The Tanuki Heavy Shiramayu T-Shirt Natural is crafted entirely in Japan using undyed cotton preserved in its raw state—like a “white cocoon.” The 10 oz fabric offers a firm, structured feel while maintaining the natural neps and texture of the fiber. Finished with the embroidered “二” logo symbolizing heritage and continuity, this piece represents authenticity, craftsmanship, and quiet refinement.

Tanuki Heavy Shiramayu T-Shirt Natural

Fit Notes: Although Tanuki is a Japanese brand, we find that its tees fit more like Western sizes than traditional Japanese ones. If you normally wear a size M in American t-shirts, you’ll likely find that size M works well here. As always, we recommend checking our size chart to ensure the best fit.

Alex wears size M t-shirt. He is 182cm (5 ft 11 in) tall and weighs 75 kg (165 Lbs). He usually wears a size M in American brands and either a size 40 or 42 in Japanese brands.

Crafted entirely in Japan, the Shiramayu T-shirt reflects Tanuki’s dedication to quality from start to finish. Every stage—spinning, knitting, and finishing—takes place in Japan, ensuring full control over craftsmanship and consistency.

The 10 oz, 8-count yarn gives this tee a substantial, structured feel that stands apart from standard basics. Only minimal finishing is applied: just enough washing to remove machining oils while avoiding any bleaching or dyeing. This preserves the cotton’s natural state, resulting in subtle neps and tiny cotton flecks throughout the fabric. These variations are not imperfections; they are a celebration of authenticity and gentle processing. The fibers retain their natural strength, allowing the T-shirt to age beautifully and remain durable over time.

The name Shiramayu (白繭 – “White Cocoon”) refers to this unprocessed and undyed condition, emphasizing simplicity, material honesty, and a reduced environmental footprint.

Featuring the embroidered Tanuki “二” (Ni) logo on the shoulder—symbolizing the link between past and future—its red and blue stitching pays homage to the Japanese flag and the heritage of Japanese denim craftsmanship.
