R0 Shirt-4 OD Shirt 160 Crunch

MAN-TLE's relaxed fitting button-front shirt, originally designed for natural dyeing, cut from a remarkably crisp, Supima cotton typewriter cloth in white. 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 160 Crunch is woven from USA grown, long staple, Supima cotton and represents a significant technical achievement by the new generation of a family-operated mill in Hamamatsu, Japan. Seeking to surpass the industry benchmark for the smoothest, densest, and strongest typewriter cloth, Crunch 160 achieves a density of 358 yarns per square inch, eclipsing the previous record of 340. Extremely difficult to produce, it requires the use of an older wooden shuttle loom renowned for a gentler touch on the yarns themselves. The resulting cloth is feather light, tending to sit away from the skin, and bears a crisp, papery hand. It rustles and crunches with movement, and despite its delicacy, the density of the weave makes it supremely strong. With proper care it will retain its unique structure through many wears.
