Weird Guy - MIJ19 - Amaterasu Selvedge

The MIJ19 Amaterasu Selvedge takes its name from Amaterasu, the sun goddess of Shinto mythology and the mythical ancestor of the Japanese Imperial Family. Her name, 天照 (Amaterasu), reflects both her identity and her role. Ama (天) means “heaven,” while terasu (照) means “to shine” or “to illuminate.” Together, they describe her divine duty to illuminate the heavens and bring light to the world. Amaterasu is revered as the highest-ranking kami in the Shinto pantheon, standing above the countless deities often referred to as the “eight million gods.” Just as Amaterasu’s light illuminates the heavens, this fabric is defined by brightness and warmth. Woven in Japan from 11.5oz selvedge denim, the warp yarns are rope dyed with natural indigo, creating a soft, luminous shade of blue. The rope-dyeing process leaves the core of each warp yarn white, allowing the denim to develop a classic range of blue-to-white fades with wear. A beige weft gives the reverse side of the fabric a warm, golden tone. Where the indigo warp wears through from abrasion, fraying, or rips, the beige yarns beneath may peek through, creating unexpected flashes of warmth against the fading blue. To preserve the denim’s hairy surface, rough texture, and unsanforized character, the fabric undergoes a Tempi treatment in Japan. This process removes the fabric’s residual shrinkage while maintaining its raw texture and structural integrity. It takes the guesswork out of sizing while keeping the denim true to its original feel. The MIJ19 is detailed with a sheepskin leather patch embossed with the Flower of Carnage logo, a micro busted outseam, 100% iron buttons, 100% copper rivets, hidden back-pocket rivets, a peekaboo selvedge coin pocket, selvedge button fly construction, raised belt loops, and signature maple leaf embroidery on the right back pocket. The iron and copper hardware will develop a natural patina with wear, complementing the evolving character of the denim. Weird Guy is a classic tapered fit. Mid rise and fitted through the hips and thighs, it narrows gradually from knee to hem. 11.5oz natural indigo x beige Japanese selvedge denim Tempi-treated Beige, light pink, and beige selvedge edge Sheepskin leather patch with embossed "Flower of Carnage" logo Iron buttons Copper rivets Hidden back pocket rivets Peekaboo selvedge coin pocket Selvedge Button fly Raised belt loops Maple leaf embroidery Made in Japan
