KASURI Short Sleeve Casual Shirt

KASURI Shirt
Inspired by kasuri, a traditional Japanese textile technique dating back to the Edo period, this shirt is brought to life in Nishiwaki—one of Japan’s most renowned weaving regions—through modern technology and sensibility. The depth and character of the fabric are created through highly advanced yarn-dyeing techniques. Each pattern is meticulously planned at the yarn stage, carefully determining exactly which sections to dye.
Even for motifs such as stripes or checks, the dye placement is precisely adjusted according to how the weft and warp threads will appear in the final weave. This level of craftsmanship and precision gives the fabric its distinctive texture and dimensional depth.

Fabric
Woven in Japan at a mill in Nishiwaki, Hyogo—known as the home of Banshu-ori textiles.
Traditionally casual kasuri is reinterpreted through the refined perspective of a dress shirt maker, resulting in a modern, urban-friendly expression.
Breathable and comfortable against the skin, even in warmer seasons.
A carefully balanced silhouette that combines relaxed ease with tailored elegance.
Due to the time and craftsmanship required, this is a rare series that cannot be mass-produced.

Styling
Pair with wool slacks for an intellectual look, where the woven pattern subtly stands out within a restrained color palette. Also pairs well with jeans or chinos, creating an effortlessly refined casual style suitable for everyday wear.
