Description
This T-shirt embodies that ideal and is crafted entirely from premium Samurai Japanese cotton. This fabric boasts remarkable character and offers an incredibly soft texture that we believe is unmatched in the T-shirt realm.
The Samurai Cotton project is the passion of Nogami-San, the owner of Samurai Jeans, who is dedicated to producing garments using Japanese cotton. So, what sets this Japanese cotton apart? Each fibre is carefully picked by hand, and the team navigates the challenges posed by typhoons and heavy rain in the Sasayama area (Hyogo prefecture) during autumn. The cotton plants are hand-planted, weeded, and harvested, with a commitment to avoiding any fertilisers or pesticides. This meticulous work is carried out by a team of Samurai employees, loyal customers, and friendly local residents of Sasayama. As a result, producing T-shirts from Samurai cotton is both costly and labour-intensive, yet it results in an exceptionally soft and high-quality fabric.
Samurai has spared no effort in creating the best possible T-shirt. They selected a #10 slub yarn made from their proprietary Japanese cotton, which is hand-harvested and woven in Wakayama using vintage looms. For the construction process, they turned to a traditional sewing workshop in Kyoto. The T-shirt features a binder neck created with two needles, and all seams are stitched using a vintage Union Special flat seamer (model 36200) from the 1960s. The henley neck is completed with premium genuine shell buttons.
Samurai jeans have established themselves as a legend within the Japanese denim industry. Founded in Osaka by Toru Nogami in 1997, Samurai embodies the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship, showcasing the heritage of Sengoku-era samurais and a relentless pursuit of excellence through superior materials, artisanal techniques, and distinctive detailing.

All sizing information is for guide purposes only.
Where possible we provide individual product size guides. If these aren't
available we provide a generic brand size guide. Individual garments may
differ from these measurements and we cannot guarantee the item you receive
will match these measurements exactly.
Many brands also have a level of tolerance in size differences
between the same item - this is usually 0.5 inches.
If no size guide is shown below, it means there is not one available at
present for this item and it will be added if/when it becomes available.
