About the Craft (Dorozome)
Rooted in over 1,300 years of tradition on Amami Oshima island, the rich earth tones and deep, dark shades are created through an intricate natural process using local plant extracts and mineral-dense soil. This denim jacket presents an extraordinary depth of color and natural texture that modern synthetic dyes cannot replicate.

Care Instructions
Machine washable (gentle cycle recommended). However, as this item is hand-dyed with natural dyes, please observe the following guidelines:
• Wash Separately: Wash individually from other items, especially during the first few washes, to prevent color bleeding.
• Detergent: Use neutral detergent or detergent free of fluorescent whitening agents and bleach.
• Drying: May shrink slightly after washing. Reshape and line dry in shade away from direct sunlight or strong light to prevent discoloration. Do NOT tumble dry.
• Moisture & Friction: Do not leave wet for extended periods. Sweat, rain, or friction may cause color transfer to light-colored garments.
• Ironing: Warm iron with a pressing cloth when needed.
• Aging: Colors will naturally and gracefully soften over time with repeated washing and wear.
*Please Note: Due to the 100% manual dyeing process, each piece is unique and slight variations in color tone and precise measurements may occur compared to the images.
