Crafted in Okayama on vintage "shuttle loom" looms, this shirt carries a substantial weight of 11.4oz, making it a standout in its class. What sets it apart is the unparalleled texture and raindrop effect, a surprise even to us at Redcast, where such unique textures are rarely seen in shirts.

Based on the design of an old vintage work shirt, this UES creation exudes timeless charm. The shirt is meticulously crafted from UES's original 11.4oz double weave denim fabric, ensuring it ages beautifully with every wear and wash, creating a narrative that is uniquely yours.

The distinctive texture is achieved through the use of indigo rope-dyed uneven yarn and a 3:1 twill weave structure on the surface, emphasizing the classic denim look. Weighing 11.4 ounces, the fabric is woven with a thicker thread than typical double weave fabrics, imparting a substantial and authentic feel. Vintage power looms, operating at a quarter of the speed of modern machines, are employed in the weaving process, obtaining a beautiful texture and character.

UES shirts tend to run a bit small compared to American sizing. Along with their Japanese sizing, they offer a slim fit, so we usually suggest going one size up from your regular American size. If you usually wear a size M in American brands, you'll find a good fit with this shirt in size 3 (L). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.

UES is a small Japanese label founded by Chuji Matsumoto in 1994. UES comes from the English word "Waste", which means that Matsumoto-San wants you to make full use of each garment for as long as possible before discarding it. It is a small judgement of the concept of disposable wear that is so commonplace today in the world of fashion and from which Matsumoto-San disassociates himself completely.
