Evan Kinori - BIG SHIRT TWO KASURI WOOL CHECK (BROWN)

$725.00

A looser fitting buttondown with single chest pocket, corozo buttons, french seams, squared cuffs, pointed collar, more pronounced curved hem and ‘invisible’ placket. This shirt is based on the same fit of the Big Shirt - cut more relaxed in the chest with a dropped shoulder and a slightly longer body compared to the Two Pocket Shirt.

This exceptional yarn dyed kasuri worsted wool check was originally developed in the 1990's by a legendary textile designer based in Ichinomiya, Japan. I have been fortunate enough to visit his archive and was struck immediately when I first came across a small swatch of this cloth. Beginning with Australian merino wool, the kasuri (ikat) dye process results in an irregular check pattern - woven loosely with a gauze structure and then washed to tighten the weave for a puckered texture. The resulting cloth is a rather airy, light weight worsted wool with a very dry hand - a transitional three season cloth.

  • Evan Kinori established a foundation in pattern-making well before attaching his name to the garments he produced. Slowly but certainly, he would develop his own series of clothing silhouettes, creating a canon of "thoughtful, well constructed garments". His references stem from century old workwear and military uniform styles, but with softer, pared down sensibility and an adept attention to textile choice and components. The collection maintains an inherently organic feel, while promising enduring, lifelong wear.
