Hello.
This is Kamioda.
This time, I'd like to compare a new item with my personal one and explore the changes they undergo over time.
Please also check out the YouTube video!
By the way, do you hesitate to wash dress shirts?
I used to hesitate to wash my personal dress shirts because they would wrinkle and ironing them was a hassle.
As a result, I wore them less and less, and now I mostly just look at them (lol).
That's a waste, isn't it?
That's why I highly recommend KIMURA shirts.
Why are they easy to wash? Because even though they use beautiful fabric, you can wear them without worrying about wrinkles!
No, the wrinkles actually make them look cooler, so you'll want to wash them more and more.
Let's take a closer look at what changes occur when you wash them.
◯KIMURA 20-Needle/Cuba Shirt H/S
⑴ Puckering
Puckering is a signature feature of KIMURA shirts.
It's amazing how they can sew 20 stitches into a 12mm width so beautifully... Every time I see it, I'm reminded of the incredible skill involved in handcrafting these shirts.
Let's see how this changes.
This is my personal shirt.
What do you think?
The wrinkles in the fabric create rough shadows.
This is the key!
These rough, random shadows look more three-dimensional and cool when seen outdoors!
⑵ Color Difference
This is truly just my personal opinion, but...
The one on the left is new.
You can probably tell from the image that it has a glossy, smooth texture.
On the other hand, the one on the right is my personal item.
Doesn't it look "blacker" compared to the new one?
I suspect that by slightly suppressing the gloss, it appears to be a more matte black.
What do you all think?
◯KIMURA 5-Needle/Split Raglan Sleeve
⑴ Collar Wrinkles
Of course, for a dress shirt, a neat collar is best.
However, if worn as casual wear, a crisp collar can give a stiff impression.
Many people who dislike shirts dislike this "neatness."
So, what about KIMURA shirts?
The image above shows a new item.
It's smooth and the fabric is in a clean state without wrinkles.
This, on the other hand, is my personal shirt.
You can see wrinkles around the collar.
These wrinkles soften the "neatness" of the shirt, giving it a more casual impression.
Also, the three-dimensional effect created by the shadows from these wrinkles is cool!
⑵ Puckering
It's the same as the Cuba shirt, but what about this one?
This is my personal shirt.
Just like with the Cuba shirt, the rough, random shadows are really cool!
⑶ Color Difference
The right is new, the left is my personal item.
They're completely different, aren't they!
But it was only when I put the new and personal items side by side that I noticed such a change.
In the case of black fabric, the new one gave the impression of being a deeper black, but for white, it's the opposite.
The new one is whiter.
It might be due to wear and tear, but I actually like this more subdued look.
That's all!
Did I convey the appeal of KIMURA shirts to you all?
These shirts are cool on their own, of course, but they become even cooler with washing.
I believe their coolness can be further enhanced precisely because they are easy to wash.
If you're interested, please buy one and share any new insights you gain!
Well then, that concludes this entry!
Thank you for reading to the end!
