Wabash: Historical Soul meets Japanese Engineering
The foundation of this shirt is a beautiful 10oz indigo wabash selvedge denim. By employing the traditional dot discharge dyeing process, the iconic pattern is bleached into the indigo-dyed fabric. This ensures that the pattern remains a permanent part of the garment as it ages, fading in tandem with the deep indigo warp. As the fabric develops the brand's signature vertical fades, the Wabash dots will soften and blend, creating a one-of-a-kind patina unique to the wearer.
Artisanal Details and Construction
True to Kobayashi-san’s perfectionism, every component is selected for its quality and longevity. The use of natural gold lip shell buttons provides a sophisticated contrast to the rugged 10oz denim. The lapping seam construction is a testament to the high-level sewing skills found in Flat Head's specialized factories, ensuring that the shirt will stand the test of time. It is a high-performance heritage piece that perfectly captures the "50% complete" philosophy.
