pintor shirt in brown yoryu

handmade in portland This fabric is from Japan as well sourced from Uni Textile. The fine wrinkles are created by differences in the tension of the wrap threads giving the fabrics a unique uneven texture. It allows air to pass through and one can stay cool while wearing it. The cotton cloth is carefully folded and dipped in 75℃ water and dried in the sun to create the fine wrinkles and patterns called shibo. Shibo gives a lightness to the fabric and prevents the fabric from sticking to the skin when sweating.
