Standard Button Down Long Sleeve Shirt - Kendo Blue
The Graph Zero Standard Button-Down Long Sleeve Shirt in Kendo Blue is a distinctive garment that blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary fashion. Crafted by Graph Zero, an artisan denim brand from Kojima, Kurashiki - a city renowned for its premium jeans production - this shirt exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and innovative design. It draws inspiration from classic 1940s and 1950s dress shirts, infusing a workwear sensibility that is timeless yet unique. The fabric mirrors the weave of traditional kendo uniforms, featuring indigo rope-dyed warp threads combined with weft threads of solid blue. The blocking of fabrics and stitching is Graph Zero's interpretation of an ancient Boro Garment. A notable design element is the sashiko-like pattern created by the warp threads at regular intervals, adding a playful and unique touch characteristic of Graph Zero's original fabrics.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a XL in the images in order to get a more roomy, workwear look. They list this shirt as "Slightly Slim" but it's pretty slim compared to American cuts. This is why our sizing starts a Lare and works its way to XXXL. We would recommend sizing up at least once on this shirt to start. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs, with a 40" chest. He normally wears a large and is wearing XL here.
