From the brand: Inspired by 1940s American vintage Hawaiian shirts, this piece combines timeless resort style with the traditional Japanese art of natural indigo dyeing, a technique that has been practiced since the Edo period.
Each shirt is dyed using a natural fermentation process without any synthetic chemicals. The color is created solely through the fermentation of sukumo (composted Japanese indigo leaves) and natural wood ash lye, producing a rich, authentic indigo unlike any chemical dye.
Because no harsh chemicals are used, the fabric retains its original softness, offering a smooth, comfortable feel from the very first wear. Experience a unique fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and classic American style.

Care Instructions (Natural Indigo Dye)
This garment is dyed with **natural indigo**. One of its unique characteristics is that the color will gradually fade and develop a distinctive patina with wear and washing, enhancing its beauty over time.
Please follow the care label and observe the following precautions:
* Color may transfer to other garments or surfaces through wear or friction.
* We recommend wearing dark-colored undergarments, as color transfer may occur.
* Wash separately, as the dye may bleed. In particular, avoid washing with light-colored items, which may develop yellowing due to exposure to ultraviolet light or humidity.
