Kasuri is a Japanese textile technique that literally means “splashed pattern” and it is found in the warp or weft or both threads.  Indigo dye is used for kasuri as well as pigment dyes and discharge techniques, such as what is used on this shirt by Real Japan Blues. This weaving and dye technique is very labor intensive and unfortunately, in today’s Japan, only a few elderly weavers of this technique continue their textile artistry.  On the Black shirt the red print is from a Kasuri pattern while the white lines are painted on by hand with a discharge “ink” and on the Red shirt the black lines are from the Kasuri weave and the white lines are painted on by hand. Yes, we said painted on, by hand. Every line is a brushstroke.  Available now State-side at Self Edge.

Self Edge’s take on a classic western chambray shirt stays true to classic stylings but adds a few twists. The front pockets have been flipped, pocket flaps are a curved arcuate shape, and the buttons are a little different than what’s normally found on a vintage shirt like this. The chambray used is part of Cone’s White Oak collection, this Sea Green Indigo Dyed shade has immense character for a chambray and is sure to age beautifully over time.  Available in short and long sleeved versions both in store and on their on-line shop.
