No.104-106 MAKING WORK SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT

* 100% Cotton
*Machine Wash
*Made in Japan
*Factory-made work shirt : This product is a short-sleeved work shirt made from high-quality indigo selvedge chambray, produced in Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, which is known for producing "yarn dyed" fabrics, where the yarn is dyed before weaving. Skilled craftsmen carefully sewed the shirt in a domestic factory. The chambray is woven on an old-fashioned shuttle loom using indigo-dyed yarn, resulting in a soft texture. By varying the indigo dye for each color, a faded appearance is achieved, but this is not achieved through any processing that causes color fading, thus maintaining the original texture and achieving an expression similar to the fabric's natural aging over time. The shirt features a selvage called "red selvedge" which is woven on the shuttle loom, on the front placket and both sides of the hem. After the fabric is sewn, it is finished with water washing and tumble drying, which creates a moderate wrinkle and a worn-in feel. Additionally, the shirt does not shrink even after repeated wearing and washing. The buttons are vintage-style cat-eye buttons, and the woven name is made using high-quality materials produced at a domestic factory.

*The color may differ from the actual one depending on the color development of the monitor. Thank you for your understanding.

*There are variations depending on the processing, and there is some expansion and contraction in the fabric.

The making of THE INDUSTRY WORKS

THE INDUSTRY WORKS creates Banshu woven shirts. The thread is first dyed, then woven in the "saki-zome" method, so that you can enjoy the beautiful color and high quality of the fabric. Our team of professionals takes on the process of design, warping, weaving, cutting, sewing, finishing, and packaging to create each shirt. We will continue to build on these detailed and careful techniques to create each shirt and deliver it to you.

The manufacturing process of THE INDUSTRY WORKS shirts 

01 Warping

Warping is the process of arranging the warp threads by color to realize the pattern of the fabric. After winding, the warp threads are brought to the weaving factory.

02 Weaving

Weaving is the process of placing warped threads on a loom, and weaving through the weft threads to realize the pattern of the fabric. This completes the woven fabric. After this, it is finished to the desired texture at the final factory.

03 Cutting

Cutting refers to cutting the fabric accurately according to the pattern. It is done carefully by our specialized cutting staff. 

04 Sewing

This refers to "making clothes" by sewing the cut parts together with a sewing machine. They are carefully tailored by sewers in our factory. 

05 Finishing

Attachments such as buttons, labels are affixed to the sewn products, and wrinkles are smoothed out with a hand iron or press. The finishing process is carefully conducted to create an even more beautiful final product.

06 Packaging

We package the products in a box stamped with THE INDUSTRY WORKS logo. The quality of the product is delivered simply, without excessive packaging. We value direct delivery from the production area, and deliver them one by one to their new owners.
