A long sleeve shirt woven from indigenous Desi cotton on wooden frame looms in West Bengal. Woven at 105gsm, the cloth is light and breathable, with a soft, textured hand feel from the first wear. A rounded hem keeps things simple and easy, worn loose or tucked.

I work with a family of weavers in West Bengal who weave this cloth by hand, using indigenous cotton and traditional wooden frame looms. The yarn is dyed before weaving using only plant and mineral based dyes, indigo for the blue, so colour runs all the way through the thread rather than sitting on top.
