The beauty of fading...in Japan, fading over the decades through sun, rain & sweat adds beauty as the Indigo transforms to a color that can not be bought. You must live it.
This Edo era, antique textile is a wonderful example of this, finally settling into a mid, light blue- Ama-iro. 
Original, visible mending represents fully utilizing the cloth, resilience & survival.
Now remade. this is one of 2 from this rare textile I purchased at the 94th Kyoto Antique fair this year. 
Military surplus knit trims in 100% wool.
Vintage silk lining.
