Tanuki NT Natural Indigo Tapered Jeans

The Tanuki NT (Natural Indigo Tapered) is made with a unique natural indigo dyed fabric that will result in beautiful fades with a strong character. Made with Texas cotton and using a low-tension weave applied on the shuttle loom, the fabric is dyed in natural indigo, and the colour is deep and rich with tons of character. Fibres saturated with pure organic indigo produce a bouquet of blue shades and a slightly woolly and slubby outer appearance. The time-honoured tradition of nurturing live indigo has been perfected to create a natural indigo fabric unlike anything seen or felt before. Decades of experience setting a new standard for the future.

The jeans are made with all the superior-quality Tanuki details such as copper buttons, Tanuki logo embroidered back pocket detail and the iconic Tanuki custom vegetable-tanned deerskin leather patch.

The cut is a modern tapered fit, simple taper from the knee down with a close leg opening, still offering plenty of room in the thigh and top block with a mid-rise.

Near the back pocket, there is the embroidered Tanuki 二 (Ni) logo, two parallel lines in Japanese Kanji representing the number 2. The lower line represents the past, tradition, the standard, peace. The upper line represents the future, change, strength. The red and blue colours of their logo refer to Japan’s flag, honouring their roots as denim artisans.

The Tanuki brand was established in 2016 in Okayama Prefecture. It comprises a small group of great artisans who are passionate about denim and boast more than 30 years’ experience in other brands in the industry. If there is something that characterizes Tanuki garments in addition to its modern cuts, it is the quality and variety of its fabrics, with prime importance given to the best cottons, natural indigo and the application of different types of tension on the shuttle looms when producing the fabrics.
