Description

The Samurai SSS26-ATW Tropical Weather Dobby Shirt in Charcoal is a limited edition piece produced in an exclusive 6 oz. Japanese Panama Weave cloth, making it a dutiful, style-forward heritage collector’s item with rare provenance. Drawing on a study of vintage military shirts and tropical cloths, this proprietary fabric development uses a variety of twisted slub yarns woven at Samurai's Banshu mill with a planned tension to create a three-dimensional spotted pattern that allows for breathability and a beautiful texture. This durable Panama-style cloth uses Kinari natural pigment-dyed cotton yarns. It is heavily washed to reveal a patterned weave and a unique patina that will continue to evolve into a directional vintage aesthetic. This Samurai Shirt comes in the Westerners Cut, with a classic fit for a range of body types and style profiles. This shirt features signature militaria details, elevated from vintage originals, including a chest pocket, reinforced elbow patches, and buttoned barrel cuffs, and is finished with custom charcoal-dyed Japanese nut buttons. The Tropical Weather Dobby Shirt is completely chainstitched throughout with felled seams, featuring a triple-stitched yoke, sleeves, and body with inseam run-off, and is bartack-reinforced for 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.
