Keep it long, treasure it long.

A cool piece cloaked in wind

Calm sea and sky, time flows leisurely. A refreshing linen shirt reminiscent of the scenery of Setouchi has arrived from SETTO, a manufacturer of products in Setouchi.

The RELAC A shirt has a unique, relaxed silhouette that is like a poncho. When you spread your arms, a unique shape like a flying squirrel appears, and when you lower your arms, the length is just right to hide your elbows. In addition, the length of the front and back is different, so you can enjoy the swaying and changing lines that occur every time you move. The small collar is also one of the points, and it adds a slight cuteness and gently enhances the atmosphere of the wearer, which is a unique good point of this shirt.

Kotohira-taki linen that is gentle on the skin

The RELAC A shirt is perfect for summer when you want to feel a cool breeze. The material used is "Kotohira-taki" linen, carefully dyed in Kagawa Prefecture. Kotohira-taki is a traditional dyeing technique that involves slowly dyeing the fabric in a small old-fashioned pot. The dye is slowly soaked into the fabric, taking the time and effort to create a soft texture from the core.

The linen fabric that is created through this careful dyeing process is gentle on the skin and wraps around the body softly. The more you wear it, the deeper the texture becomes, and it becomes a unique piece of clothing. This is a piece that you can enjoy changing over time.

Available in four colors: classic white (WHT), light gray (LGY) that blends well with the skin, bright and cool sax (SAX), and blue (BLU) that is reminiscent of the Seto Inland Sea. All of them are easy to wear and will fit into your wardrobe. It can be worn in a wide range of styles, and when paired with relaxed silhouette pants, it creates a relaxed adult casual look, or when paired with denim, it creates a light everyday style. We also recommend wearing it lightly with the buttons open.

Clothes that become your partner

SETTO continues to make comfortable clothes that are meant to be used for a long time. The brand has been developed since 2014 by Japan Blue Co., Ltd., a textile manufacturer in Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, known for providing materials to domestic and international brands.

Kurashiki and Kojima, now known as the mecca of denim, were once an island in the Seto Inland Sea. The land created by reclaiming shallow waters became a popular place for growing cotton, which is more tolerant of salt than rice, and the spinning industry developed. Before the war, when clothing began to become more westernized, they made school uniforms and jeans, and after the war, Kojima became a leading producer of jeans after the American workwear boom and jeans boom. Japan Blue Co., Ltd. has continued to make casual wear fabrics in Kojima, a place with such a history. This is why they continue to make convincing and valuable clothes.

SETTO's distinctive feature is that they consider material development to be design, and are particular about threads, fabrics, colors, and shapes based on the know-how they have gained from planning and selling textiles. They consider clothes to be long-lasting partners, and continue to create clothes that value the essence while finding the joy and fun of surprises and discoveries in everyday life.
