Japanese Washed Indigo Linen Fabric

$195

Estimated Restock: Spring 2025

Unbelievably light and airy, this indigo linen is a real stunner.

Made in Japan from 100% linen, this shirt features a natural slub texture and a soft, almost fuzzy finish, as if it's been worn and loved for years. The single-ply plain weave construction is fairly loose, allowing extra air flow and breathability. This light indigo shade features naturally irregular fading and makes a wonderful summer casual shirt.

From sourcing the perfect denim from a 185-year-old mill in Italy to testing washes with our factory for months on end, we labor over every detail of our washed indigo shirts. Each of them starts out as a plain or textured weave fabric that’s been dyed heavily with indigo. After being cut and sewn, the shirts are then garment washed using either a light enzyme, soda, or bleaching process. It‘s this process that gives each shirt its beautiful color and unique fading around the seams. While garment washed indigo and denim shirts are a popular product in the ready-to-wear market, they haven‘t previously been available in a custom fit or design due to the bulk production required for the washing process. We‘ve worked closely with our suppliers to bring you the first truly custom garment washed indigo and denim shirts on the market. Premium, carefully crafted shirts, made to your exact specifications.

Recommended Styling: Try this one with our Camp collar, Angled pocket, and Slate Horn buttons for a vintage casual look. Note that, due to the special nature of the garment washing process, this fabric can only be made using soft, unfused collars, cuffs, and fronts/plackets.

Since our limited-run garment-washed indigo and denim fabrics are made in small batches with a special process, they have an extended delivery timeline. Fabric swatches are not available.

“i was rather disappointed with this one. perhaps it is best to stick to either denim - or linen, not this apparent mixture of both. it ended up looking and feeling like neither, the faded edges, also along the placket, were a little too visible. if you like it bright, loud and unusual, this is a shirt for you. but to me, it felt like the shirt was wearing me”
