Studio D'artisan 5713U Men's Sashiko Work Shirt Used Indigo New
Experience authentic Japanese heritage with the Studio D'artisan Heavyweight Sashiko Work Shirt. Made in Japan from 100% cotton, this long-sleeve shirt brings traditional Japanese sashiko texture into a modern workwear silhouette. It's woven on dobby looms using thick indigo-dyed yarn, giving the fabric a raised, dimensional pattern. Sashiko cloth is traditionally prized for its strength (it's the same reinforced weave used in firefighter happi coats and judo uniforms), but this shirt keeps a surprisingly soft, flexible hand that feels comfortable against the skin.
Studio D'artisan is known for blending classic workwear styles with time-honored Japanese textile techniques. To achieve its pre-faded indigo character, this piece undergoes a specialized ball bio-wash treatment. The process creates a rich contrast between deep and faded indigo tones, bringing out the texture of the sashiko stitching while pre-shrinking the fabric so the fit stays consistent after future washes.
The shirt has a regular collar with a collar band and a full-open front closed with six corozo nut buttons. Construction follows vintage workwear conventions: double-needle stitching throughout, a reinforced back yoke, two chest patch pockets with button closures, single-button cuffs with cuff slits, and side gussets along the rounded hem.
This is a brand-new shirt with a modern fit and slim armholes, easy to wear on its own as a button-down or layered over a t-shirt in spring and fall, or under a jacket once the weather turns cold.
