Today, we'd like to introduce the shirts from DEVOA available at FASCINATE_THE R (Osaka, Shinsaibashi).
This season, DEVOA offers a wide range of shirts that can be chosen for fall tops or as inner layers for winter outerwear, considering design preferences and coordinating items. They boast simplicity in design for ease of use and extraordinary spirit.
In this introduction, we'll focus on the no-collar shirt with a regular silhouette, made from the same material as the previously mentioned regular collar shirt.
Minimalistic Design with Attention to Detail
The minimalist design is notable, featuring a clean neckline that reveals no stitching except at the hem. The front has a double layer, making it difficult to see through even when worn on bare skin.
It is available in black and white, and the straightforward, non-habitual colours are fresh for DEVOA.
The neckline is also double-layered with the same material to avoid seam allowances rubbing against the skin. By covering and hiding the seam allowances, discomfort is minimized during wear, ensuring high comfort.
Hand-stitched closures designed for both aesthetics and functionality bring the warmth of handcraft, while the thick carved horn buttons add an elegant nuance to the overall design.
Refined Silhouette and Comfortable Fit
The silhouette presents a regular fit that gives a neat appearance around the shoulders while forming a three-dimensional shape through two seams on both sides.
By slightly enlarging the back panel compared to the front, it maintains a relaxed feel when worn while providing a visually streamlined impression.
The arm and shoulder mobility is ample, and the fabric under the arms is thoughtfully designed to accommodate movement without compromising the smart appearance.
It captures a balance between sleek looks and comfortable wear, achieving both aspects at a high level without compromise.
Designer's Handpicked SUVIN Cotton
Regarding the material, we would like to reintroduce it. They've woven the highest-quality Egyptian cotton, SUVIN cotton, into a 170-count ultra-fine yarn, creating a broadcloth by doubling the threads.
Designed with meticulous attention from fiber selection, yarn production, fabric weaving, to expression through finishing, this is the designer Nishida's carefully selected fabric.
The surface is finely textured, offering a soft touch characteristic of cotton yet resembling silk. Despite its delicate appearance due to the use of extremely fine yarn, this fabric is home washable, just like regular shirts.
It's treated with special processes to enhance wash fastness, hardly pill, and retain the unique shine of SUVIN cotton.
The greatest charm of this material is its top-tier quality combined with everyday comfort.
While the material might seem suitable only for more elegant styles, this shirt's unique rough-textured appearance works great even with relaxed silhouette pants.
I've personally worn this fabric shirt multiple times and washed it. After washing, I reshape it on the hanger slightly while hanging to dry, resulting in a slightly wrinkled texture.
Washing it in a net on the cleaning setting is recommended, I've done a casual wash, folding it loosely and then stretching it slightly while hanging to dry.
It has a slightly washed appearance from the start, and wrinkles naturally come off as it dries, so it's quite easy to handle and pleasant.
Comparison between Regular Collar and Mao Collar
Let's compare this shirt with a different material shirt.
The previously introduced regular collar has an orthodox design and a loose fit.

Model 183cm/63kg. Wearing size: shirt/ size 3, pants/ size 2, shoes/ size 42.
On the other hand, the Mao collar is constructed with a regular fit and a longer length.

This shirt has a similar length to the regular collar, with a regular fit silhouette.
While each design's features, silhouette, and balance differ, they all share elements of being simple and refined.
The material, design, and silhouette are all fantastic, and on the first wear, we'd like you to thoroughly savor the shirt's texture and details.
Adding a touch of variation and creating various atmospheres is also enjoyable.
Each design's unique attributes blend harmoniously without being overly assertive, resulting in a very wearable and refined outcome.
Excellent as Inner Wear
Thanks to its easily balanced length, it suits casual items like knits and jackets.
With its no-collar design, it's adaptable to accessories such as scarves.
It can be worn sharp when standalone or worn casually for a relaxed look, making it ideal as inner wear beneath outerwear with distinctive necklines.
Although it's a different material, here we have a reference. When used within classic coats or jackets, it adds a touch of elegance as an accent.
