SH-117
Hemp open-neck shirt
100% hemp threads are used for the warp and weft. Hemp is a strong fiber, but as it ages it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin, 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. Please refer to the article by Yoshida Shinichiro, Director of the Modern Linen Research Institute, for the history of hemp cloth, and to Boeken's article for details on the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax.
The shirt is proposed as a piece of Western clothing that can be used as part of modern ethnic clothing. 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 ensure freedom of movement around the arms, and the yoke on the back is tucked rather than gathered, ensuring freedom of movement in the back. It is a basic silhouette that will become a new standard. The buttons are made of freshwater pearl.
*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.
*Due to the washing process after sewing, the color and size of each item may vary slightly. (White)
*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 navy, black ink, black)
