The UES Indigo Extra Heavy Indigo Tricotine Shirt is a showcase of Japanese craftsmanship and fabric innovation. Woven with tightly twisted, rope-dyed indigo yarns in an ultra-dense tricotine weave, this shirt delivers one of the sturdiest and most durable shirt fabrics UES has ever produced. The tricotine structure—a form of double twill—creates a diagonal ribbed texture with exceptional weight and density, allowing it to function as a shirt, overshirt, or lightweight jacket.

Using fine-count yarns on a vintage power loom, UES has achieved remarkable fabric rigidity that will gradually soften with wear and washing, developing a distinct patina over time. The tricotine fabric is designed to offer both structure and longevity, ideal for heavy-duty daily wear.

The shirt is finished with meticulous construction: rolled and triple chain-stitched seams for enhanced durability, a reinforced hem using a piping process, and ivory palm nut buttons that add a refined touch with their natural gradient tone. Every detail reflects UES’s philosophy of blending functionality with heritage-quality design.

Fit Notes: UES shirts tend to run small compared to American sizing. Due to their Japanese sizing and slim fit, we typically recommend sizing up. For example, if you usually wear a Medium in American brands, a size 3 (Large) in this shirt should provide a good fit. However, we always recommend checking our size chart to ensure the best fit for you.
