Shoot. C'mon. Now I need this black.
Yes, will do that now.
I took a million pictures of the damn shirt and couldn't get a single one to work out. Interestingly enough, when I later spoke to Aldo and Giulia at Harris Wharf, they also showed me a coat also dyed with a Kyoto black.
One thing that Jun mentioned, but which didn't come through in the interview, is that he'd like to be able to showcase traditional techniques alongside the modern clothing. I think the shirt is the great example, as are the Edo Kiriko pieces.
Here are two very brief write-ups about the Kyoto dyeing industry: http://kougeihin.jp/english/crafts/0210/f0210.html and http://tumblr.leonnyc.com/post/19431956677/the-blackest-black-kyotos-black-dyeing-tradition. If anyone has any more insight, feel free to share.
