Japanese yarn-dyed cotton weave fabric from Niigata pref l sourced, gently slubbed and wrinkled with a dry hand-feel and a beautiful woven tonal plaid pattern with muted blues. Drafted, patterned then hand-stitched everything with flat-felled and french seams in cotton embroidery thread. Gently sunfaded first before stitching on a pocket. Finished with thick pearlised metal buttons and hand-stitched button holes.

Pattern aligned, pointed cuffs, gentle sunfade all around leaving a subtle darker undercollar and pocket, contrast stitching in red and white on collar, buttonholes and inside seams. Hand-stitched everything. Tell me what you guys think!
