SH-113

100% hemp thread is used for the warp and weft. The thread is finer than regular hemp fabric, giving it a denser weave and a finer appearance. Hemp is a strong fiber, but it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin over time, and you can enjoy the change in texture from hemp to cotton-like. The cool feel that is characteristic of hemp persists even after repeated washing, making it comfortable to wear even in the middle of summer. For more information on the history of hemp cloth, see the article by Shinichiro Yoshida, Director of the Modern Linen Research Institute , and for more information on the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax, see Boeken's article . The shirt is proposed as a piece of Western clothing that can be used as part of modern ethnic wear. While the construction follows the rules of Western clothing, the design has been stripped away as much as possible, and the pattern is based on functionality. Specifically, the sleeve cap is tucked in and the bottom of the sleeve is set higher to allow for freedom of movement around the arms, and the yoke on the back is tucked in rather than gathered, allowing for freedom of movement in the back. The silhouette is slightly looser than the standard SH-81 . The buttons are all hand-sewn using freshwater pearl.
