MOMOTARO JEANS - Sashiko CPO Shirt Indigo

Where it’s made: Made in Japan
What it’s made from: 100% cotton, indigo-dyed sashiko fabric with black pre-dyed threads
Fit description: Relaxed fit with compact collar and functional action pleats

This work shirt from Momotaro is cut from a yarn-dyed sashiko fabric that combines indigo-dyed base threads with black sashiko stitching. Over time, the black threads become more pronounced, giving the fabric a rich, evolving character that develops into a patina unique to each wearer.

The design takes inspiration from classic workwear, updated with refined tailoring. Functional double action pleats run down the back, allowing greater movement while also adding visual depth, while the compact collar and relaxed fit create a balance of elegance and comfort. Made in Japan, it reflects Momotaro’s signature approach—heritage-inspired garments with a distinctively modern edge.
