Ripple hemp jacket
The original hemp fabric is made of twill weave, and has a characteristic fine wave-like appearance. It gradually becomes familiar with the skin over time, and you can enjoy the change in texture from hemp to cotton. The cool touch, which is a characteristic of hemp, continues even after repeated washing, making it comfortable to wear even in the middle of summer. For the history of hemp cloth, please refer to the article by Shinichiro Yoshida, director of the Modern Linen Research Institute , and for the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax, please refer to the article by Boken . Taking advantage of the functionality of the hemp material, the design is roomy and conscious of the space between the body. The cuffs can be adjusted to your preference by using buttons. The buttons are made of wood, and everything from the fabric to the sewing thread is made of natural fibres. (Only the button thread uses nylon core thread (thread with nylon only in the centre and cotton covering on the outside) for strength.)
*There are knots and unevenness in the threads that are unique to natural materials. This is because we place importance on texture and use raw materials with uneven fibre lengths, so please consider this as part of the look. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the threads too hard, as this may cause the threads to break and create holes in the fabric.
*Dyed in dark colours. Please avoid mixing with light colours to avoid colour transfer. To prevent colour fading, use a dry-cleaning detergent and dry in the shade. Due to post-production processing, the colour and size of each item may vary slightly. (Dark navy, black ink, black)
