It was made for life — worn through farmwork and the rhythms of daily labor. That honest origin is exactly what makes it compelling today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe indigo-dyed collar is the defining feature of this piece. Rich in depth, it will continue to evolve beautifully with wear, developing the kind of patina that only comes with time and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining holds an unexpected story: it is fashioned from a tenugui (traditional Japanese hand towel) commemorating a visit to the National Diet Building. A quiet testament to the resourcefulness of the era — nothing wasted, everything repurposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound in the Tohoku region of Japan.
