Hand-dyed Meya Hanging knit jersey Organic cotton T-shirt Short sleeve Undyed Natural color Women's [OT-KIN-LADIES]

"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 used is "Fox Fiber," an organic cotton that 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.

This off-white T-shirt is simple yet full of the gentleness of its material. It is made from organically grown cotton, and is not bleached or degreased during the process of making the yarn or fabric, making it a truly "natural, original organic cotton T-shirt."

Organic cotton material retains the natural, rustic texture that cotton plants naturally have. The best texture is an undyed, unbleached organic T-shirt.



The sides are slightly narrowed and the sleeves are small. It is designed to fit well when worn and to create an elegant silhouette.


The back is also simple.

The fabric is made from American organic cotton called "Fox Fiber."
Like vanilla beans in ice cream.



The silhouette is elegant, with small sleeves, slightly dropped shoulders, and slightly tapered sides. The body is knitted into a cylindrical 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.

It goes well with classic bottoms such as denim and khaki pants. Why not try wearing this T-shirt with the softness of organic cotton and the natural feel that comes from not being dyed?

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 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.
