The "Ishikawadai" series is an extraordinary creation that transports us back to 1953, when it was crafted by Ishikawa Seisakujo. This Japanese ring-spinning machine, produced by the same company, is considered the oldest of its type still in use today. Despite its age, it possesses exceptional traits that make it a treasured artifact in the realm of textile manufacturing.
In contrast to modern ring-spinning machines, the "Ishikawadai" operates at a considerably slower speed—about one-third of that of its contemporary counterparts. However, this reduced speed offers intriguing benefits. It applies minimal stress to the cotton fibres, allowing their natural qualities to emerge. As a result, the fabric has a distinctive, uneven texture reminiscent of hand-spun cotton, a characteristic that is nearly impossible to achieve with automated machines. The intentional irregularity in the fabric gives it an authentic, almost vintage look that distinguishes it from the uniformity typical of today’s mass-produced textiles.
The fabric of this sweatshirt showcases the cotton's unique properties without relying on the usual thread refinement processes, thereby preserving its distinctive characteristics.

This is where is all began. The first of the legendary 'Osaka 5', Studio D'Artisan was founded in 1979 by Shigeharu Tagaki, a designer who had been learning his trade in France. Inspired by French workwear and especially the American jeans craze sweeping Japan in the late sixties and early seventies, Tagaki started reproducing vintage denim on old Toyada G-3 shuttle loom. Disappointed with the poor quality of mass-produced jeans which flooded the market in the 1980s, the company were soon making original denim goods, utilizing designs and productions techniques from the golden age of jeans.
It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that the company was one of the prime reasons for the explosion of interest in Japanese denim in the late nineties and early aughts. In fact, SDA claim that their flagship model 'DO-1' was the first raw selvedge jean produced, making it the granddaddy of Japanese quality denim.
All sizing information is for guide purposes only.
Where possible we provide individual product size guides. If these aren't
available we provide a generic brand size guide. Individual garments may
differ from these measurements and we cannot guarantee the item you receive
will match these measurements exactly.
Many brands also have a level of tolerance in size differences
between the same item - this is usually 0.5 inches.
If no size guide is shown below, it means there is not one available at
present for this item and it will be added if/when it becomes available.
