Description

The Samurai SSS26-KSKW Natural Indigo Dyed Kanoko Aimadara Work Shirt is a limited-edition piece produced in an exclusive 10 oz. Japanese Woven Sashiko Cloth for a dutiful style-forward heritage collector’s item with patina potential. A sophisticated pattern reflecting a deer's spotted fur is achieved using Kasuri Kasezome indigo pot and rope dyed techniques and sashiko looming 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, twisted natural indigofera rope dyed yarns and kinari brown kanoko-dyed yarns to achieve a complex, three-dimensional pattern that will uniquely evolve in this brilliant sashiko cloth. This Samurai Work Shirt comes in the Westerners Cut with a classic fit for various body types and style profiles. This shirt features signature details inspired by vintage originals, such as flap-front buttoned chest pockets and button barrel cuffs, and is finished with custom Japanese undyed nut buttons. The Natural Indigo Kanoko Aimadara Sashiko 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.
