The band collar shirt is based on a dress shirt from the 1910s found in New York. In those days, white shirts (plain white dress shirts) signified elegance, and the ownership of a certain number of white shirts denoted the status. Eventually, detachable collars became available for those who only possessed the minimum necessity, enabling the owners to wear white shirts everyday just by changing and washing the collars. The design of this shirt _ shoulder line without a slope and tight armholes vertically attached with sleeves _ is quite unique in the 1910s when three-dimensional patterns ruled. The patterns consist of more straight lines than expected. In the product, we incorporated the straight lines and the missing band collar in the design. IVORY uses the fabric woven on an old-type power loom with uneven yarn made from 100% American cotton (COTTON USA). SAKURA uses cotton-rayon fabric with a splashed-pattern, and it is carefully dyed one by one using "cherry blossom dye", the traditional Japanese dyeing technique.
