For sale here is a rare Visvim piece. This one comes from the fall-winter 2012 collection and is called the “fullcam” shirt. While Visvim consistently produces some of the highest quality products around with an almost obsessive attention to detail, they typically produce a few limited-edition, even more premium lines. Probably the most well-known of those is the Indigo Camping Trailer line, which is always done in very limited quantities and available from precisely one store. There are a few others, including their natural dye products, as well as the made in Italy and made in France tailored lines. This shirt comes from the made in Italy line.
If Visvim is anything, they are very particular about their materials. The made in Italy line uses top quality Italian fabrics, combined with the tailoring expertise Italian firms are known for. What you get is the same level of shirt you would find from a top Italian label, although done with Visvim’s very specific and unique detailing.
In this case, we essentially have two different fabrics used. The front side is a black cotton canvas, somewhat heavier than a standard weight cotton shirt fabric. The rear pockets and sides are done in a contrasting plaid pattern. The plaid fabric follows anatomic lines pretty closely, both ensuring comfort and creating a unique three dimensional effect.
Other details include branded buttons, made in Italy tag on the neck, Visvim tag on the interior, and hand detailing around the neck tag. These made in Italy pieces are produced in limited quantities, but are almost impossible to track down outside of Japan. Retail was just over $300 in Japan, and these would have cost you even more (around $500+) outside of Japan if you could find them.
Size is labeled a 2 and fits like a medium. I measure the chest at 21”, shoulders at 17”, length at 28.5” from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 23” from the shoulder. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Maybe just a bit of wear. Made in Italy.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
