I love the post-apocalyptic/dystopian genre - the inherent wabi-sabi aesthetic resonates well with our design philosophy of embracing imperfections. We had been using bio and stone washing techniques to achieve a distinct weathered look for a while now, but I've always wanted to try something different with dyeing techniques.
We sought the expertise of
Uchida in Tokyo who has been in the dyeing business for 110 years. We met up during the pre-corona era and have been working together ever since on many prototypes.
Our first project is the Mura Dyed Slim Pants that employs a "mura" pattern - "mura" meaning "uneven" or "irregular."
The pants are a tight fit and when your Smart Doll is sitting down, you may notice some moonshine glowing from behind. If your Smart Doll gets shy from moonshine then just make sure they are wearing undies. In the UK we call this "builders bottom" - no - not a good idea to do a Google image search.
While I personally haven't experienced any staining, there is a risk thus I'm going to give this item a stain rating of "medium."
If you are worried about staining, then you should wear these with some stain prevention leggings - have a look at the photos to see how you should wear them as it will be a tight fit and most likely cause you to break out in a sweat trying to get both the leggings and pants on.
You do need to remove the feet before you try to put these on. These pants do not have pockets for your girls to hide snacks. They will not fit the guys.
As the bottom of the legs are slim, you'll be able to tuck them into a pair of boots.
Made in Gifu Japan. Stain prevention leggings, dolls or buildings not included.

About Mura Dyeing
Mura Dyeing (called Mura-Zome in Japanese (pronounced moo-rah zo-meh) and written as ???, is a dyeing technique that leaves the fabric with an uneven patten all over. This patten can only be replicated by a chaos god. Unless you are chummy with a chaos god, please do not expect your Mura dyed item to look exactly like the photos.
Your item will be distinct and unique meaning that the pattern and where, how often, dark, light, irregular it appears is completely random. You may feel that one leg, top half, bottom half, back, front has too much/less of a particular pattern you are looking for.
Our Mura dyed items also undergo a separate weathering process that will leave the item with rough uneven edges, holes, frayed threads or any other blemish that we try to replicate through the weathering process.
If you are good with all this then this item may be for you. If you want the pattern to look exactly like the photos or symmetrical - then your luck can be tried elsewhere - maybe on youtube by searching for "MC HAMMER" and clicking on the result with 611 million views.
