Flax and silk shirt jacket
The warp threads are made from a domestically spun blend of two types of hemp, linen and ramie, and the weft threads are made from an original fabric made from silk. The characteristic softness of flax is reduced by blending it with ramie, and the silk weft threads make the fabric feel soft against the skin and produce neps, giving it a worn-in feel right from the start. Please refer to Boeken's article for more details on the differences between flax, ramie, and hemp.
The size and silhouette are designed to be both a shirt and a jacket. The vertical pockets are positioned and deep enough to allow easy access to items even when layered over an outer layer, and the overall streamlined design makes it both convenient and durable for everyday use. The piping tape is made from organic cotton, and the buttons are made from nut buttons, which have a low environmental impact.
