KATO Anvil Birds Eye Shashiko Shracket

This season Kato is offering The Anvil Shirt Jacket in Birds Eye Sashiko. The word Sashiko means “little stabs”. It is a reference to the needle movements in the stitching technique used to mend and reinforce clothing in Japan since the 1600s.

The “Birds Eye” weave is a version of Sashiko that gets its name from the dotted pattern created by the contrast of white stitching over the traditional rope-dyed indigo fabric. The indigo will eventually fade with wear like a selvedge denim jacket. This 10oz Sashiko fabric is perfectly suited for a lightweight spring/summer jacket and showcases a uniquely patterned surface while maintaining a soft feel.
