Today, we would like to introduce DEVOA 23-24AW (Autumn-Winter) collection, which is available at FASCINATE_THE R (Shinsaibashi, Osaka), following the previously introduced SUVIN cotton broadcloth shirt, we would like to introduce a silk cotton fabric with a sandblast finish. This fabric is available in collarless and regular shirts.
This fabric is available in two designs, collarless and regular collar, in black only.
In this article, we would like to briefly introduce the differences and similarities with the SUVIN cotton type, focusing on the atmosphere of the fabric and the characteristics of each design.
Two designs: regular collar and collarless。
Let's start with a brief look at each design.
The collared one basically follows the design of an orthodox formal shirt, but is made in a loose-fitting silhouette with drop shoulders.
The elbow area is tucked to create a three-dimensional shape, skillfully blending DEVOA's unique characteristics.
As for the length, it is almost the same as conventional DEVOA shirts, but you may feel that it is made just a little shorter when worn.
The length is easy to balance whether you tuck it in or take it out.
Model 183cm/63kg. Wearing size: Shirt/Size 3.
Next is a collarless shirt.
This one has a slightly higher neckline, giving the impression of a semi-high neck. It has a regular fit silhouette. The length is about the same as the collared version.
Model 183cm/63kg. Wearing size: Shirt/Size 3.
Details with various hidden meanings
Looking at the details, the elbows are tucked to create a three-dimensional shape, the same as those of SUVIN cotton, but the sleeves and hem are cut off, and tape is sewn on the back for reinforcement and to prevent fraying.
The cuffs are also cut round, a cutting used for DEVOA shirt jackets.
Although the fabric and the overall atmosphere of the shirt are firmly shirt-like, the details give it a rough feel and differentiate it from other shirts.
The neck is hand-stitched with bartacking that also serves as a design, so that the seam allowance does not touch the neck.
Some of the colors have been changed to accentuate the design.
Incidentally, this bartacking has another hidden meaning. It is said that there is a meridian point (a place where nerves of the human body are gathered) where seams can be easily set when making a 3D cutting pattern, and if the seam allowance contacts there, the wearer will feel discomfort and discomfort.
DEVOA has adopted this detail in order to prevent the seam allowance from touching such a point as much as possible.
It is interesting to see an item with such an episode.
Atmosphere, characteristics, care, and aging of the fabric
The reverse side of the shirt is made of a thin cotton-lawn so that it will not be transparent even if worn on bare skin.
This is a detail that can be worn with no worries by those who wear shirts without underwear.
SUVIN cotton is flat, fine, and shiny, giving it a luxurious and elegant image, but this one has been sandblasted to minimize the luster of the silk, giving it a slightly faded, tasteful hue, with just a hint of such elements, So, this shirt can be worn in a more natural way with such nuances.
As is common with all of DEVOA's shirts, except for the fabrics that are made with the best of intentions, the shirts are produced in a way that prevents them from losing their shape, getting furry, or getting wrinkled.
Instead of such aging changes as getting weary, the fabric softens and becomes rough, while keeping its shape beautifully, so you can enjoy the changing atmosphere without changing the silhouette.
Styling Samples
The basic design of this item is very simple, so you can enjoy the fabric directly with simple styling or wear it in a relaxed way.
Naturally, it can be used as an inner layer for jackets and coats, or for a more casual layered look, a knit cardigan might be a good option.
The colors are exquisite, and the silhouette and details are moderately rough, but not too rough.
The overall atmosphere is created by the mix of exquisite details, including the material, so even if you wear it simply, it creates an atmosphere, and if you use it as an inner layer, it will show its presence casually.
Above all, DEVOA shirts are simply stylish items, so please try them on.
We guarantee you will fall for them.
