Each season Samurai never fails to bring us some brings us some incredible new fabrics, and they've outdone themselves yet again!
This here is the Indigo Sashiko Utility Workshirt! Sashiko is one of Japan's most famous domestic fabrications, weaving different fabrics together for structural reinforcement and aesthetic charm. This 11oz sashiko is thread dyed with grand indigo and then woven densely to create a strong horizontal texture.
With ongoing use, you'll see some high-contrast fading as the raised surfaces become lighter. These ageing characteristics look and wear perfect for a "utility" shirt like this - perfect for daily use, and really breaking in!
Constructed with lightweight cotton twill linings on the cuffs, collar, pocket flaps and placket, this is built to a jacket-like standard. The triple stitching makes for extra durability. For a luxurious feeling, the buttons are made from a dark shell which gives off an elegant glimmer in the light.
If you're after a minimal style with the beauty of sashiko, this is one of the nicest choices!
