・Using Chizimi Cotton 40/40 embossed fabric made by Sakao Orimono.
"40/40" means a fabric woven with 40 count yarns in the warp and 40 count yarns in the weft.
About the texture of fabric: around the thickness of a light shirt.
(The higher the count number, the finer the yarn and the thinner the woven fabric is.)
・Hand-printed with Kyoto Stencil Yuzen dyeing.
※Due to the nature of Kyoto Stencil Yuzen (hand-printing), slight misalignment of the pattern may occur, which is a characteristic of the dyeing process.
※Due to the nature of dyeing process, uneven dyeing and color fading may occur.
※Products with the same color name may vary slightly in color due to different materials.
※As a characteristic of Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing, the fabric is printed by repeating the stencil on a plain fabric. As a result, lines called "Katakuchi" may inevitably appear at places where the stencil joins.
＞About Katakuchi※The rib around the neck is made of Chizimi Cotton embossed fabric.

[About Dyeing of Chizimi Cotton]
When dyeing Chizimi Cotton, color may not fully penetrate into the deeper crepe texture of the fabric.
【About Chizimi Cotton】
・A cotton crepe fabric produced in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture since the Edo period, using strongly twisted yarn in the weft to create a textured surface and crisp feel.
・The crepe texture reduces the area that touches the skin, allowing sweat to be absorbed in points and dispersed across the surface, with a perceived cooling effect of approximately -2°C.
・Excellent performances in Sweat absorbing · Quick drying · Air permeability · Hygroscopicity · Moisture release.
・Takashima chizimi cotton, which has benefited from the natural resources of Lake Biwa, boasts the highest production in Japan.
The embossed fabric used in this product has elasticity (rate: about 135%), making it easy to move in and comfortable to wear.
Due to emboss processing (an embossing process that gives uneven crepe-like pattern) , the frayed thread may be twisted and popped out. This is not a defect and can be fixed by cutting away the popped threads.
