Linen Ramie Silk Shirt

An original fabric with a domestically spun blend of two bast fibres — linen and ramie — in the warp and silk in the weft. Blending ramie with the linen softens the characteristic sag of linen, while the silk weft makes it gentler against the skin and brings out neps, so it feels pleasantly worn-in from the very first wearing. For more on the differences between linen, ramie and hemp, see this article by Boken.

A design with a deep overlap at the centre front. The front edges, hem and collar are left with raw, unfinished edges for a relaxed look. With the wide waist cord you can wear it tied rather than buttoned, so it lends itself to different ways of wearing. The cuffs adjust with a button and loop. The buttons are shell buttons with a rough, natural surface.

Handling Instructions

*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 fibre 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 colour and size may vary slightly from item to item. (Greige) *Dyed in dark colours. To avoid colour transfer, please avoid mixing with light colours. To prevent colour fading, use a dry-cleaning detergent and dry in the shade. Due to post-production processing, the colour and size of each item may vary slightly. (Dark Navy, Charcoal Brown, Black)
