Short Sleeve Western Kasuri Sashiko Shirt

Reaching across the Pacific ocean to combine the style traditions of the Old West and Edo-period Japan, this shirt is a crossover hit of the highest magnitude. It prominently features Sashiko-style stitchwork—a Japanese embroidery technique used to strengthen workwear garments—which incorporates yarns with various shades of indigo and gives the garment a semi-puckered, seersucker-like texture. Finished off with classic Western details like a pointed yoke and a snap front closure, this lightweight shirt sports a completely unique style that still manages to fit right in.
