Description

The Samurai SKN24-01W Indigo Dyed Sashiko Flannel Work Shirt is a limited edition piece produced in an exclusive 12 oz. Japanese Rain Drop Kasuri Check for a dutiful style-forward heritage collector’s item with patina potential. A sophisticated raindrop pattern over a subtle check is achieved using Kasuri Kasezome indigo pot and rope dyed techniques from the Edo period in Japan, typically used for kimono and martial arts garments. Furthering a modern take on the traditional, this piece uses a combination of extremely thick and twisted rope dyed indigo, pot-dyed asagi, and kinari yarns to achieve the complex three-dimensional pattern that will evolve in this brilliant sashiko cloth brushed to a soft and flexible flannel finish. This Samurai Work Shirt comes in the Westerners Cut with a classic fit for various body types and style profiles. This shirt comes with signature details elevated from vintage originals, like buttoned chest pockets with a pen slot pocket, reinforced elbow patches, button barrel cuffs, and is finished with custom Japanese indigo-dyed nut buttons. The Indigo Rain Drop Kasuri Sashiko Flannel Check Work Shirt is completely chainstitched throughout with a triple-stitched yoke, sleeves, and inseam run-off, signifying its provenance and promised longevity. 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.
