Sashiko Denim Shorts

Estimated production time: approximately 50 hours
Approximate sashiko thread used: 200 m
Made entirely from new denim remnants, including Japanese selvedge denim woven in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture.
Remnants sourced from the textile region are arranged over the master pattern, then hand-stitched vertically into a single cloth using sashiko thread dyed with natural indigo through the traditional Tsugaru “Jigokudate” method. Each boundary is further stitched with unbleached cotton thread, reinforcing the cloth while defining its structure.
Every sashiko stitch is sewn by hand, leaving the marks of the making process visible on both the front and reverse. The shorts have generous side pockets and a dedicated smartphone pocket on the right side.
