MAN-TLE's relaxed fitting button-front shirt, designed specifically for natural dyeing, cut from an airy cotton/linen parachute cloth. Features an enlarged classic collar, a dropped left breast pocket, a clean finished rear yoke, and a flat hem. Easy proportions throughout and roomy armholes combine with the lightness of the cloth for a sense of soft, floating volume. Constructed using french seams throughout for a long lasting, elegant finish that is a joy to wear; Corozo buttons.
The Parachute Cloth is woven in Shizuoka using vintage shuttle looms and bears a light, airy crisp texture. This edition of the OD shirt is dyed using madder root sourced from India, a process requiring repeated cycles of rinsing and dyeing to achieve the rich red hue known as Akane. Following this the shirt is folded and clamped before being submerged repeatedly in the iron rich muds of Amami-Oshima to achieve the overlaid Itajime shibori grid pattern. With wear, washing, and exposure to sunlight, the colour will evolve, taking on a life of its own. Use some caution when wearing with lighter coloured fabrics to avoid unwanted colour transfer through friction.
