Bark Damage Henley Neck / Cut-and-sew

This is the ultimate garment, translating the brand's identity of "deconstruction and reconstruction" into a basic innerwear piece: a henley neck. Based on a "lustrous 100% cotton material" knitted to the highest gauge possible, and featuring "distressing" applied by skilled Japanese artisans, it perfectly coexists both pristine beauty and a decadent aesthetic.The core design of this item, the "henley neck," has its roots in 19th-century Britain.【History of the Henley Neck】 Its origin lies in the uniforms worn by rowers at the traditional "Henley Royal Regatta" held in Henley-on-Thames, England. Later, due to its ease of wear and freedom of movement, it was adopted as underwear by the British and American armies. Its rugged and functional appearance is truly the origin of the male wardrobe.This piece reinterprets that military-derived "henley neck" into contemporary fashion through our deconstructionist patterns and Japan's finest processing techniques.■ MaterialThough 100% cotton, it is knitted to an extremely high gauge (ultra-dense), suppressing surface fuzz and achieving a silky, elegant luster and smooth feel. Despite its substantial texture, it is incredibly supple, conveying its high quality the moment it is worn.・"High Functionality" of Natural MaterialsThis high-density knit structure imbues 100% cotton with modern specifications: "cool touch," "moisture permeability," and "UV protection." It is truly a "functional natural material," keeping you comfortable and protecting your skin even in the scorching heat of summer.■ DesignHoles and abrasions are scattered across the neck, cuffs, hem, and body. All of these are "intentional damages" applied by hand, piece by piece, by skilled Japanese artisans. The contrast with the perfect high-gauge material creates a unique presence.・"Versatility" of 4 ButtonsThe henley neck's chest buttons have been changed from the usual three to four. By opening and closing the buttons, the depth of the V-zone at the chest can be more finely adjusted, providing high versatility for layering with innerwear and showcasing accessories.・"Hand Warmer (Thumbhole)" Embodying Functional BeautyThe distressed cuffs have been reconstructed to include a "hand warmer" specification that allows the thumb to pass through. While giving a rugged feel to the hands, similar to military outerwear, it also functions as warmth in winter and an accent when layering.The 4-button henley neck peeking out from a double-breasted jacket, and the distressed hand warmers peeking out from the cuffs. This layering of "perfection and imperfection" is the new era style proposed by CÈDRE.
