KANEMASA PHIL 36G Wool Check Balise Shirt No.KM26A-019 BLACK WHITE

"Balise" means a model in French, meaning 'sign', representing the sizing and detail between workwear and dress, shirt and blouson.
The size that can be worn in any situation is a guiding pattern for us. A checkered material that has become a staple.
Using the proprietary jacquard model called the 36G, we created a checkered pattern.
A new standard material that only we can achieve, combining high stretch, comfort, firmness, sheen, and easy care that you won't stop wearing once you put it on.
By adding 20% wool yarn, we have expressed functionality and unique colors that offer crispness, warmth, and quick-drying properties, making it suitable for wear all year round.
During dyeing, heat is applied, causing the wool side to shrink, creating a grainy texture, resulting in the mysterious fabric called wool shearer.
The details are dress shirts with all roll-up stitches and shell and butterfly buttons.
Among them, sleeves and similar items were created with the image of a casual blouson.
A one-of-a-kind shirt that fuses the crispness, sheen, and well-balanced silhouette of the fabric, blending the dressiness and patterns created by the fabric.
The brand logo is placed on the back of the button.
*Rolled stitch – To improve skin feel and prevent the edges of the fabric from being visible, sew once with the machine before covering the fabric, then sew it again.

English Description “Balise”—meaning “signpost” in French—is our new style embodying the sizing and details between workwear and dresswear, shirts and blousons. This versatile fit, suitable for any occasion, serves as our guiding pattern. Our signature check fabric. Created using our proprietary 36G Jacquard loom, this check pattern boasts exceptional stretch. Once worn, its unstoppable comfort, crispness, sheen, and easy care make it a new standard fabric only we can achieve. By incorporating 20% wool yarn, we express functionality for all-season wear—including crispness, warmth, and quick-drying properties—alongside unique color tones. During dyeing, heat causes the wool fibers to shrink slightly, creating a subtle crinkle effect. This results in a unique fabric we call Wool Seersucker. Details include dress shirt construction with all flat-felled seams and pearl buttons. The sleeves, however, are designed with a casual blouson feel. This one-of-a-kind shirt blends the fabric's inherent stiffness, sheen, and well-balanced silhouette with a dressy feel and pattern. The brand logo is embroidered on the back of the buttons. ※Rolled hem stitching - A sewing method where the fabric edge is hidden by stitching over it a second time after the initial stitching, ensuring a smooth feel against the skin.

This is a gingham check. It's a pattern that feels like going around now.
And I made it with a seersucker-like vibe. I added wool to give it a grainy texture.
If you look closely, the check is not just neat, but rather irregularly shaped, making it feel more appealing.
This vibe is nice. It's not too pretty, with a slight vintage feel, and a unique check feel you won't find elsewhere.
I also like the colors. The catchy blue white really lifts my mood.
The size is as large as a shirt jacket. The front pocket features fine stitching and pattern coordination, making it look casual and not too casual—this is the Kanemasa technique.
This is a great product that can be worn year-round. Please be sure to wear it over your sleeve.
