Background
-A heritage reissue of a classic riding jacket from the iconic 1970s motorcycle gang route in Yokosuka— a faithful revival of a silhouette born from the rebellious spirit of the era’s most legendary riding circuits, the "Shōnan Cruise"
-This ensemble features two differentiated shades of yellow, a deliberate vision laid out by the crew’s founder , the solid yellow jacket stands for the ethos of the "KNIGHT OF THE DYEING SUN" : traversing endless darkness while bearing the last embers of the sunset toward the unknown.
Initially planned as solid yellow to match the jacket, the pants evolved into faded yellow-and-black stripes. The design draws from rides along coastal roadways, where seaside guardrails partition sunset light, casting dark streaking shadows and muting the golden hue upon riders’ legs — the vision that finalized the legendary riders' suit

About 「SOUMOKU NISHOKU DYEING」
A special traditional hand-finished dyeing technique in Japanese craftsmanship, which involves using two different plant-based dyes to color fabrics or garment, resulting in a dual-tone effect. As a unique variation of plant dyeing, it skillfully utilizes natural plant pigments and dyeing methods to create distinctive two-color patterns, characterized by its natural, eco-friendly, and artistic qualities.
PLANT-DYEING MATERIAL
「KIHADA BARK-DYE」
A foundational natural yellow dyestuff in traditional Japanese plant dyeing. Pigment is extracted exclusively from the vivid golden inner bark of the tree. Garments dyed by this craft carry soft, muted matte depth. Like all natural dyes, the hue gently evolves with sunlight and wear, developing unique patina over time
「SANSHI-DYE」
In Japan’s traditional dyeing and printing culture, the pale yellow produced by gardenia dyeing is regarded as the “color of spring.” It is often used in kimono “seasonal floral patterns” (such as the hue of cherry blossom petals at their first bloom), symbolizing vitality and purity
