A finer representation of Sashiko that pays homage to a historically significant sewing technique. Light in weight, but incredibly rich in character and in a truly rare selvedge composition. This is the Sashiko Superlight Selvedge.
Note: We recommend sizing up one from your usual Gustin size.
The inspiration for this style is the traditional Sashiko sewing technique. Used as a functional sewing technique for repairs and decorative effects, Sashiko is respected for its handmade style, prominent stitching, and patterning effects. This style uses a Dobby weave to recreate the stitch style. A geometric box pattern is rendered in a ticking stitch style. This grid is punctuated by more prominent cross-hatch marks throughout. Colors bring the style to life in a tonal blue palette with white pops for contrast. A feathery light 5 ounce weight and gauzy feel make this fabric art a joy to wear. A thick white selvedge ID is the perfect finishing touch.
Do not launder with oxy/bleach. Do not oversoak or patch will bleed.

"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."
