NONNOTTE / Oversized Shirt

The material is made from organic extra-long staple cotton spun into a thick 35-count single yarn. It was jointly developed as an original nonnotte material with Kaneta Orimono, a weaver in Shizuoka Prefecture known for the world's highest density weaving.
Its defining feature is that it is woven as densely as possible with a thick count.
The finishing process applied to the material this time is a clear finish, and we chose this clear heavy broadcloth in the hopes of creating a shirt with a more dressy look that can be worn tough.
The aim was to achieve a dressy look and a tough, casual feel.

First of all, toughness. Typically, shirts are made with a count of 100 or 200, and the aesthetic is that the thinner the better, but I personally have memories of shirts that wrinkle after just one wear, and the difficulty of caring for them has made me put them off.
However, if you simply weave broadcloth with a thick count, it will just end up being a durable casual material like oxford.

We felt that it was necessary to create a fabric with a high density and beautiful surface that rivals that of dress shirts. However, there were no weavers capable of weaving thick, high-density yarns, so Kaneta Orimono stepped up to develop it, and after many years they were finally able to complete it.

Since it's 100% cotton, it will naturally wrinkle, but I hope you'll appreciate the uneven creases that reveal the strength of the thicker count as one of the characteristics of this material. I believe this is a charm that cannot be replicated with finer counts, and I personally wear it without ironing. This shirting material is unique, so I hope you'll enjoy its toughness over time. This collection comes in two colors: a warm winter white, or snow white, and a new, attractive Turkish coffee, a deep brown with a hint of green. The style is a classic. We aimed for a timeless, three-dimensional oversized look. We aimed for a size that will be a lifelong companion. It can be worn like an outer shirt, but the volume is not too bulky, allowing it to be used as an inner shirt, and we created it with practical everyday wear in mind. The designer himself has been wearing it without ironing for five years, and it still looks beautiful and healthy. The potential of this material is truly immeasurable.
