KANEMASA PHIL. - 36G Check Balise Shirt - BLACK

We've created a new shirt called "Balise." Meaning "beacon" or "marker" in French, this new style features a size and details that fall between workwear and dress wear, and between a shirt and a blouson. Its versatile sizing, suitable for any occasion, will become a benchmark and a new staple pattern for us.

This season, our classic check material is available in four tattersall patterns.
We've achieved a high-density plain weave fabric called typewriter cloth, using a super high gauge of 36G. It offers exceptional stretch and comfort that you won't want to take off once you wear it. It also maintains its shape well with minimal wrinkling and is easy to care for. This is a new standard shirt fabric, unique to us, combining crispness, luster, and easy care.

For the details, we've adopted dress shirt specifications with all felled seams and shell buttons. However, elements like the sleeves were designed with the casual image of a blouson in mind. This is a one-of-a-kind shirt that fuses the crispness and luster of the material, a well-balanced silhouette, the sophisticated feel of the fabric, and the pattern.

The cotton yarn is a fine-count 160/1 recycled Suvin cotton, used as a plied yarn. By using gas-gassed yarn, we've enhanced its luster and minimized fluffing after washing. High-crimp 75D recycled polyester is used to provide stretch. The brand logo is embossed on the back of the buttons.

*Felled seam: A sewing method where the fabric edge is hidden by stitching it once and then folding it over and stitching it again, ensuring a smooth feel against the skin.
