Back Nep BB Shirt

The price is Duties and Taxes Included.

100% COTTON

This overshirt is based on the stand-neck uniform shirt seen in the early 1900s. It has loose sleeves, a long length, and a band collar. It also has pockets on the sides and can be worn instead of a jacket. Made of a dry cotton blend from the USA and Australia, using yarns spun in a way that creates neps by adjusting the machine when carding the raw cotton (a process to remove impurities and align the fibers in a certain direction). This is a very technical process, and it is difficult to get the neps to be strong or weak. On the other hand, it has a natural and rustic look. Since nep yarn is a weak yarn that breaks more easily than usual, delicate control is necessary when weaving. Therefore, we use an old-fashioned "rapier loom," which is capable of weaving with strength on weak yarns such as silk.
