Short Sleeve tee in dark horse chestnut hemp jersey

by Mittan

Short sleeve t-shirt in natural dark horse chestnut hemp jersey by Mittan with traditional "tenchibiki" stitches at hem and cuffs, and reinforced shoulders and neckline.

This jersey fabric is knitted with fine-count yarn, spun from a blend of extra long staple organic cotton from India and hemp cotton from China. The addition of hemp to the cotton gives it a light and smooth texture while maintaining sufficient strength. Although it is relatively thin, the increased proportion of cotton makes it possible to maintain the shape, even after repeated wear.

Knots and uneveness in the threads are part of the unique character of the natural materials.

Garment dyeing is done using the seed part of the horse chestnut tree, produced in Japan (Nagano Prefecture), with an iron mordant.
