This shirt has been made from the fabric,
The greatest feature of this shirt is
The most distinctive feature of this shirt is its 6.5 ounce original chambray fabric.

The most distinctive feature of this shirt is its 6.5 oz. original chambray fabric, which is dyed with Indigo and Kaeshi dyeing.

First of all, Kaede dyeing is a dyeing method that dyes the core of the yarn.
A bundle of cotton yarns is first soaked in indigo, then taken out and squeezed.
From there, they are exposed to air and oxidized repeatedly,
The yarn is then exposed to air and oxidized.

The dye process is repeated many times, so that even the core of the yarn is dyed,
The result is a fabric with a wonderful texture.

The color is dyed well all the way to the center, so it is basically fade-resistant,
The more you wear it, the more you can enjoy the deep and unique fading of the texture.

Here is a worn aging sample.
The indigo has fallen from the neck to the shoulders, and the shading has become more pronounced.
It has an indescribable austerity.

The shoulders and neck of jackets tend to show color fading called “ATARI”,
These areas tend to change over time.

The buttons are made of cat’s-eye shell buttons for a luxurious feel.

Even vintage chambray shirts
I don’t think the color will fade so beautifully.
Vintage chambray shirts are often dyed only on the surface of the yarn
Because many chambray shirts are made by rope-dyeing, which is a technique where only the surface of the yarn is dyed,
the color fades away quickly,
FOB FACTORY’s give-dye is dyed with a darker indigo color,
FOB FACTORY’s FOB dyed shirts are dyed with darker indigo, so the shading comes out more beautifully and the color fades more beautifully than vintage shirts.

The sewing also uses a lot of rolled stitches,
This is to increase the durability and to be able to wear it for a long time.
The fabric also has a bite called “puckering”.

The chest pocket will have a home base type pocket.
From around the 1930s
This type of pocket has been seen on work shirts since the 1930s.

This is the back yoke part.
This part was added to make the shirt fit on the shoulders.
Vintage chambray shirts were made based on formal wear shirts,
the width of the yoke is narrower.
The back yoke is made of a different fabric direction,
The back yoke is faded vertically and horizontally.
The fading atmosphere is similar to that of jeans, which is called “vertical fading.

This is the gusset part.
This part is a piece of cloth attached to the hem of the front and back garment to prevent it from tearing.
It was seen until the 1960s,
However, with the evolution of sewing technology, it was no longer used.
FOB FACTORY uses gussets with selvedge accents.

The silhouette of the shirt,
With a slightly wider body width and a slightly longer length,
It is a sophisticated silhouette that does not make you look dowdy while being relaxed,
