Short Sleeve tee in dark natural indigo hemp jersey

by Mittan

Short sleeve t-shirt in natural dark natural indigo 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 dyed in Kyoto, Japan, with natural indigo. A leguminous plant from India. The extracted indigo solution is chemically reduced and used for dyeing. It undergoes a process of oxidation, which fixes the color.
