Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed

This is a thick cotton-linen fabric that combines moderate firmness with a soft, fluffy texture.
It has a smooth, silky feel and an appealing uneven texture, making it a plain weave/Oxford type suitable for jackets, coats, pants, and skirts.

Made in Japan cotton-linen fabric, spun, woven, and processed domestically.

"Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed" uses both warp cotton yarn and weft cotton-linen blend yarn that are spun in Japan. It is woven in the Enshu region into a plain Oxford weave, with two threads each for the warp and weft. Dyed by artisans in Hamamatsu who are highly knowledgeable about natural materials, this fabric brings out the best qualities of both cotton and linen, resulting in a rich, natural texture.

*Oxford technically refers to Oxford cloth, which is a plain weave fabric where two warp threads and two weft threads are woven together.

Cotton and linen slubs that enhance a rustic look

"Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed" leverages the good qualities of both cotton and linen. By leaving the slubs of cotton and linen clearly visible on the surface, it creates a rustic expression with a linen-like roughness, while achieving a natural texture that feels soft amidst its crispness.

*The appearance of slubs varies depending on whether the color is light or dark.

Supple, fluffy texture and rich feel

"Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed" is characterized by its supple, fluffy texture and rich feel, despite being durable due to its warp and weft threads being doubled. This is further enhanced by the textured weave of the Oxford fabric.

Authentic unevenness born from chance

"Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed" is created using the "Damage Dyed and Washed Processing ddw®" method, which involves directly applying special dyeing to the greige fabric. By authentically recreating the accidental unevenness of dyeing, it creates a vintage look with dye inconsistencies and a faded, textured appearance.

A total of 16 colors to create a tastefully casual impression

"Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed" comes in a range of colors from basic to vibrant, creating a refined casual impression. From the very first wear, the uneven dyeing provides a well-worn texture, and with each subsequent wash, it gradually fades, deepening its character.

*The appearance and degree of dye unevenness vary between dark and light colors.

Damage Dyed and Washed Processing ddw®

Unlike print processing for uneven dyeing, "Cotton Linen Loose Oxford Damage Dyed" employs a method where special damage is applied to the greige fabric directly, and dyeing is performed simultaneously. This process is carefully done one bolt at a time over a long period, without altering the inherent character of the fabric.

Characteristics of the processing

Due to the nature of the damage-dyed and washed processing, there may be streaks, selvage wrinkles, dye unevenness, slubs, neps, and weave wrinkles as shown in the image above. These are not defects but rather part of the natural texture.
