Tesomeno-ya Hand-Dyed Plain Organic Cotton T-Shirt with Loopwheeled Jersey, Long Sleeve "Miruiro" (Seaweed Green) - Men's/Women's [OL-MIRU]

　

"Tezomeya" is a dyeing studio in Kyoto that specializes in natural dyes. They produce items such as T-shirts, dyed with traditional Japanese natural dyes including madder, pomegranate, yashabushi (Japanese alder), and gallnuts.

Their main hand-dyed T-shirts are entirely original, from the material to the detailed design, pattern, and sewing.

The yarn used is "Fox Fibre" organic cotton, which is highly compatible with natural dyes. They also custom-produce a unique fabric called "Tsuri Tenjiku" (hanging knit jersey) using a rare "hanging knitting machine" that can knit the yarn loosely without tension, making it resistant to losing its shape even after extensive use.

Please take your time to enjoy these meticulously hand-dyed items, which are the result of research into the balance of all elements: selecting materials compatible with natural dyes, sewing, silhouette, and comfort.

A stylish piece with an appealing, subtle color unique to natural dyes.

This color is "Miru-iro" (seaweed green).
The dye used is Bayberry (Yamamomo).

It's a fashionable color, a reddish khaki green, that would go well with military-style fashion.
The "Miru-iro" (seaweed green) is so deep and rich that simply calling it khaki doesn't do it justice. It has a profound, dark hue that creates a calm atmosphere.

Miru refers to seaweed, and the natural, rustic hue perfectly matches the image of seaweed.

The bayberry dye is made from the bark of the bayberry tree. Due to its antiseptic properties, it was historically used as a remedy for burns and other ailments.

The subtle, hazy color, which is difficult to achieve with synthetic dyes, is the result of meticulous attention to every detail, including natural dyes, organic T-shirts, and their compatibility with natural dyes.

This T-shirt has a versatile color that suits both men and women.

Female model: Height 170cm
Wearing size 165cm

Its simple style ensures it can be cherished for a long time.
Emphasis has been placed on the fit and elegant silhouette when worn.

With its gentle comfort, it is also recommended as an inner layer or sleepwear.

Why not casually wear a T-shirt that combines the gentleness of organic cotton with the unique, nuanced colors of natural dyes?

This item is popular with both men and women. It is recommended for personal use, as well as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, White Day, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, Christmas, and other occasions.

The fabric is made using a "hanging knitting machine," a type of knitting machine used from the Meiji era until around the 1950s.

While a hanging knitting machine produces at one-thirtieth the speed of modern machines, it can knit yarn without tension, creating a uniquely soft and shape-retentive fabric called "Tsuri Tenjiku" (hanging knit jersey).

The yarn used is "Fox Fibre," an organic cotton from the United States.

Fox Fibre undergoes minimal processing such as degreasing or bleaching, so it contains many "impurities" like natural waxes. However, for natural dyeing, cotton with more such "impurities" tends to absorb dyes more deeply and richly.
