SAMURAI JEANS SSS26-ATW Tropical Weather Long Sleeve Olive

About this product

A classic single pocket buttonup shirt from Samurai, made from their newly developed tropical weather fabric.

Samurai created this fabric through analyzing vintage military fabrics, originally developed for tropical regions over half a century ago, and then taking that knowledge to Japan's world-class textile artisans in order to create something incredible. The resulting fabric could be compared to a Panama weave in the sense that both incorporate interlocking threads in order to create a lightweight fabric with a somewhat mesh-like texture, but it's not quite the same.

The functionality of this sort of material has already been proven for decades, but Samurai has given this fabric their own spin by incorporating slubby yarns and manipulating the gauge of the fabric at their Banshu factory, a mill with over a century of history, and the only mill in Japan with the technology to produce and refine this fabric into something even more functional than the original. Samurai has incorporated slubby weft yarns to give it more texture, a more comfortable feel, and to create more separation from your body for airflow. Finally, Samurai's tropical weather fabric has a scattered density and is dyed through layers, so the dye penetrates more heavily into the less-dense sections and leaving the denser areas lighter in colour, highlighting the woven pattern inherent to the fabric.
