design philosophy.

 

functional style.

The short-sleeve shirt was created by tennis players looking for mobility and artists looking to keep paint off their sleeves.

We embrace this functional spirit and combine it with contemporary cuts and fabrics to present these classic garments in new styles.

A brown cotton poplin carries an air of artistic refinement. 

A black seersucker cotton gives a street edge to the shirt.

A checkered lilac presents a Japanese city boy (シティーボーイ) sensibility.

 

 

material technology.

specialty cotton.

We make our short sleeve shirts in a variety of specialty cottons: seersucker cotton, cotton poplin, and ultralight pinstripe cotton.

The various cotton finishes allow us to play with pattern and texture, while accessing different functionalities and aesthetics: durability, breathability, wrinkle-resistance, layering, refinement, etc.

 

heatproof.

ambient.ware technology.

Our short sleeve shirts and built to excel in Southeast Asia's heat and humidity.

Made with fabrics engineered to be extremely lightweight, they release heat exceptionally well and can even be worn as a layering piece.

Relaxed cuts further promote airflow, keeping you cool even on a hot day.

 

nano-air pocket seersucker cotton.

A specialty cotton woven to create natural air pockets against the skin.

As the fabric no longer lies flat against the skin, this creates an additional cooling layer that immediately reduces the "feels-like" temperature by up to 2 degrees.

 

 

versatility.

layering.

The short sleeve shirt is designed to be worn both as a standard single layer and as a second layer overshirt.

Lightweight and breathable fabrics ensure the shirt remains comfortable even as a second layer.

This gives the shirt added versatility to be worn as a throw-on second layer if you're going somewhere chilly - overseas, the cinema, trains, malls, etc.
