Samurai Jeans - SJST26-103L Geisha Navy

The SJST26-103L aka the Geisha...

About 100 years ago in Japan during the period known as the Taisho period, Western culture began to be introduced into Japan, and in terms of art, the previously prevalent Japanese style graphics underwent a major change.

In this period of transition to a new culture and a new era, people called it “Taisho Romanticism,” referring to the individuality and culture of the people who lived with the ideals of a better future in mind. 

Based on the combination of colors that symbolized that era, Samurai has depicted one part of Japanese culture that still remains today: the geisha.

This original heavyweight T-shirt series is made from carefully selected high-quality raw cotton, slowly knitted with thick 14-count slub yarn on an old-fashioned circular knitting machine, the "daimaru-ki," which was active in Japan in the early Showa period, resulting in a richly textured fabric.

This fabric, knitted at a low speed with thick single yarn, has a warm and tasteful appearance, as well as a firm feel and supple softness. The collar is a highly durable binder neck with three needles, which is resistant to stretching even after repeated wear. It is sewn using a special three-needle, one-drop sewing machine.
