Herringbone Vintage is dyed using the advanced techniques of Hamamatsu's batch dyers. The biggest feature of this fabric is that while it starts with a vibrant color, it will naturally develop scuffs and marks over years of use, creating a deep and rich aged appearance.

A tightly woven, dense herringbone fabric made of 100% cotton.

To bring out the best in this tightly woven fabric, we employ the "vintage processing" method, which is also the name of "Herringbone Vintage". This method leverages the advanced techniques of batch dyers, passed down for generations in the Enshu region, to achieve vibrant colors without compromising the natural texture of natural materials.


Generally, dyed fabrics undergo strong chemical treatments to mass-produce uniform and clean fabrics. However, while this pre-treatment maintains quality, it can compromise the natural texture of the material itself. Focusing on this, we at our company have reached "vintage processing" by daring to avoid chemical treatments and mechanical tension or pressure, instead relying on traditional artisanal methods to maximize the inherent qualities of natural materials.
The daily production volume is inefficient compared to mass production, and we cannot produce a large quantity at once.
Nevertheless, by slowly and carefully dyeing the fabric over time, the delicate expressions inherent to the material emerge without being lost, resulting in a uniquely natural texture that cannot be replicated.

Unlike fabrics that are distressed through post-processing, this "vintage processing" involves a slow and deliberate dyeing method.
Therefore, the biggest feature of this fabric is that while it starts with a vibrant color, it will naturally develop scuffs and marks over years of use, creating a deep and rich aged appearance.
Generally, aging is something that is absolutely avoided in terms of quality for anything other than jeans, so it is no exaggeration to say that this is a characteristic unique to "Herringbone Vintage".

Available in 10 colors.

Herringbone Vintage is thick and firm, yet has a moist softness. The textured surface is matte, giving a refined and elegant impression to casual items such as jackets, pants, bags, and hats.

Herringbone Vintage becomes more familiar and tailored to your preferences the more you use it.
