SH-136C

Short-sleeved hemp shirt (plant-dyed)

100% hemp yarn is used for the warp and weft. Hemp is a strong fiber, but over time it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin, allowing you to enjoy the change in texture from linen to cotton. 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 Early Modern Linen Research Institute, for the history of hemp cloth, and the article by Boeken for details on the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax .

This shirt is proposed as a piece of clothing that can be used to make modern ethnic clothing. While the construction follows the rules of Western clothing, the design has been stripped down as much as possible, with the pattern being based on functionality. Specifically, the sleeve caps are tucked and the bottom sleeves are set higher to allow for freedom of movement around the arms, while the back yoke is gusseted rather than tucked or gathered to allow for freedom of movement in the back. The silhouette is slightly looser than the standard SH-81. The buttons are made of thin white mother-of-pearl and are all hand-sewn. This is a quarter-length shirt, SH-132.

Handling Instructions

*Please note that there may be knots and unevenness in the yarn, which are unique characteristics of natural materials. This is because we prioritize texture and use raw materials with uneven fiber lengths, so please consider it as part of the fabric's character. Please be careful not to pull on the knots in the yarn, as this may cause the fabric to tear and create holes. *Please enjoy the unevenness of the plant-dyed color and the changes that come with age. To prevent color transfer, avoid using it with light-colored items, and wash with a neutral detergent and air dry. Fading may occur due to sweat and light, so please handle with care, such as storing it away from sunlight and fluorescent lights. (Coffee, Walnut) *This item is dyed with natural indigo. The color will gradually lighten with repeated use. Because of the possibility of color transfer, avoid using it with light-colored items initially, and wash with a neutral detergent and dry it in the shade. The color and size may vary slightly from piece to piece. (Light Natural Indigo, Natural Indigo, Natural Indigo & Walnut) *Please enjoy the uneven coloring and unique aging process of indigo and persimmon tannin dyeing. To prevent color transfer due to friction, avoid using with light-colored items, and wash alone with a neutral detergent and dry in the shade. Fading may occur due to sweat and sunlight, so please take care in storage and handling. (Indigo & Persimmon Tannin)
