Studio D’Artisan SD‑003 Selvedge Jeans 🏷️Japanese Heritage Denim / Osaka Five / Made in Japan Tagged Size: 29 (Slim Tapered Fit) 📏 Actual Measurements (One‑Wash Approx.): • Waist: 29 inches • Front Rise: ~9.5–10 inches • Back Rise: ~14 inches • Thigh: ~11.8 inches • Knee: ~8 inches • Hem: ~6.25 inches • Inseam: ~35 inches (chainstitched) This Studio D’Artisan SD‑003 is a vintage Japanese selvedge jean from one of the legendary Osaka Five brands, pioneers of Japan’s repro denim movement since 1979. Released in the early 2000s, the SD‑003 was part of SDA’s modern slim/tapered line, crafted from 15oz slubby indigo selvedge denim woven on vintage Toyoda G3 shuttle looms. The fabric’s irregular texture was designed to fade with deep character, embodying SDA’s philosophy of wabi‑sabi fading and heritage craftsmanship. The photos confirm key collector details: a brown goat‑hide leather patch with SDA branding on the waistband, arcuate stitching on the rear pockets showing authentic fading and wear, purple selvedge ID visible on the outseam (white with indigo line bordered by yellow stitching), copper rivets reinforcing pocket corners, and a button fly with exposed metal buttons. The denim displays vertical streak fades and honeycombs behind the knees, along with whiskers across the thighs and seat, all hallmarks of SDA’s left‑hand twill construction. These natural fades highlight true indigo evolution, making this pair a living archive of Japanese denim culture. The SD‑003 is no longer available today because SDA phased out older models after limited production runs, shifting focus to the SD‑100 series and newer tapered fits. The discontinuation reflects SDA’s move from experimental cuts into a more streamlined lineup, making surviving pairs rare and highly collectible. ✔️ Details & Features 📌 Size 29 (Slim tapered fit) 📌 15oz Japanese selvedge denim, Toyoda G3 loom 📌 Goat‑hide leather patch with SDA branding 📌 Hidden rivets & chainstitched hems 📌 Copper rivets, button fly construction 📌 Purple selvedge ID (collector detail) 📌 Made in Japan production 📌 Excellent pre-owned condition — natural fades, no structural flaws 🏷️ Price: ₱7,280 📦 Free Shipping via Lalamove or J&T 📩 DM for detailed measurements or high-resolution photos 📌 All items are pre-loved / vintage.
