Ancient Japanese dyeing techniques for the new millennium!
Under the leadership of founder Iwaya-san, PBJ continues to amaze us with their stunning indigo creations and this shirt is no exception! PBJ has utilized an ancient indigo dyeing technique called Kasuri, which was developed from Ikat dyeing during the reign of the Ryukyu Kingdom around 1200AD. This technique is used to create beautiful irregular patterns and images in the fabric!
This shirt is constructed with 8oz chambray fabric which has been slowly woven using vintage machines. This results in an irregular texture with plenty of character! The thread-dyeing Kasuri technique is applied to create a beautiful "waterfall" appearance that will look even better with age as the uneven indigo tones fade to a soulful appearance!
Speaking of details, this shirt features tasteful large natural horn buttons as well as PBJ's signature indigo leaf which has been hand-embroidered by skilled craftsmen! The cut is a modern slim-fit style with a single chest pocket for a clean silhouette!
