TENDER TYPE 457 FROCK SHIRT COTTON PYJAMA HADAL BLUE
The Frock Shirt is a combination of a three-pocket work shirt and a tailored frock coat. The fabric is cut across the grain, with no side seams, and the shoulder seam is sloped back from the centre of the neck to the back of the armhole, connecting with the sleeve seam which runs along the back of the sleeve to the cuff.This way of cutting recalls 18th and 19th Century dress coats, where the sloped shoulder seam keeps the garment cleaner from the front, and the slight bias allows the fabric to be stretched in over the canvasses.
The shirt is cut with deep scooped tails, and is sewn with all-cotton thread and finished with dyed cotton-covered metal buttons and a Made in USA blue label.
Cotton Pyjama is woven in USA from American cotton and was designed for flan- nel-raising to become pyjamas fabric.Tender shirts, however, are made from the raw cotton fabric, straight off the loom.The patterns are cut extremely oversized, from the heavily starched cloth, but shrink down to a very soft, correctly sized garment during washing and dyeing.This shrinkage and textural change would normally happen during the flannel finishing process, but in the case of these shirts it happens on the garment itself, bringing the panels together and creating something more than the sum of its parts.
Garment dyeing raw cotton garments accentuates the manufacturing processes, shrink- ing the seams and bringing out latent texture from the yarn. Direct dyes lie over the top of the fabrics and sewing threads, rather than reacting with the makeup of the fibres themselves, and give a slightly less uni- form colour which shows up variations in texture and character of the garment.
The hadal zone, named for the Greek underworld, Hades, is the deepest oceanic zone, below the sunlight zone, the twilight zone, the midnight zone and the abyss.
