Flax Ramie Shorts
The fabric used was discontinued in the past, but was produced again for this project. A blend of two types of hemp, linen and ramie, spun domestically, is used for the warp and weft to create a firm texture and moderate thickness. In addition, the characteristic sagging of flax is reduced by blending it with ramie. With repeated wear, the fabric will take on the texture of old cloth. For more information on the differences between flax, ramie, and hemp, please refer to Boken's article .
*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 fiber 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 with Kishu Binchotan charcoal and pigments, there is a natural unevenness. To avoid color transfer, avoid combining with light-colored items and always wash separately. Color transfer will subside with use. Since it is product dyed, the color and size of each item will vary slightly. (Charcoal)
*Dyed in dark colors. Please avoid mixing with light colors to avoid color transfer. To prevent color fading, use a dry-cleaning detergent and dry in the shade. Due to post-production processing, the color and size of each item may vary slightly. (Dark green, dark blue, inky black, black)
