ORIGIN: Made in Japan
With deep roots in Japanese fabric history, Sashiko is a traditional form of embroidery used to repair and embellish well-loved, well-worn items of clothing. Here, Iron Heart have incorporated the sashiko method into a jacquard weaving process. The result is a heavyweight work shirt—perhaps the heaviest in Iron Heart’s repertoire—with unparalleled character. Not only does the jacquard weave impart a densely pebbled texture to the fabric, but the addition of running, sashiko-style threads also adds further tonal flourishes throughout. As the fabric’s yarns are rope-dyed indigo, this work shirt will only grow more unique as it breaks in and fades over time.
