Riprap / POLO SHAPED SH S/S(POPLIN/TYPEWRITER BORDER) NAVY*WHITE

Riprap polo-shaped shirt (poplin/typewriter stripe).
This shirt was created by directly applying the design of a polo shirt to a woven fabric shirt. This was done considering the current climate in Japan.
"This is bad. It's getting to the point where I can't wear polo shirts in the middle of summer anymore..."
That's the idea behind this project. I've always loved and worn the heavyweight polos I've made so far, so this is a shirt that expresses that feeling.

To achieve the straight, boxy silhouette of a cut-and-sew garment, the pattern was designed to minimize the difference between shoulder width and body width. Upon closer inspection, the collar is subtly rounded, inspired by the collar of a knitted polo shirt. The shallow front slit gives it a different impression than a pullover shirt; this is another dimension unique to polo shirts.

For the SS25 season, there are two types of striped patterns, great news for striped polo lovers.
The colors available are navy/white (poplin) and dark brown/brown (typewriter). This time, we are offering a different color range than the long-sleeved version.

The sewing specifications include extremely fine stitching with 24 stitches per 3cm. The sides are finished with a 2-3mm wide flat-felled seam, a technique where the fabric edge is not visible. It is constructed using only floating interlining without any fusible interfacing, etc., incorporating many of the specifications of a dress shirt.

A polo shirt is an essential item for summer outfits. Enjoy the breathable feel against your skin that you can't get with knitted fabrics.
