A unique project [SOMETARY] with a craft cafe and Somer Kobo Takeo Nakaie is now available!!

Dead stock military wear that is sleeping unused overseas,
This is a project to regenerate items with new appeal by layering them with natural dyes such as indigo and madder.

Military wear with a rustic image is also layered with plant dyes,
A color that blends into nature and everyday life.
In addition, in the process of dyeing with vegetable dyes, a moderate vintage feeling is added,
It turns into a tasteful expression.

"Sometal" "Tameshitari" "Tsukutari"...
Born in trial and error with natural dyeing,
We will deliver items that can meet new discoveries.

Mr. Takeo Nakaya of Somer Kobo worked as a designer at a shipbuilding company, and then went to a natural dyeing studio in Kyoto to learn dyeing techniques using natural dyes.
Currently, he runs a dyeing shop that sells natural dyes called "Someru Kobo".

"Somethari" is a military dead stock item that was sleeping at a craft cafe,
It all started with Mr. Nakaya experimenting with dyeing.

We offer fun items created by combining "vegetable dyeing", which reflects the colors of nature's life force, and "military wear", which combines functionality and design without waste!
