Okazaki cotton shirt (plant dyed)
We use deadstock Okazaki cotton that we received from Mr. Akio Tanaka, a true indigo dyer from Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. We focused on the functionality of the fabric, which was originally left over for obi belts, and used it for shirts. Because it is woven on an old shuttle loom, it has a texture that is almost like hand-woven fabric. In addition, because the weft threads are woven loosely, it has natural stretchability. For more information on the background of Okazaki cotton, please refer to Kero Kikaku's blog .
The shirt is a proposal for a piece of Western clothing that constitutes modern ethnic wear. While following 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 allow for more movement around the arms, and the yoke on the back is tucked in rather than gathered. In addition, instead of the adhesive interlining used in regular shirts, the outer fabric is fluffed, and all the sewing threads are cotton thread #30, giving it a soft finish, making it comfortable to wear even against bare skin. The front placket uses fabric selvedge to convey the texture of hand weaving, and the buttons are all hand sewn using thick white mother of pearl. Unlike the usual specifications, it has a stand-up collar without a collar. This is a special order from corner.
*Dyed with natural indigo. The color will become lighter with repeated use. As there is a possibility of color transfer, avoid using with light-colored items at first, wash with neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. As this is product dyed, the color and size of each item will vary slightly. (Indigo, Indigo x Walnut)
*Dyed with dyes extracted from plants and insects, there is a natural unevenness. As there is a possibility of color transfer, please refrain from using it with light-colored items at first, wash with a neutral detergent, and dry in the shade. Since it is product dyed, the color and size of each item will vary slightly. (Assen)
