SH-59
Bamboo short sleeve shirt
Bamboo is a strong fiber, but the length of the fibers is too short to spin as it is, so it is mixed with cotton and spun, and the resulting yarn is used for the warp and weave of the fabric. Bamboo fiber is different from rayon produced by the viscose method, which is an environmental concern, and is still labeled as bamboo. (For details, please refer to the link to the outer fabric raw materials below.) The yarn has natural unevenness, does not stick to the skin, and the bamboo's firmness lasts for a long time, making it comfortable to wear especially in midsummer. The shirt is proposed as a Western clothing that constitutes modern ethnic clothing. The construction follows the rules of Western clothing, but the design has been stripped down as much as possible, and the pattern is based on functionality. The shoulders are tucked in to ensure mobility around the shoulders. This short-sleeved shirt has a silhouette that is much looser than the standard SH-27 . The buttons are all hand-sewn using cat's eye white mother-of-pearl. The cat's eye buttons have a recess, so the thread does not wear out easily.
*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.
*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)
