Sobremesa Cotton Ikat Shirt

£235.00
Bright Blue
Size: L

A dropped shoulder contributes to the relaxed feel of our cotton shirt, which features a large-scale broken check ikat pattern. The cotton yarns are carefully bound and dyed to create the pattern, then hand-woven to create a soft fabric. The weavers work under master artisan Bikshapati Kolaan in the village of Yellanki in Andhra Pradesh. The collar has a loop closure allowing it to be worn open or buttoned up. Part of our Menswear collection.

Ikat cotton. Camp collar. Loop closure at collar. Relaxed fit.

Details

An age-old and complex technique of patterning cloth, whereby the pattern is pre-determined by tie-dyeing the yarn prior to weaving. The characteristic haziness of the pattern that emerges is a pleasing result of this hand process.
This fabric is handloom woven. Weaving irregularities are a pleasing characteristic of handloom woven items and should not be considered a fault.

Cotton Care Guide

Cotton is a comfortable, breathable, and easy-care fibre that holds dye well, making it an ideal canvas for vibrant colours and prints. Sourced from the cotton plant's seed pods, its natural and biodegradable properties make it gentler on the environment than other materials. Cotton can be transformed into a range of durable fabrics, including denim, poplin, and twill.

  • Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
  • Wash only when necessary to preserve shape, colour, and quality.
  • Reshape while damp by holding the seams and gently shaking the fabric out.
  • Dry flat or hang to reduce creasing.
  • If needed, iron while damp or use steam.
  • Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
