These jeans are dyed with Bengara, an ancient earth-derived pigment long revered in Japan for its depth, warmth, and durability. Known as the colour of the earth, Bengara has been used for centuries in pottery, lacquerware, and even house painting, prized for its natural insect-repellent and preservative qualities. Unlike plant-based dyes, Bengara offers exceptional resistance to fading, allowing its beauty to endure over time. Because it is a soil-based dye, it is also biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it gentle on both people and the planet.
The result is a soft yet rich earth-red tone that feels warm and organic, developing greater depth and character with wear. Cut from sturdy 14oz denim in the SD-108 silhouette, these jeans feature a relaxed tapered fit that balances comfort with a modern edge. Combining timeless craftsmanship, natural dyeing tradition, and sustainability, they are designed to be worn and cherished for years.
