I am thinking to start a new project naming “100 of Sashiko x Denim Jeans”. To complete my confidence in Sashiko & Denim, I plan to offer the service with the minimum fee for Sashiko Denim work, for denim with your story. I will update the detail soon, but there is some condition such as this is requires the Sashiko on the actual denim fabric (Patchwork is okay, but not only that).

I started stitching on Denim about 10 years ago to avoid wearing the Sashiko workman pants in our previous studio. I simply didn’t like the outfit of the workman uniform. (Now I think it is cool to wear, but I liked Denim Jeans more). I was allowed to be selfish – spoiled son of the president. Yet, I wanted to have Sashiko for some advertisement purpose. It was a way to wear Sashiko without being too Japanese looking. Now, I feel stitching on Denim is my passion, yet I still feel I could use some improvement to be fully confident. I stopped purchasing new cloth about 3 years ago, and has been doing fine with a few pieces of denim… so I don’t have any more denim to do stitching on :D. Adding your story to the 100 of Denim would be very honorable. I will share the detail of the project soon. ☆
「仕事中は刺し子の作務衣でも着てたら良いんじゃない?」と苦言を呈されてた昔。でもどうしても嫌でした(笑)。その後、刺し子そのものは好きになったのだけど、でもなーんか職人さんが着ている作務衣を着るのがどうも嫌で、結局毎日履いてるジーンズに刺し子をしたら良いんじゃないの?と思い出して始めたデニム x 刺し子。お伝えしたいのは、きっかけは「カッコいいから刺し子デニム」じゃなくて、「刺し子を現代で身につける為に苦肉の策で始めたのが刺し子デニム」ということ。勿論、その後は「カッコいいから」続けてるんだけども。そんな僕の原点とも言える刺し子とデニム。まだまだ経験も知識も足らないな……と思うので、100本のデニムを刺し子しようと思っています。また詳細はブログにて紹介します〜!

🙏🙏🙏
I’m all in, and in the next county over to the west of your county.
色んなデニムに出会えそうですね♪ 見せて頂ける❤️ 私たちは、また、楽しみが増えます🤣✨
looking forward to learn more about your project. the moment i started mending my and my partner’s denims has changed so much in my approach to clothes amd fashion, and also in practices like doing things slowly and by hand. and it made me appreciate traditional techniques to repair, mend, make, maintain a lot more. also thinking about the ancestry of things, like denim. 🙏
💙
I am starting to love working on my jeans. Best time of the day for me.
