Samurai’s midweight herringbone twill fabric is carefully dyed to a soft “asagi” indigo finish using the traditional kasezome method.


Kasezome (糊染め) is a Japanese dyeing technique in which the yarn is dyed before being woven. Performed in-house and entirely by hand, this labor-intensive process highlights Samurai’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship.


The result is an impressively textured shirt in a one-of-a-kind shade of indigo. In terms of fit, this work shirt is cut on the slimmer side of a regular fit—generous, yet with a flattering, tailored edge.
All finished with tough, triple-chain-stitched construction with classic run-off stitch detailing.
