KANEMASA PHIL. - 46G Tie Dye Artisan Shirt - WHITE GRAY DYE

This shirt truly embodies the spirit of an "Artisan," as its name suggests, with meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of its material, construction, and dyeing.

Using a 46-gauge super high-gauge knitting machine unique to KANEMASA PHIL., the jersey material is knitted from 100% 80/1 recycled Suvin cotton. Furthermore, salt shrinking treatment is applied to create a distinctive crinkled texture and rich expression on the fabric surface. This results in a truly unique material like no other.

Following this, a two-color tie-dyeing process is applied, creating a unique and profound expression on each piece. Special soft dyeing processing further enhances the inherent drape and sheer quality of the material. During the drying process, each item is air-dried individually, carefully finishing the fabric without compromising its texture.

Combining the lightness and high stretch unique to high-gauge materials, it offers a comfortable fit that you won't want to take off once you try it on. We propose it as a new staple material that can be effortlessly thrown on. The sewing also demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, with the thin and challenging high-gauge material carefully tailored at skilled domestic sewing factories.

The hems, cuffs, and pockets are intentionally left raw-edged, while gathers are applied to the yoke and cuffs, creating a coexistence of handcrafted feel and delicate sophistication. The details are designed based on a dress shirt. Shell buttons are used, with the brand's engraving on the back.

A relaxed box silhouette is also a distinctive feature. The beautiful drape created when worn is a charm unique to this material. By keeping raw edges and minimizing the use of interlinings, the silhouette is constructed while preserving the fabric's inherent texture. This special piece from the Artisan series is a fusion of artisanal tie-dyeing and the brand's unique material development.

*Tie-dyeing
A traditional dyeing technique that creates patterns by preventing dye from penetrating certain areas of the fabric, such as by binding parts of it. Each piece yields a unique result.

*Salt shrinking treatment
A process in which chemicals are absorbed into the fabric to shrink it, creating a unique uneven and crinkled texture on the fabric surface.

*Due to the use of organic cotton, contamination (mixing of other fibers) may be observed. Please understand this as a characteristic of the material.
*Due to the nature of the product, slight fraying or damage may be observed. Please handle with care as changes may occur with wear and washing.
