100% Japanese Cotton Denim Shirting - Classic Blue 'Plus'
- 148cm Wide
- Approx. 150gsm
Classic Blue 'Plus' was meant to be the 'Classic Blue' but it is a different dye lot. The Classic Blue (original) is no longer available. This version is a little different tonally. The blue is a bit darker and muted than the Classic Blue, but it's not as dark as the Dark Blue colourway. It's a beautiful quality, soft Japanese cotton denim that is perfect for shirts and shirt dresses, as well as skirts and loose pants. It would also hold some lovely ruffles and a full sleeve. This has some drape, but it will keep some body.

Cloth Care:
Cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problems. Wash colours separately. The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet, and placed on a hanger to dry. To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade. Cotton needs a warm to hot iron. Conduct a spot test. Cotton is dry cleanable.
