For sale here is a button down shirt from the Spellbound label, another in a long line of Japanese “American casual” labels. That is, Spellbound is strongly influenced by classic American workwear, although they tend to release their interpretations of workwear staples rather than simple re-hashes. As always with these types of labels, production runs are very small, with limited distribution even in Japan. Quality, however, is quite high. These are definitely painstakingly-made garments, done to a very high standard.
And that’s very much what you have here too. This is a very high quality shirt, done in the vintage style with double-needle construction, chainseam runoff, cat’s eye buttons, side gussets, single chest pocket, contrasting bottom button, and a tab detail toward the bottom of the button placket. Material is a nicely-knit medium weight cotton. Retail on this shirt was about $250 outside of Japan if you could find it, although it is now long gone. Get it here while you can at a fraction of the retail.
Size is labeled a 2 and fits like a medium. I measure the chest at 20”, shoulders at 17”, length at 27” in the front and 28” in the back, both from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 25” from the shoulder. The shirt comes in lightly used, excellent shape with no holes, tears, stains or obvious signs of wear. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
