Studio D'Artisan - Fox Cotton 12oz Painter Denim Pants OW [D1929] COMING SOON*

COMING SOON*

The Studio D’Artisan D1929 Painter Pants are built around one of the more unusual denims in the brand’s current collection. Made from a 12oz Japanese denim using naturally coloured Fox Cotton, they combine a relaxed vintage painter-pant silhouette with a fabric whose distinctive undertone comes from the cotton itself rather than additional dye.

Fox Cotton, or FoxFibre®, was developed by American cotton breeder Sally Fox, who began cultivating naturally coloured cotton commercially in the 1980s. Unlike conventional cotton that grows white before being dyed, Fox Cotton can grow naturally in earthy shades of green and brown. Studio D’Artisan uses this naturally coloured cotton in the weft, leaving its original colour intact and giving the finished denim a subtle warmth beneath the indigo surface.

For the D1929, the natural Fox Cotton weft is paired with an indigo-dyed warp to create a 12oz denim that looks familiar from a distance but reveals a noticeably different cast up close. The green and earth-toned cotton underneath gives the indigo greater depth, while the lighter weight makes the fabric softer and easier to wear from the beginning than many of Studio D’Artisan’s heavier denims.

The construction takes its cues from traditional painter and work pants. A dedicated tool pocket runs along the right leg, while triple-needle stitching reinforces the workwear character of the design. Custom metal buttons, raised belt loops, chainstitched hems and Studio D’Artisan’s leather patch finish the pants with the details expected from the brand.

The silhouette is wide and straight with a high rise, plenty of room through the seat and thigh and a generous leg opening. It is one of Studio D’Artisan’s more relaxed cuts, giving the lighter 12oz denim room to drape naturally rather than feeling stiff or restrictive. Finished with a one-wash treatment, the major initial shrinkage has already been removed while leaving the indigo and naturally coloured cotton plenty of room to evolve with wear.

Made in Japan.

Fabric & Care

100% cotton, 12oz Japanese denim using naturally coloured FoxFibre® cotton.

The Fox Cotton used for the weft grows with its own natural colour, giving the interior of the denim subtle green and earth-toned variation without requiring conventional dyeing. Paired with the indigo warp, this creates a warmer and more organic-looking denim that should gain further character as the indigo fades.

The pants have received a one-wash treatment, so the majority of the initial shrinkage has already occurred. Some additional settling may still happen depending on washing temperature and drying method.

Wash cold with a mild detergent and hang dry. Indigo transfer is expected when new.

Fit

High-rise wide straight fit.

The D1929 has a generous top block with substantial room through the thigh before continuing into a wide, straight leg. It is noticeably more relaxed than Studio D’Artisan’s traditional denim fits and is designed for an easy, comfortable silhouette.

Studio D’Artisan sizing can differ from typical North American sizing, so we recommend comparing the listed garment measurements against a pair of pants you already own and like the fit of before choosing your size.

One washed at the factory. Minimal further shrinkage with a cold wash and hang dry.
