Samurai Jeans SJST-SC01 Japanese C... Samurai Jeans SJST-SC01 Japanese Cotton T Shirt

SAMURAI COTTON PROJECT

By about 1970 cotton production had effectively ceased as an industry in Japan, with 99.9% of all cotton being imported into the country. In 2008 Toru Nogami, founder of Samurai Jeans, began growing 100% Japanese cotton in Okayama Prefecture, later moving north to rural Hyogo Prefecture. This is the cotton found in this T-shirt.

The cotton grown at the Samurai Cotton Project plantation is short-staple which results in an extremely slubby handfeel for this tee. The cotton is totally organic - no pesticides or chemicals involved.

This T-shirt is entirely made in Japan - the cotton is from Sasayama, the sewing and dyeing is performed in Kyoto and the knitting in Wakayama.

A note on the colour from Samurai: "Purposely not bleached or dyed, we've preserved the natural ecru colour and atmosphere of the organic cotton itself. This colour is known as 'kinari' in Japanese."
