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 has a subtle diamond design that looks great with jeans on the weekend. 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.

  • The japanese faded fabric is awesome. The print is fun yet subtle. I have been wearing this a lot and I always get compliments.

    February 2021  ·  Guido in Atlanta, GA

    April 2018  ·  Johann in Doral, FL

    November 2017  ·  ROBERT in BOSTON, MA

  • Fabric is very light.

    April 2017  ·  John in Healdsburg, CA

  • Great pattern, love the blockprint inspiration. Unfortunately, this fabric requires pressing/ironing to really live up to its potential (beyond most fabrics) - otherwise it is too easily wrinkled and the edges will curl. But if you're willing to put in that effort, it's worth the purchase.

    March 2017  ·  Joe in RICHMOND, VA

  • The color on this fabric has a slight purple tone to it, but it breathes wonderfully and has a very dry hand.

    June 2016  ·  Henry in Rolling Hills, CA

  • Bought this to use as a casual shirt with a soft collar. It is so soft and comfortable that I find this as my go-to shirt. Doesn't hurt that this shirt gets compliments every time!

    June 2016  ·  Matt in Midlothian, VA

  • On of my favorite shirts. The fabric is soft but sturdy with a great pattern.

    May 2016  ·  Eric in Brooklyn, NY

  • This is an eye catching pattern that regularly gets compliments. The fabric is not very substantial though and therefore needs to be ironed/pressed in order to look sharp (easily develops wrinkles at the inside of the elbow, for example). Also, for some reason, the collar darkens relatively easily where it is in contact with one\'s neck requiring frequent washing.

    April 2016  ·  Athanassios in Summit, NJ

  • This one is just great- light enough for summer wear, can wear in a totally casual environment or dress it up a little for business casual. Very interesting print without being loud. This one gets a ton of use.

    March 2016  ·  Kenneth in Beverly Hills, MI

  • Thinner than expected as noted by others, but very nice looking casual fabric.
