The lantern-like rounded, three-dimensional sleeves and boldly cropped short length of the 23SS Short Shirts Jacket give it a leinwände feel.

It can be worn over a voluminous dress such as the Recycle Organgy Dress, and also under a knit vest like the Mix Roop Sleeveless Sweater.

In fall and winter, it can be layered over a fur jacket or knit cardigan.

As the name suggests, it can be worn as a shirt or a jacket.
It can be easily balanced with a variety of items and it is a piece that effortlessly blends in with your wardrobe, yet still has some edge to it.

In this time of the article we are introducing the design story of Short Shirts Jacket.

The design source of Short Shirts Jacket is the "60s Utility Shirt," a classic of US military vintage. It features a large square pocket on the chest and firm cotton back sateen fabric.
It is one of the items that the designer of leinwände herself has used for many years.
The 60s utility shirts are one of the items that have been loved and cherished by the people for a very long time.
The designer had always wanted to make it properly because it is a common item and also an item she is really
attached to.

The high-density cotton back sateen fabric used for this item adds a pinch of modernity and elegance to this work- inspired item.

The wash and slight bristling of the fabric gives it a soft, suede-like finish.
The fabric is a perfect match for a variety of materials, and is a tough material that ages well like denim, so as you wear it, the texture will come out and it will gradually become your own piece.

The entire processes from fabric processing to sewing of the Short Shirts Jacket, along with this season’s Denim Shirts and Work Trousers are done at a factory in Okayama Prefecture.

Okayama is one of the leading denim production areas in Japan. Many factories in Okayama are good at finishing delicate fabrics and sewing high-density fabrics.

Even though the heavy fabrics is used as the material, the rounded sleeves and deformed pattern of the Short Shirts Jacket are also beautifully realized with techniques of Okayama.

The fabric used for this item has been certified as "Kurashiki Dyeing ®︎", which is a safety certification for textile processing, and is certified by the Japan Textile Association (JTSA).
That shows us the fabrics are subjected to on-site inspections or verification of certification by documents regarding the inclusion of specific harmful substances.
The dyeing method used is highly safe even by global standards.

In addition, by conducting all processes from finishing the textile to production in Okayama, we are able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during transportation.

We choose to make our products locally in order to realize the philosophy of leinwände, as well as the design and silhouette.
