SH-114B
Ramie silk pullover (red ocher dyed)
The warp thread is made of 100% ramie yarn, and the weft thread is a blend of ramie and silk, resulting in a very lightweight and thin fabric. The smooth texture of ramie and the lustre of silk combine to create a simple yet striking fabric. Both the warp and weft threads are made of extremely thin 160-count yarn, but since yarn this thin is usually difficult to spin, the fabric is woven while being reinforced with water-soluble yarn. After weaving, the fabric is washed in hot water, during which the reinforcement parts are removed, resulting in a fabric that is both light and thin.
With no shoulder slope or curve to the armholes, this is a very flat design. The generous space between body and cloth gives a sense of freedom, almost as if nothing were worn. The pattern can be worn either front or back, but because the front centre is asymmetrical, the impression changes greatly depending on whether the fly-front opening faces front or back. Shell buttons are used.
