Japanese Casual Basketweave Fabric

$120

Description

Fabric Description

A truly unique fabric out of Japan, this vintage white basketweave is a great riff on the classic oxford cloth button down. It’s incredibly soft, and while from a distance it looks like a simple white oxford, up close the beautiful textured basketweave really comes through. And it only gets better the more you wash it—as the thread softens up and shrinks slightly, the texture actually increases, creating a super unique, subtle crosshatch effect. The 16/1 x 16/1 construction gives it a nice heft, yet the slightly open weave keeps things breathable. Keep things casual with a Soft Ivy Button Down collar, soft placket, and soft cuffs. Please note that while we do include a 2% shrinkage allowance in width and length measurements for this style, if you plan to wash and dry at home rather than wash and press at a cleaner we suggest including additional shrinkage allowance on this shirt.

  • Good value

    June 2019  ·  James in New York, NY

  • Cool shirt

    May 2018  ·  eladio in Furlong, PA

  • Think, not 'see-through,' linen. Perfect for pool parties with great swim trunks.

    April 2018  ·  Edmundo in London, England

  • It was a bit thicker than I expected but still light and breathable

    April 2018  ·  Aaron in New York, NY

  • Lots of compliments

    March 2018  ·  William in Toronto, ON

  • Very nice material. Good for various occasions.

    March 2018  ·  Mathew in Bayport, NY

  • This is a thick but loosely woven fabric. It becomes softer and better with wear. It does wrinkle quickly, but this is expected and acceptable. This adds to its character.

    March 2018  ·  Scott in Marietta, GA

  • Mit really mine. Pretty soft

    March 2018  ·  Florian in Munich, Bavaria

  • Perfect for summer

    March 2018  ·  Eddie in Washington, DC

  • After first wash as instructed, the fabric on the bottom corner from the inside is already tearing apart. I will issue a return soon.

    February 2018  ·  Bo in Arlington, VA

  • Cozy and almost gauze-like textured fabric, but breaths well and is more lightweight than it looks. Not completely opaque, but not see-thru either.

    February 2018  ·  Michael in Tokyo, Tokyo

  • Nice texture to give it a heavier appearance.

    February 2018  ·  blake in Washington, DC

  • Nice casual shirt fabric

    February 2018  ·  Marcelo in Stoneham, MA

  • Very strong fabric, very slight yellowish tinge. Not off putting though. More of a tone than a colour issue.

    January 2018  ·  Peter in Toronto, Ontario

  • Very nice!

    January 2018  ·  ryen in RENTON, WA

  • I don't quite know what to make of this material. It's open weave and slubby so it has a real laid back feel. But it's also more substantial and heavier than a typical summer shirt. Good drape, good hand, soft and drapes well. Just not a go to on the hotter days.

    January 2018  ·  Arthur in Woodside, NY

  • Great casual shirt

    January 2018  ·  Shashwat in Brooklyn, NY

  • Feels terrific

    January 2018  ·  Douglas in New York, NY

  • Great casual fabric. Nice heavy weight.

    January 2018  ·  Tristan in CHICAGO, IL

  • Good for cold weather; thick and comfy!

    December 2017  ·  Nathan in Vancouver, BC

  • It is a very cool fabric but the shirt doesn't hold shape through the day.

    December 2017  ·  Alex in SALT LAKE CITY, UT

  • Much heavier fabric than expected. The fabric does not drape on the body to form a fitted look. Rather boxy.

    December 2017  ·  Phil in Tucson, AZ

  • Great casual fabric; pair it with soft details for sure

    December 2017  ·  Timothy in New York, NY

  • The Japanese basketweave cloth is my all time favorite. It appears the blue color is no longer available. Please get more colors of this fabric - it's comfortable and heavy, but not too warm, even on warm days.

    November 2017  ·  Alex in Chevy Chase, MD

  • Much softer than I expected. Very comfortable

    November 2017  ·  Charles in Chantilly, VA

  • Great oxford alternative.

    November 2017  ·  Morgan in Calgary, AB

  • This fabric is great. It's like an oxford with a "twist".

    November 2017  ·  Billy in Atlanta, GA

  • This is my favorite casual shirt. It's a dressed-up way to look casual for stepping out. I love it for the hot, humid weather in the region I live in. I can keep my arms covered without feeling uncomfortable.

    November 2017  ·  Enrique in Goose Creek, SC

  • Extremely thick fabric, appearance is similar to the gauze on a band-aid. Didn't shrink as much as the listing suggests.

    November 2017  ·  Alexander in Chicago, IL

  • I love this basket weave. It's amazingly comfortable and it breathes like a dream. I can 3-4 solid wears out of it before needing to have it cleaned. I got mine with a button down collar, which was a mistake. The fabric is very soft and malleable, so I'd recommend going with a more casual collar.

    September 2017  ·  Jonathan in Los Gatos, CA

  • Great, soft alternative to a oxford button-down. Great texture that you can see.

    September 2017  ·  Jeff in Lynnfield, MA

  • Love the shirt. Only complaint is that it wrinkles easily.

    September 2017  ·  TJ in PORTLAND, OR

  • Good weight for cooler summer nights

    August 2017  ·  Jason in Arnold, MD

  • Great material, would buy again.

    August 2017  ·  Craig in DPO, AA

  • Awesome fabric

    August 2017  ·  Christian in OMAHA, NE

  • Great texture and feel

    August 2017  ·  John in Greenbrae, CA

  • Very nice, but casual. Highly recommended.

    August 2017  ·  Jeffery in Mill Valley, CA

  • Great white shirt for casual wear

    August 2017  ·  Peter in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

  • A great shirt to wear with jeans and be casual.

    August 2017  ·  Peter in Woodbury, MN

  • A little heavier than I thought it would be, but very nice

    July 2017  ·  brian in delray Beach, FL

  • The weave is a bit too visible, but overall very good.

    July 2017  ·  Andersen in New York, NY

  • Softness- just very chic and easy wearing

    June 2017  ·  josh in Stowe, VT

  • A bit thicker than I thought.

    June 2017  ·  Jack in Greenwich, CT

  • Fabric is fantastic.

    June 2017  ·  Louis in New York, NY

  • Good casual shirt

    June 2017  ·  Hak in Cleveland, TN

  • Amazing soft fabric.

    June 2017  ·  Eric in Richmond Hill, ON

  • Fabric is thicker than the sample makes it seem, but is soft and comfortable. Almost feels like wearing a flannel. The weave works really well to make something other than a plain white shirt.

    June 2017  ·  Spencer in Greensboro, NC

  • Very unique. Very thick but it will get soft over time.

    June 2017  ·  Ken in Corte Madera, CA

  • Beautiful and soft. Wrinkles up a bit and a little thicker than expected.

    June 2017  ·  Jamie in Oakland, CA
