Classic stand collar, straight cut, button-through shirt with large left-chest pocket, specifically designed to over-dye with natural colouring. Dying this season commissioned to Amami-Oshima based Kanai Kougei. Master craftsman Yukihito Kanai works to preserve the 1300 year old traditional mud-dye techniques of the island, while working to express his own view on the materials within reach. With a personal fascination in gradation and new combinations of colour, this shirt employs pigment of Indigo as well as the iron-rich mud found on the Amami island. Please note that there may be some irregularities in the cloth — and the colour is designed to evolve with exposure to sunlight and wear. Made in Japan.
