Fabric Description

So there we were. Lake Como, Italy. Meeting with one of the premiere printed shirt mills in the world. The owner had just come back from a textile auction with a new book of vintage Japanese Katazome block prints almost a century old. We combed through these incredible designs and decided we had to bring them back to life.

We worked with the mill to develop a special digitally printed effect that replicated the faded indigo of the originals. This one is a small deco design that nicely spaced out to give it a more subtle look. Get up close and you'll notice all of the lines are made up of these smaller, slightly imperfect dots in the tradition of vintage Katazome printing. Then we selected an incredibly smooth 80/1 x 80/1 broadcloth quality that's lightweight and super comfortable. We love how it can be worn on a hot day, or layered under a sweater once the temperature drops.

Try this one with a Soft Franklin Spread for a more modern, downtown look. Make sure to opt for a soft cuff and placket to match. Learn more about our Japanese Katazome Print Collection here.

  • nice print in theory but i don’t like the way it looks on your body

    July 2019  ·  Andrew in Brooklyn, NY

  • Thin fabric

    January 2019  ·  sung in Century City, CA

  • Great looking shirt. I am not a fan of the fabric. A bit thin and stiff at the same time. Even though it is not my favorite, I do get a lot of compliments on the shirt.

    November 2018  ·  RON in Anchorage, AK

  • One of my favorites.

    October 2018  ·  Zachary in WASHINGTON, DC

  • Love the print and looks great on its own or underneath a sweater. However, it does wrinkle quite a bit.

    November 2016  ·  Kris in Victoria, BC

  • This quickly became a favorite shirt of mine. I have received many compliments on it.

    November 2016  ·  AJ in PHOENIX, AZ

  • Really interesting fabric has become my go-to casual shirt. The print is unique and you definitely won't see anything like it. The only drawback is the fabric on the inside collar tends to show sweat/oil pretty easily, so it may require washing more frequently than normal.

    November 2016  ·  Clifford in San Francisco, CA

  • Didn't love the structure of the shirt. It's a casual pattern/style shirt but the collar was stiff and that of a more formal shirt

    October 2016  ·  Michael in Glencoe, IL

  • Lighter than shown on screen. Looks like light denim

    October 2016  ·  Mikael in New York, NY

  • unique pattern , nice overall

    August 2016  ·  Nick in Weehawken, NJ

  • This has become one of my favorite shirts.

    August 2016  ·  sean in san diego, CA

  • Fabric looked nice but was more grey-blue than blue (as pictured). Very thin material. Did not need a lot of care out of the dryer. It was less impressive in an actual shirt than in a photo.

    July 2016  ·  Adam in Potts Camp, MS

  • Beautiful fabric

    July 2016  ·  Ed in LOS ANGELES, CA

  • Overall, love this shirt. This was my first short-sleeve order on this website. I love the clean, lightweight feel and the subtle pattern of the fabric. I might even shorten the sleeves a half-inch or full inch, but the minimum sleeve length is 8.5"

    June 2016  ·  Henry in Rolling Hills, CA

  • Light and comfortable, I want to see how it wears over time.

    May 2016  ·  Neal in New York, NY

  • Really nice pattern, not too flashy and classy enough to wear to work and just casual enough to wear with jeans.

    April 2016  ·  Sean in Toronto, Ontario

  • Many compliments on this shirt and its fit. Very lightweight yet concealing material that breathes beautifully

    April 2016  ·  craig in Kirkland, WA

  • I was a little unsure of this fabric when I ordered because I\'m not usually a \"print\" guy. However, I very much like it. The fabric is pretty light and the print is subtle. Definitely a weekend-wear shirt for me, not to work. Would work well in a short-sleeve format as well.

    April 2016  ·  Greg in Houston, TX

  • Its a subtle but very striking print. Wore for the first time today and have had multiple compliments.

    April 2016  ·  Gregg in Nashville, TN

  • Pattern is great but fabric wrinkles easily.

    April 2016  ·  Samuel in Washington, DC

  • Feels nice on me

    March 2016  ·  George in San Clemente, CA

  • Love this shirt. The fabric was thin, but it\'s unique and wears well.

    March 2016  ·  Jonathan in TIGARD, OR

  • great fine feel, wears well. quality construction

    March 2016  ·  Michael in London, London

  • Very soft and comfortable!

    February 2016  ·  Bret in Arden Hills, MN

  • It looks and feels great but wrinkles very easily. It fits better worn a bit loose rather than very fitted.

    February 2016  ·  Sam in New York, NY

  • Thinner than expected and the texture is very smooth, not slightly fuzzy as I expected from the pics. Great casual shirt.

    November 2015  ·  J Leonard in Tyler, TX

  • Really nice fabric that has a smooth, almost silk like feel to it.

    November 2015  ·  Florian in Hamburg, Hamburg

  • I really liked the fit, I have worn the shirt a ton already. Its really versatile and fashionable.

    October 2015  ·  John in new york, NY

  • Beautiful and soft just a killer shirt...

    October 2015  ·  robert in Evergreen, CO

  • Love it. It\'s a little greyer than it appears on screen though. Good for casual Fridays.

    October 2015  ·  Duncan in New York, NY

  • Antother unusual pattern that still works with dressy suits and jackets. I went with the french cuffs so this one goes well with unusual links.

    October 2015  ·  Joseph in New York, NY

  • Excellent fabric. Great feel.

    October 2015  ·  Craig in Washington, DC

  • It\'s a unique fabric.
