Shiro Trace is a beautifully tactile cotton shirting distinguished by rhythmic rows of raised texture inspired by the quiet stitchwork of sashiko. Set against a soft ivory-white ground, the subtle linear detailing gives the cloth depth and character while retaining a restrained, highly wearable appearance.

At approximately 250 GSM, this fabric has noticeably more substance than conventional lightweight shirting. It holds the clean silhouette of a relaxed shirt, overshirt or shirt dress beautifully, yet remains supple and comfortable rather than firm or rigid. Its softly structured body allows collars, cuffs, patch pockets and considered seam details to retain their shape without making the finished garment feel heavy or restrictive.

The generous width and versatile midweight construction make Shiro Trace particularly suited to garments that sit between shirting and lightweight outerwear. Its tonal texture can be appreciated from close range while appearing quietly minimal from a distance.

Pre-washing is recommended before cutting. Wash gently in cold water using a mild detergent and wash separately for the first few washes. Do not bleach or scrub the textured surface.
