Opaspong’s Project 3
The Motherland: The North
Northern Thailand is a land rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage.
This project took over three years of preparation. The challenge—and the charm—of The North began with creating a denim fabric inspired by the horizontal striped patterns of traditional Sinh skirts. We carefully designed the dyeing process of the weft yarn using natural dyes to achieve alternating shades of green and yellow. Of course, these dyes had to come from provinces in the Northern region. The most challenging part was calculating the precise lengths of dyed weft yarn so that, once woven, the fabric would form the intended horizontal pattern. It was truly a difficult and demanding process.
Details of The North:
- Unsanforized selvedge denim, 20.82 oz, with a silver selvedge ID. The warp yarn is dyed with high-quality Japanese indigo, while the weft yarn is dyed using natural pigments from Hae leaves. The yarns were dyed in Lampang before being sent to Japan to be woven on traditional narrow shuttle looms.
- All buttons and rivets are made from solid silver, individually cast and hand-finished with precision.
- Natural horsehide leather patch, screen-printed and embossed with the brand logo.
- Waistband lining uses traditional local fabric from Uttaradit.
- Pocket bags are made from grey chambray fabric, printed with patterns representing the unique identity of each region of Thailand.
- Stitching threads are dyed using distinctive natural soil from Sukhothai.
- Special edition white box designed like a book, telling the story of all four regions of Thailand, featuring images of the dyeing materials. The spine is stamped with “The Motherland” in green foil.
All garments are cut and sewn in our own factory in Nonthaburi, backed by over 15 years of denim craftsmanship.
For Opaspong’s Project 3, we feel that we are no longer just making jeans. Every detail represents a challenge, a story, and a collaboration across all four regions of Thailand.
This is
The Legend on Denim.
