ダブルブレストジャケット

Hunger ren｜Double breasted jacket｜HRJKT001

This jacket uses deadstock Xiangyunsha (silk) with an uneven texture, whose mud-dyed brown color has faded gracefully over many years.As it's intended to be worn as outerwear, we've used a rare, thicker grade of Xiangyunsha.As you wear it more, the brown (mud-dyed) surface will gradually fade in areas subjected to more friction, revealing the underlying orange (dioscorea-dyed) layer. This is a special fabric that truly allows you to "experience aging," as it beautifully transforms and deepens in character over time. The lining is made from unbleached organic cotton.

・Xiangyunsha (Kounsha)

A traditional luxury silk fabric originating from Guangdong Province, China.

Its origins date back to the Ming Dynasty (14th-17th centuries), and it was favored by the upper classes from the Qing Dynasty to the Republican era. This unique fabric is made from high-quality raw silk, then finished with a traditional technique called "dioscorea dyeing." First, it is repeatedly dyed with natural dyes extracted from dioscorea roots. Then, river mud from the Pearl River basin is applied, creating a deep hue and unique luster through a chemical reaction between iron and tannic acid. This complex dyeing process results in a pliable, highly durable, and distinct fabric whose texture improves with age. Due to its rarity and traditional manufacturing methods, it is still protected today as an important intangible cultural heritage.

・Deadstock Xiangyunsha

This is inventory manufactured decades ago, possessing characteristics distinct from modern new products.

Firstly, due to subtle differences in the natural dye formulations and dyeing techniques used by artisans of the time, it possesses a depth of color that is difficult to replicate today. Additionally, having been stored for many years, it has undergone natural aging, resulting in a softer and more supple texture. Deadstock from the 1950s-70s, in particular, often utilized higher quality raw silk than is common today, excelling in luster and strength. It holds greater rarity value compared to contemporary products and is especially prized by collectors and enthusiasts of traditional crafts.
