Free Arm Shirt

Tailored workwear that allows remarkable movement crafted with soft, thick Japanese cotton fabric.
We offer a variety of fabrics to be worn all year round, regardless of the season. Here are the characteristics of each fabric, such as softness, thickness, and texture.

Light Cotton

The special weaving technique applied alternates between highly twisted yarns and intentionally looser twist yarns creates a unique ‘dry’ touch. This weaving technique helps give the fabric a crisp feeling but still allows improved breathability and lightness for comfort. This paper-like lightweight natural cotton is created in Japan.
