Description

The Samurai SNL24-01 Rope Dyed Heavy Flannel Contest Work Shirt is a limited edition piece produced in an exclusive 12 oz. Japanese Check Flannel for a dutiful style-forward heritage collector’s item with patina potential. A hallmark orange, red, blue, and off-white check over a charcoal brown field woven with thick twisted denim weighted yarns provides a modern take on traditional workwear patterns. Using a combination of reactive rope-dyed Kinari yarns using natural pigments to represent Japanese elements of indigo, persimmon tannin, mud, and sumi ink that will evolve in unison, this twill weave is flipped on the reverse to replicate a textured directional cord aesthetic. 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 undyed nut buttons. The Heavy Flannel Contest 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.
