Two new pieces from CONFECT — a pale indigo denim shirt and high-twist ramie shirts, each pairing with undyed trousers. The blue doesn't sit on the surface; it emerges from within the material through weave, twist, and finish. Layered with natural-toned trousers, the result is something light and considered for summer.

A near-white denim. Bleached cotton in the warp, lightly indigo-dyed cotton-hemp in the weft — an inversion of the usual denim construction. The colour supports the white surface from within rather than coming forward. Natural neps and tonal variation in the hemp yarn give the cloth a quiet, uneven texture. Light for a denim.

Used for a short-sleeve cover shirt and painter pants.

Fine ramie, tightly twisted, then crepe-finished for a textured surface. Pronounced crispness on contact, minimal skin adhesion, good airflow. The pale blue stripe appears almost dimensional through the sheer, uneven surface of the yarn.

Each process — sizing, dyeing, twisting, weaving, finishing — completed in Japan. Used for a sleeping shirt and a short-sleeve regular collar shirt.
