SSS26-KSKW - "Kanoko Ai-Madara" Natural Indigo x Brown Sashiko Work Shirt
The Samurai SSS26-KSK Ai-Madara Sashiko Work Shirt is one of the most genuinely special fabrics the brand has produced in recent memory. For Spring/Summer 2026, Samurai developed an original sashiko cloth that combines natural and synthetic indigo blended dye with brown yarn to create a mottled, spotted surface texture that reads as organic and irregular rather than designed, the kind of pattern that looks like it developed over time rather than came off a loom. The indigo yarn is placed specifically in the sashiko sections of the fabric, where friction and wear are most likely to accelerate fading, meaning this shirt will develop in a highly localized, unpredictable way that no standard dyed fabric can replicate. Triple-needle chainstitch construction, chainstitch runoffs at the gussets, side gussets, double chest pockets, resin button opening, and Samurai's original Union Ticket carry the classic work shirt construction throughout.

| S | 21.5" | 16.75 | 27 | 24.5 | 21 | 21.25 |

| XXXL | 25.5 | 20.25 | 32.5 | 27 | 24.25 | 25 |
A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: This is what's called the "Western Cut" for all the north American shops that want the shirt to fit a bit larger than traditional Japanese sizing. For this reason, Tommy is able to wear a large in this piece and it fits really well. We would recommend you take your true size in this one. Tommy is 5'9," 165lbs with a 41" chest.
