Description

The Samurai SJST-SC03 Japanese Cotton Short Sleeve Pocket T-Shirt in Kuri Dark is produced in an exclusive 16 oz. Japanese Slub Yarn Jersey to serve as a heritage collector’s staple made entirely in Japan from ancient fibers and vintage techniques. This cleanly configured short-sleeve shirt is made from 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 spun into yarn in Sasayama, loomed in Wakayama, and then cut, sewn, and garment-dyed with black kuri chestnut extracts in Kyoto, resulting in a basic with an authentically antique texture, weight, and color. Featuring a classic fit, this heavyweight t-shirt is suitable for a wide range of body types and style profiles. This basic features signature details elevated from vintage originals, a triple-stitched, rib-bound crewneck, square chest patch pocket, 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.
