The leather is sourced as a by–product of farming, then tanned using a recipe developed over a century ago involving barks, natural oils and pigments. Combined with chrome tanning for softness and durability, vegetable tanning offers fullness and an ability for the leather to develop patina.

Relaxed straight-cut shirt with high stand collar, single-button cuffs, and a large left chest pocket. Designed for overdyeing, this piece has been dyed by Kanai Kougei in Amami-Ōshima using the traditional Dorozome mud-dyeing process. The cloth, a high-density cotton linen parachute weave, was first immersed in tannin-rich Teichiki wood dye and then repeatedly treated in iron-rich mud to achieve its depth of colour and natural gradation. Each garment has undergone 25 dye cycles, resulting in subtle variations that will continue to evolve with wear, washing, and sunlight exposure.

R19 Jebok-1 Jebok Coat

The R18S4 "OD Shirt" is a straight cut silhouette that has been over-dyed with natural colouring. Its features include a classic stand collar, full button placket, buttoned cuffs and a large left-chest pocket.

MAN-TLE's dying this season was commissioned to Amami-Oshima based Kanai Kougei. Master craftsman Yukihito Kanai works to preserve the 1300 year old traditional mud-dye techniques of the island, while working to express his own view on the materials within reach. With a personal fascination in gradation and new combinations of colour, this shirt employs pigment of Mangosteen as well as local woods which impart tannins into the fabric that later react to the iron-rich mud found there, developing a dark brown colour. Please note that there may be some irregularities in the cloth — and the colour is designed to evolve with exposure to sunlight and wear.
