Hundreds of years ago, when most Japanese wore cotton-made kimonos every day, they were valuable heirlooms that you could leave to your children and grandchildren. To maintain the quality of cotton-made kimonos over time, the Japanese developed their own repair technique, and that is how ‘Noragi Sashiko' originated. Today, we would love to introduce you to this lovely Nogari Sashiko work shirt from SDA, inspired by these centuries-old traditional weaving techniques!
This beautiful 12oz thread-dyed Nogari sashiko is slowly woven using vintage machines, resulting in some beautiful uneven textures! With time, this sashiko fabric will gradually fade to a soulful look! You’ll feel this shirt becomes like a vintage Nogari sashiko worn for over 100 years!
Thanks to the heavyweight sashiko, you can easily wear this one as an overshirt in the warm season! For some tasteful contrast against the fading sashiko, the natural Tagua buttons have been added, and some beautiful sheen will appear with time!
