Full Count Early 1900s Persimmon Tannin Dye Heavy Duck Chore Jacket

Persimmon "kakishibu" tannin dyeing has been practiced for over a thousand years, long before chemical dyes existed. Persimmon dyeing has the effect of strengthening the fabric and repelling water. The duck fabric, which was dyed at a factory in Shiga Prefecture that has been in business for over 70 years, changes to a darker color when exposed to the sun, and even changes color in response to heat and rain, making it a material that allows you to enjoy the rugged aging of the material, somewhat like leather. This is a short length chore jacket with shaped pockets, a collar with no lapel, and original change buttons as seen in the 30s and before. This jacket can be worn as a set with the work pants made of the same material.
