The Studio D'Artisan D1908 Bengara Selvedge Jeans celebrate centuries-old Japanese dyeing traditions through authentic Bengara iron oxide. Derived from iron-rich soil, this deep, warm red coloration has been treasured for generations, extending beyond textiles to lacquerware and ceramics. Crafted from 14oz original unsanforized selvedge denim, these jeans undergo sustainable Bengara dyeing where iron oxide combines with water and is hand-kneaded into the fabric, creating distinctive earthy rust-red tones. Unlike plant-based dyes, Bengara offers exceptional longevity with remarkable fade resistance, ensuring the rich, earthy hue deepens beautifully with age.

Coming in a relaxed tapered silhouette, these jeans feature premium details including 4-button fly, original Studio D'Artisan buttons, engraved copper male/female rivets, heavy duck canvas pocket bags, fifth pocket selvedge detail, and signature "Bengara" leather patch. The center belt loop offset adds authentic vintage detailing. Made from 100% cotton, the final one-wash treatment provides immediate comfort while preserving the fabric's natural character.

Fit Notes: SDA Jeans usually run slightly small, but this is not the case with the Kyoto Super Black Jeans. We find them to be true to size, so we recommend selecting your usual size. As always, we suggest checking the size chart to ensure the best fit. The fabric is unsanforized, but since the jeans have been pre-washed, no shrinkage is expected.
