Indigo-Dyed Long-Sleeve Shirts: A Timeless Blend of Tradition and Style
Crafted with care from high-quality indigo-dyed fabric, our long-sleeve shirts are the perfect fusion of style, comfort, and sustainability. The unique "JAPAN BLUE" is achieved through the natural indigo dyeing process, known for its rich, lasting color that won’t fade over time. Ideal for any occasion, these shirts will elevate your look with their classic design and versatile appeal.

Indigo dyeing is a centuries-old, environmentally friendly technique that creates a stunning blue hue found only in natural indigo. This one-of-a-kind color blends seamlessly with nature and cannot be replicated with synthetic dyes. The appeal of indigo lies not just in its visual beauty, but also in its historical significance. Traditionally, indigo has been valued not only as a dye but also for its medicinal properties, with antibacterial benefits that are even being used in treatments for atopic dermatitis.

The dyeing process includes three methods: plain dyeing, thread dyeing, and weaving techniques. In modern times, most indigo dyeing involves dyeing the cloth itself, resulting in a deep and durable color that ages beautifully over time.

Care Instructions
As the shirt is made from upcycled fabric, we recommend washing it separately to prevent discoloration. Hand washing is advised, and we suggest shade drying to preserve the color and quality.
