Cotton Linen Twill Rudeback Half

"Cotton Linen Twill Rudeback Half" is made from cotton yarn for the warp and a cotton-linen blend yarn for the weft, both spun in Japan. This maximizes the appeal of both cotton and linen, resulting in a richly textured, natural feel.

Made in Japan cotton linen fabric, spun, woven, and processed domestically

"Cotton Linen Twill Rudeback Half" uses cotton yarn for the warp and cotton-linen blend yarn for the weft, both spun in Japan. It is twill-woven in the Enshu region and finished by dyers in Hamamatsu who are experts in natural materials, maximizing the appeal of both cotton and linen to achieve a rich, natural texture.

Return to a rustic, worn-in feel

"Cotton Linen Twill Rudeback Half" undergoes Rudeback® Half processing, using sulfur dyes that are prone to fading, similar to indigo dyeing. The intention is that by repeatedly washing the brightly finished fabric, it will return to a rustic, worn-in feel.

Each piece is carefully crafted with the skills of our artisans

Kijinomori's fabrics are created with the skilled techniques and intuition of local Hamamatsu artisans who are experts in natural fibers, focusing on creating texture, surface appearance, and dyeing techniques.

Rudeback® Half Processing

Rudeback® Half processing is Kijinomori's unique dyeing process to create a vintage-like texture that feels worn and familiar. Without applying excessive stress to the greige fabric, it is dyed repeatedly for vibrant color using sulfur dyes in a non-continuous, manual process, then washed out to finish. Fabrics treated with sulfur dyes have the characteristic of becoming softer with repeated washing, developing fading, scuffs, wrinkles, and color loss, adapting to the skin over time.

Handling fabric dyed with sulfur dyes

General washing is possible, but to reduce the degree of fading, use a neutral detergent for delicate clothes and wash with water. As the purpose is to encourage fading, always wash separately.

This fabric is left-hand twill.

Characteristics of Processing

Please note that there may be streaks, selvedge wrinkles, dye unevenness, slubs, neps, and weaving wrinkles as shown in the image above. These are not defects but rather part of the natural texture.

Cotton linen fabric for handsome styling, regardless of the season
