Today, we are introducing a long-sleeve sweatshirt from D.HYGEN, available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka, Shinsaibashi), styled as part of a complete look.
We will also highlight the other items used in this styling, so please read through to the end.

D.HYGEN – Sweatshirt with Repair Patches and Fading Effect

A high-gauge cotton sweatshirt featuring hand-applied repair patches and fading, crafted by skilled artisans in Kojima, Okayama.
The visible stitching and weathered finish create the depth of a well-worn favorite. The relaxed fit and slightly extended length add versatile layering options for a contemporary look.

Each repair patch is hand-sewn by denim artisans, giving every piece unique, irregular stitching.
Through extensive sampling and adjustments to patch placement, dyeing, and processing, the final design achieves a balance of ruggedness and sophistication.
The bold distressing and fading even consider the appearance of exposed threads, enhancing the three-dimensional texture over time with wear and washing.

Side zippers allow styling versatility: zipped for a clean, straight silhouette or unzipped to create an A-line flare, revealing layered textures underneath.
The neckline is reinforced with a thick ribbed trim, ensuring durability for daily wear despite the garment’s intricate, experimental details.

The relaxed silhouette departs from D.HYGEN’s traditional slim fits, with extra width to emphasize the natural drape of the high-gauge fabric.
The length is extended by about 4 cm compared to the sample version, allowing for creative layering with high-waisted pants or jackets.
Dropped shoulders soften the silhouette, adding ease and a sense of effortless style.

The tightly knit cotton jersey offers a smooth sheen and soft, cling-free feel, ensuring comfort even in warmer months.
The fine-knit structure maintains durability, preventing tears from expanding while supporting the sweatshirt’s distressed detailing.
The nuanced charcoal fading avoids excessive whitening, achieving a rich, shadowy gradation.
It holds its shape even with home washing, making it a reliable everyday piece.

The look is finished with accessories from NATURAL INSTINCT—a necklace inspired by themes of connection, strength, and light, and a ring that blends a heart motif with the brand’s distinctive aesthetic.
The contrast between the sweatshirt’s muted charcoal and the brilliance of silver adds a refined edge to the ensemble.

FDMTL – Classic Straight Denim with Striking Repair Details

This denim embodies FDMTL’s philosophy of “growing more personal with every wear.”
Based on a classic straight silhouette inspired by vintage workwear, it fuses Japan’s celebrated indigo culture with intricate artisanal craftsmanship.
Designed as a “fabric archive” that evolves with the wearer, this piece promises to remain a wardrobe favorite for years.

Featuring a vintage-style button fly, hidden rivets, and traditional selvedge construction, this pair stays true to heritage denim design.
The thigh-to-knee rips and repairs are hand-applied by skilled artisans in Kojima, Okayama, using contrasting fabrics secured with sashiko-inspired stitching.
These layered patches reinterpret boro aesthetics for a contemporary look, creating a visual rhythm through their textures.
Additional details include a keyholder loop at the left pocket and a removable charm bell on the belt loop for added character.

The silhouette offers a comfortable mid-rise fit, hugging the hips lightly before falling straight to the hem.
Avoiding excessive tapering, it accommodates both boots and sneakers, while a rolled cuff reveals the selvedge edge for a subtle accent.
The clean straight cut enhances the dimensionality of the repair patches and accentuates fading as it progresses over time.
Timeless in design, it reflects the brand’s commitment to longevity and everyday wear.

Crafted from 100% cotton selvedge denim woven slowly on vintage shuttle looms, the fabric achieves a textured, uneven surface.
Rope-dyed indigo yarns create a deep hue with a white core, ensuring high-contrast fading that develops uniquely with wear and washing.
Even the repair patch linings use tonal indigo fabrics, amplifying the layered visual depth as the denim ages.
This is denim designed to document a wearer’s life through evolving fades and textures.

Paired here with collaborative boots from DEVOA and A.S.P, designed with a high shaft for a striking silhouette when worn with rolled cuffs.
Inspired by classic boxing shoes, these boots are lightweight yet supportive, featuring a back zipper for easy wear and perforations for breathability.
Together, the boots and denim create a bold, functional look that balances tradition with modern edge.
