A perfectly balanced thickness with a firm texture, previously hard to find.

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Ruedeback Half" is woven with 20/1 cotton yarn in the Enshu region, creating a densely textured plain weave. It's thinner than cotton canvas but thicker than sheeting or broadcloth, resulting in a canvas fabric with an ideal, previously elusive thickness.

Supple crispness and warm softness

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Ruedeback Half" is dyed using traditional dyeing techniques by artisans in Hamamatsu, a city renowned for textiles. This process maximizes the natural qualities of cotton, resulting in a warm texture with a pleasing balance of crispness and softness.

Cotton fabric that fades authentically and offers a vintage feel

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Ruedeback Half" is a plain fabric, but by using sulfur dyes, similar in properties to those for denim, and meticulously dyeing it over time to achieve vibrant colors, it allows for aging (経年変化) over long-term use. This means you can enjoy the gradual fading and friction-induced wear that gives it character, much like a well-loved pair of jeans.

8 Sophisticated Basic Colors

"Cotton Heavy Poplin Ruedeback Half" features a selection of subdued colors carefully chosen to bring out the rustic texture and warmth of cotton, creating a classical and stylish atmosphere.

*For the unbleached color, natural cotton specks are intentionally left on the fabric surface for a natural feel.
