The standout feature? Its indigo-dyed collar—deeply contrasted against the cotton body and adorned with traditional kanji characters. The balance between bold and refined makes this piece both wearable and artful.
It comes with one inner and one side pocket, offering unexpected practicality.
Over time, the cotton will soften beautifully with use—making it not just a piece to admire, but to live in.
