INDIGO SASHIKO SHIRT (Momotaro ODMJ003) - 38 - Medium - $165

[Erik Wagner]

Just picked up this shirt. It is completely new - never been washed. The fabric is simply too heavy for 11 months out of the year in Austin, Texas. Sold out in this size forever. Not trying to make money, just trying to get what I paid (http://www.okayamadenim.com/collections/momotaro-jeans/products/od-mj-indigo-sashiko-shirt?variant=2418795076).

Limited to 55 pieces - produced exclusively for Okayama Denim by Momotaro Jeans

Japanese Indigo Dyed Sashiko fabric
Slim fit silhouette
Oxford style construction
100% cotton
Oversized Matte white buttons with red accent stitching
Dual Chainstitch run off on the side vents

Applying a fabric with a rich history in Japanese culture to this piece, known as Sashiko (刺ã—å­, directly translates as 'little stabs'), the indigo dyed cotton base of the fabric has undyed white cotton yarns running in parallel lines throughout. Sashiko was historically a sewing technique used to repair well worn sections of traditional kimonos and workwear, but early on was adopted as a way of also decorating patterns on garments.

Featuring details like Oversized matte finish white buttons with red accent stitching, chainstitch seam construction with the run offs on either side vent, and an updated silhouette with a slightly longer torso than a traditional Oxford shirt.

 

While we have kept the production lots as small as possible because working with this specific fabric for shirting is not easy, this will be the last of this style as we no longer have fabric capacity to produce more. While the first production lot was 28 pieces, we were to produce 27 pieces of this second and final run. Thus, this style is limited to 55 total pieces ever produced.
