Hand Dyed Meya Hand Dyed Color Plain Loop-knit Tenjiku Organic Cotton T-shirt Long Sleeve “Fuji Nezuiro” Mens Womens [OL-FUJ]

"Tezomeya" is a dyeing studio in Kyoto that pursues dyeing with natural dyes. They mainly produce T-shirts and other items dyed with traditional Japanese natural dyes such as madder, pomegranate, cornflower, and gallnut.

The main products, hand-dyed T-shirts, are all original, from the materials to the detailed designs, patterns and sewing processes.

The yarn is made from organic cotton called "Fox Fiber," which is highly compatible with natural dyes. The fabric is specially made to order using a rare "hanging knitting machine" that can knit softly without applying tension to the yarn, creating a "hanging jersey" fabric that does not wear out easily even with long use.

Please take your time to enjoy our carefully crafted hand-dyed items, which are the result of careful research into the balance of every element, from the selection of materials that work well with natural dyes, to the sewing, silhouette, and comfort.

This stylish piece features the tasteful, subdued colors that can only be achieved with natural dyes.

This color is "Fujinezuiro"
The dye used is gallnut.

As you can imagine from the name, it is a soft, muted blue-purple color that is a mix of wisteria and a touch of gray. The soft color, which is difficult to achieve with synthetic dyes, was achieved by paying particular attention to everything, including natural dyes, organic T-shirts, and compatibility with natural dyes.

Among the color variations offered by hand-dyed textile shops, this color falls into the gray category, but depending on the amount of light and whether it's indoors or outdoors, it can look more purple.
Although it is called purple, it is not a noble or elegant color; it is more of a subdued purple-ish blue-gray.

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 currently mainstream machines, but because it is possible to knit without applying tension to the yarn, it is possible to produce a unique fabric called "hanging jersey" that is very fluffy and does not sag easily.

The yarn used is American organic cotton called "Fox Fiber."

Fox fiber is hardly ever degreased or bleached, and contains a lot of natural impurities such as wax. However, when dyed with natural dyes, the more impurities the cotton has, the deeper and darker the dye will be.
