A work shirt made of original rope indigo heavy flannel fabric. The fabric is a heavy flannel check that combines the dark blue indigo rope-dyed thread that is normally used for denim with colored thread that is dyed with a special reaction dye that fades naturally. The fabric is a combination of a denim shirt and flannel and, although it is a shirt, it fades and changes over time like denim, yet still has the unique coloring of flannel. The unique orange fabric used here was inspired by 'joshikimaku', or the official curtains seen in traditional Kabuki theaters. We also changed up the weave structure here to give the fabric a look meant to resemble sashiko. The black fabric is woven using only black and indigo yarns, and while the color may look a bit plain at first, the ombre check pattern will slowly reveal itself with time and wear. The black color is available only at overseas stores or those shops directly managed by Samurai.
