This is a limited-edition Studio D'artisan t-shirt, commemorating the brand's 45th anniversary with the exclusive use of Akane dye sourced from the natural red madder plant. This dye imbues the tee with a luxurious and distinctively rich hue. Delve into the rich history of madder red dyeing in Japan, tracing back centuries, with historical accounts hinting at its presentation as a gift by Queen Himiko and its adoption as the iconic red hue of the national flag, famously referred to as the ""Hinomaru,"" during the Meiji era.
Crafted from premium short staple cotton sourced from the USA, this tee evolves gracefully over time, embracing its vintage inspiration. Meticulously constructed, it features a resilient ribbed collar that maintains its shape through countless wears and washes.
All SDA tees run smaller in size compared to your regular American size. Typically, if you wear a size M in American t-shirts, you will need to select a size L in this. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
