This jacket uses deadstock Xiangyunsha (silk), which has a unique unevenness due to its mud-dyed brown color fading beautifully over many years. To make it suitable as an outer layer, we've used a rare, thick Xiangyunsha fabric. As you wear it, the brown surface (mud dye) will gradually fade in areas with more friction, revealing the orange (dioscorea cirrhosa dye) beneath. This makes it a special fabric where you can truly experience "aging" as it develops a deeper character over time. The lining is a luxurious specification featuring 100% quilted wool. It offers excellent warmth while being lighter than traditional cotton materials.

・Xiangyunsha

A traditional, high-quality silk fabric originating from Guangdong Province, China.

It dates back to the Ming Dynasty (14th-17th centuries) and was favored by the upper classes from the Qing Dynasty through the Republican era. This unique fabric is made by weaving fine raw silk and then finishing it with a traditional technique called "Dioscorea Cirrhosa Dyeing." First, it is repeatedly dyed with natural dyes extracted from the roots of the dioscorea cirrhosa plant. Then, river mud from the Pearl River basin is applied, creating a deep color tone and distinctive sheen through a chemical reaction between the iron content and tannic acid. Through this complex dyeing process, a flexible, durable, and characteristic fabric is produced, whose texture deepens with age. Due to its rarity and traditional manufacturing method, it is still protected as an important intangible cultural heritage.

・Deadstock Xiangyunsha

This refers to unused stock produced decades ago, possessing characteristics distinct from modern new products.

Firstly, the natural dye formulations and dyeing techniques used by artisans of that era differed subtly, resulting in deep color tones that are difficult to reproduce today. Furthermore, having been stored for many years, it has undergone natural aging, developing a softer and more supple texture. Deadstock from the 1950s-70s, in particular, often used higher quality raw silk than is available today, making it superior in luster and strength. It is more valuable than modern products and is especially prized by collectors and enthusiasts of traditional crafts.
