Description

The Samurai SJST-SC02 Japanese Cotton Short Sleeve Henley in Light Kuri is produced in an exclusive 16 oz. Japanese Slub Yarn Jersey to serve as a heritage collector’s staple wholly made in Japan with ancient fibers and vintage techniques. This cleanly configured henley is made in 100% Organic Japanese Cotton re-established by the Samurai Cotton Project in Hyogo prefecture using an ancient native cotton strain and hand-cultivation techniques. This short raw fiber is yarn spun in Sasayama, loomed in Wakayama, and cut, sewn, and garment dyed with tanga chestnut extracts in Kyoto for a basic with an authentically antique texture, weight, and color. Using a classic fit, this heavyweight henley is ideal for various body types and style profiles. This basic comes with signature details elevated from vintage originals, like a twill woven placket, mother-of-pearl buttons, and a triple stitched rib bound crewneck, and is constructed with vintage Union special flat-locked seams throughout. Representing one of the most collectible Japanese producers that continues to innovate through intensive old-world techniques, this Samurai celebrates exclusive material development, precise craftsmanship, and considered design through every element to create a unity of garment and wearer.
