■About the product
What is "Square Top"?
As the name suggests, it is a square shaped top. The design is based on "Kantoui" (a garment that opens a hole in the center of the fabric to let the head pass through) which was born in the Yayoi period.
・Made using Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Circulor washing-processed fabric by Sakao Orimono.
“20/20” refers to fabric woven with 20-count yarn for both the warp and the weft.
About the texture: Similar to shirt-weight fabric suitable for year-round wear.
(The higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn and the thinner the fabric.)
・Dyed with Kyoto Stencil Yuzen Dyeing technique.
※Due to the nature of hand-printing, slight screen displacement may occur but it is a feature of dyeing.
※Due to the nature of the dyeing process, uneven color or fading may occur.
【About Chizimi Cotton】
・Produced in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, with a long history dating back to the Edo period. Strongly twisted weft yarn creates a distinctive crepe texture that feels cool and breathable.
・Because the textured surface reduces contact with the skin and allows moisture to evaporate easily, it is said to lower the perceived temperature by about 2°C.
・Excellent sweat absorption, quick-drying, breathability, moisture absorption, and moisture release properties.
・Takashima chizimi cotton, which has benefited from the natural resources of Lake Biwa, boasts the highest production in Japan.
※Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Circulor washing fabric may have a slightly different shrinkage ratio depending on the color/pattern due to the dyeing process.
【About Dyeing of Chizimi Cotton】
When dyeing Chizimi Cotton, color may not fully penetrate into the deeper crepe texture of the fabric.
The Circulor washing-processed fabric used in this product has elasticity (Stretch rate: approx. 120%), making it comfortable and easy to move in.
