VERY LIMITED EDITION.
Tanuki's newest fabric creation is called the SOGA. A highly textured 15 oz denim made from Texas cotton and botanically dyed with a combination of saffron and turmeric. The yellow-ish colour gives this fabric its name, Soga-iro is a slightly muted yellow colour as to be found in the blossom of the chrysanthemum flower.
The colour was named after the Emperor Ninmyo, who greatly liked the yellow chrysanthemums during the Jowa period (834-848). Soga is a corruption of the word Jowa and sometimes reads "Jowa-iro".
The botanical Dye makes for a stiff fabric at first but with some wear, it will become smooth and soft like most of Tanuki's fabric.
