Sashiko actually is a type of fabric weave as well, its most commonly used in Gi's and other martial arts clothing. It's also called rice weave or in the west we know it as Dobby. It's all the same.

Hey ! To answer some of your questions, The leather patch is sheepskin, even in Japan. Momotaro uses occasionally deerskin but not on this product. For the indigo dye, the threads used for the momotaro's sashimi is not dyed as intensely as for their jeans, that's why the colour look lighter. Also every Momotaro's products are one washed, and the dye is inevitably altered in the process, but no bad shrinking surprises ! For the painting, Momotaro uses a screen printing techniques for all printings. So as the fabric as a lot of textures, it's a bit harder to have a perfect clean print on this particular fabric. For the regular 2nd type denim jacket, no pink stitches as the inseam of their jeans, but it's selvedge ! Same pink as for their jeans !

Sashiko is a method of weaving fabric in addition to being a stitching/repair method. So while we think of sashiko as the fun patterns we use to mend our jeans & other clothes, this jacket's material being called sashiko is also correct.

Hey, your local Japanese guy here (technically half-japanese... and born and raised in Sweden... but still!) and also proud owner of a sashiko jacket, although from Japan Blue! About the sashiko aspect of the jacket: It's in the style of Dogi (martial arts clothing), which used to be made by hand stitching, but because of cost efficiency and technological advancements, nowadays use a special kind of loom to weave the sashiko (also called sashiko-ori or sashi-ori) into the fabric, which creates a more uniform look than the boro style that is more "authentic" sashiko. If you look at the blue "dots" of the jacket, you can see that they are in fact, small stabs. which is what sashiko can be translated as! Tldr: The jacket is in fact a sashiko jacket, but uses a modern loom to create the fabric instead of hand stitching. Hence, it's not because these jackets are often "sashikoed" that they're called sashiko jackets, but because of the sashiko-ori fabric itself.

The age old saying is true once again!

Soaking your clothes in water to either enter (yeah don't do that) or escape a fire is probably one of the surest ways to boil yourself alive. Water soaked fabrics conduct heat WAY faster than dry ones. If you ever find yourself trapped in a fire you would be much better off shielding yourself with something dry and organic like a wool blanket than something wet or synthetic. All that said that was a pretty neat bit of history, video is MUCH LIKE
