SH-27MM

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 in 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 ensure freedom of movement in the back. The silhouette is slightly looser than the standard SH-03 . The buttons are all hand-sewn using thin mother-of-pearl. This item is dyed at the indigo dyeing workshop of Kumiko Mori in Tokushima.
