A looser fitting buttondown with single chest pocket, corozo buttons, french seams, squared cuffs, pointed collar, more pronounced curved hem and ‘invisible’ placket. This shirt is based on the same fit of the Big Shirt - cut more relaxed in the chest with a dropped shoulder and a slightly longer body compared to the Two Pocket Shirt.

Hand numbered edition made in Japan.

Soft and unstructured, this very lightweight all hemp twill weave, was overdyed twice - first with an Oekotex beige color for a warm base, then a second time in natural sumi ink for overtones of charcoal and the introduction of irregularity in saturation. Woven and dyed in Japan.

Ilan is 5'10" and wearing a size medium.

Hand or machine wash cold/gentle setting and hang dry.

Nestled into the banks of the Asahi River that runs through Okayama, this larger scale dye house specializes in one discipline; piece dyeing, or the dyeing of fabric after it's woven.

An unassuming cluster of warehouse structures conceals a mysterious world of color alchemy and idiosyncratic machinery. The immense scale of space and hyper specific decades old equipment exhibiting the heavy patina of time impart a Jules Verne-like quality to the humble spaces.

As a result of this history and wealth of experience the craftspeople at this mill are able to execute machine sumi dyeing to the highest level - achieving consistency in tone and depth across hundreds of meters of cloth.
