Hand-dyed Meya tie-dyeing/tie-dyeing hanging knit organic cotton T-shirt short sleeve "Smile" for men and women [OT-SB21]

"Tezomeya" is a dyeing studio in Kyoto that pursues dyeing with natural dyes. All of these "hand-dyed, tie-dyed, and tied organic T-shirts" are first plain-dyed with natural dyes such as madder, pomegranate, cornflower, and gallnut, and then over-dyed with indigo using techniques such as tie-dyeing and tying, resulting in complex yet gentle colors and patterns. Also, depending on the dye used for the under-dye, the color of the over-dyed indigo changes subtly, creating a rich natural color variation that is also appealing!

In addition, all of the T-shirts at Hand-dyed Meya are original, from the materials to the detailed designs, patterns, and sewing! The thread is made of "Fox Fiber," an organic cotton that goes very well with natural dyes. And, using a rare "hanging knitting machine" that can knit softly without tensioning the thread, they custom-make the "hanging jersey" fabric, which does not wear out easily even with use.

This is a carefully hand-dyed T-shirt that is the result of careful research into the balance of all elements, such as compatibility with natural dyes, comfort, and silhouette!

A simple design with a curved line around the chest.

It looks like a smiling mouth, and somehow it cheers me up!! The simple dyeing and subtle line design are innovative, and the sharp contrast between the indigo and the dyed parts is also nice!

In addition, the soft feel of the dye creates a gentle atmosphere. It can be used as a highlight in a simple outfit or as an accent color. It is a design that can be easily matched with any outfit.

It goes well with standard bottoms like denim or khaki pants, but you can also pair it with fluffy cotton skirts or linen bottoms for a natural and cute look! The color of the drawstring adds an accent to the whole look, so it can create a variety of different looks, from cute to chic, depending on the color! The cute, smiling design will make you happy just by wearing it♪

The material, silhouette, and sewing of the T-shirts are all originals made by "Tesomemeya"! Of course, they are made in Japan.

The yarn is made from American organic cotton called "Fox Fiber." Fox Fiber is hardly ever degreased or bleached, and contains a lot of "impurities" such as natural wax. However, when dyed with natural dyes, the more impurities there are in the cotton, the deeper and darker the dye will be.

The fabric is made on a knitting machine called a "hanging knitting machine," which was used from the Meiji period until around the 1950s. The production speed of a hanging knitting machine is one-thirtieth of that of the machines that are mainstream today, but because it is possible to knit without applying tension to the thread, it is possible to create a unique fabric called "hanging jersey," which is very soft and does not wear out easily.

The silhouette is cute with small sleeves, slightly dropped shoulders, and slightly tapered sides! The body is knitted into a tubular shape on a loopwheel, and there are no seams at the sides, so it will not lose its shape easily and you can wear it for a long time!
