とても着やすかったです

白の半袖を買わせていただきました。
身長177cmの細身体型で、普段はMサイズを着用しがちですが、この商品はSサイズでちょうど良かったです。

デザイン性もさることながら、しっかりとシャツらしい着心地で、私服出社が可能な環境でしたらジャケットと合わせてもピッタリかとおもいます。
最近は暖かい日が多いので、今シーズンもまだまだ活用できそうです。

個人的に今後アイロン掛け不要な素材で出してくれるとすごく助かるなぁと思いました。

この度はありがとうございました。

スタイリッシュなシルエットでとてもかっこいいです。着物衿で和な雰囲気のコーデが手軽なできるし、洋装にも合わせやすく色々なコーデが楽しめそうです！

サイズ感については、タイトめに着たいと思ってXS購入(158cm女)
普段はMサイズのためちょっと心配でしたが胴回りは全然大丈夫でした。私はガタイいい方だと思うので肩周りと袖が少し窮屈かなと思ったけど、激しく動くわけではないのでとりあえず問題なしです。

とても好みだったので、KASANEシャツも購入検討中です。笑
これからたくさん着て出かけたいと思います。素敵なお品ありがとうございました！

シャツ感がむしろ良かった。

パリッとしていてYシャツのような質感。これが羽織などと合わせる時に「ジャケットと合わせるシャツ」感がよく出ていて良かったと感じる。
また、袖や背中側の形状もパーツだけ見たらYシャツそっくりなので、素材がそれらとマッチしていて良かったです。

Excellent quality and service

The Samurai Mode Shirt II is a very recommended purchase, you can use it casual style or in a special occasion too. Top quality and craft materials. Very smart design.

fantastic

Sharpened silhouette like a refined sword

Next Kimono=Samurai Mode Series is designed to bring the quality of the kimono into modern clothing.

The Samurai Mode Shirt Series expresses a sharp silhouette similar to that of a tightly fastened kimono obi. The chest area is designed and patterned so that it is hard to be exposed, creating a solid and sharp impression like a sword. Just by wearing this item, you will feel as if your body is tightened up. The finished piece feels just like a sword.

A blend of Japanese and Western design that fits both styles

Like a regular shirt, it can easily be combined with jackets and cardigans, and can also be layered under other vintage haori to complete the kimono style with ease.

Kimono motif collar design for a sharp neck and décolleté line

A modern basic western shirt with a kimono collar design. From a distance at first glance, this basic cotton shirt is easy to match with both formal and casual wear. The deep V-neckline makes the neck look beautiful. In the past Shirt series, customers have commented that the shirts look solid and sharp, but when actually worn, they are cooler and less constricting than expected thanks to the neck design.

Two kimono-inspired strings

Sharp silhouette, yet comfortable to wear. Two adjustable ties around the waist create a comfortable fit that is less constricting than a traditional kimono. When the inner strings are tied tightly, the bust can be adjusted to create a more kimono-like collar.

Fabrics and sewing are made in Japan

This shirt is made of 100% cotton with shell buttons and carefully sewn one by one by Japanese artisan.
You can enjoy a more kimono-like style when wearing it with Jacket and Pants II.

History of the Samurai Mode Shirt Series

KUDEN does not like disposable designs that are released season after season in order to abolish mass production and mass disposal.
A kimono can be enjoyed by changing the material, color, and textile of a single design.
Like kimono, KUDEN aims to create “designs that can be loved for more than 10 years” that are versatile and can be enjoyed for a long time without being thrown away.
Samurai Mode Shirt was born in 2018, and was updated to a more sophisticated silhouette with Shirt II.

-Designer's Voice-

Wearing dignified harmony in daily life

Clothes sometimes become “armor” that represents who we are.
In this era of ever-accelerating speed, we are forced to make decisions, choices, and wounds on a daily basis, and we must move forward.
As a manager, designer, and above all, as a father raising a son with disabilities, I myself have had to stop and hesitate many times before reaching this point in my life.

Samurai Mode Shirt II was created for Samurais’ living in this modern age.

Since the first “Samurai Mode Shirt” was released in 2018, we have evolved it to be more functional and more beautiful in response to the feedback from many customers.

■ Silhouette as dignified as a sword
A sharp waistline, like when you fasten a kimono obi.
It is not just a beauty.
Even when your mind is in turmoil, when you wear this shirt, you will naturally stand taller.
The deep V collar changes even the expression of the wearer, like a mirror reflecting the spirit and determination within.
The angle of the front ties and the position of the strings were also prototyped over and over again, in pursuit of a balance that would not collapse when moving, yet would not be too tight.

■ Focus on Comfort and the Environment
Because we want you to incorporate this into your daily life, we have paid particular attention to comfort.
The two strings that fasten at the waist allow you to finely adjust the size, so that it fits your body but does not constrict.
Even if you wear it for a long time, there is no stress, so that not only your back but also your mind will be lightened.
For the cufflinks, we used natural shell buttons instead of plastic.
It may be a small choice, but I believe that the accumulation of such choices will create the environment of the future.

■ Your style, your own “choice”
The “Samurai Mode Shirt II” is available in several variations.

KASANE（重ね）
This is a shirt with a layered collar that allows you to express your own individuality through the combination of colors and laces around the collar. This shirt allows you to play with it as if you were arranging the collar of a kimono.

Chill
The linen-like, dry-touch fabric is a relaxing and easy to throw on even in the hot season. For holidays, for travel, with your imagination.

YUZEN
This special shirt is wet-drawn by a yuzen craftsman in Kyoto, and each dragon and cherry blossom is hand-painted and inhabited by hand.　This is truly a piece of clothing for those who live with art.

■ Clothes that we want to wear 10 years from now
We do not release a large number of new products each season.
We work on a single design for years, making improvements to it before finally releasing it.
This is because I myself sympathize with people who choose clothes based on their beliefs, not on trends.
Samurai Mode Shirt II is truly a “garment we made together” that has evolved based on reflection and learning from the first Shirt I, as well as your feedback.
As the clothes are loved for a long time, the operation of the sewing factory can be stabilized and the burden on the environment can be reduced as a result.
We believe that such a “cycle of kindness” can be achieved in clothing production.
We hope that when you put on this shirt, you will feel a little more “dignified and taller.
And if you feel that you have remembered your own beliefs.
That would give me the greatest pleasure.
I hope that KUDEN's clothes will become a part of your “way of life. With my best wishes.
