For sale here is a linen shirt from the Bru Na Boinne label operating out of Japan. Bru Na Boinne is another one of those smaller Japanese labels with limited international distribution. They specialize in high quality, vintage inspired design, differentiating themselves with a relaxed aesthetic and often incorporating a healthy dose of indigo.
This shirt comes in a 97% linen, 3% cotton knit. The knit is highly textured, the sort of fabric that is knit on low tension vintage shuttle looms. This is the sort of piece where you can see the individual threads woven together on close inspection. Linen is an excellent warm weather fabric. It is light in weight and naturally cooling. It tends to be on the more expensive side as far as fabrics go, but there is nothing quite like a good quality linen out there.
The shirt comes with branded horn buttons and in a relaxed fit. Bru Na Boinne is one of those labels that tends to fly under the radar, especially outside of Japan, but have a strong cult following. These shirts retail at about $300 in Japan but get it here much more reasonably.
Size is labeled a 1 but fits relaxed, more like a medium or a large. I measure the chest at 24” / 61cm, shoulders at 19” / 48cm and length at 30” / 76cm. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
