Here, women of the Karen ethnic group, living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, naturally dye cotton threads and weave the fabric by hand over several days. The orange-brown hue is dyed using a tree called "Pradu" in Thai, offering a rich and nuanced color characteristic of natural dyes. The handwoven fabric has a moderate thickness and becomes softer with each wash, ensuring a more comfortable wear over time. Furthermore, its generously oversized silhouette makes it incredibly easy and comfortable to wear. We hope you'll experience the beauty of natural dyeing and the comfort of handwoven fabric. These garments, filled with the charm of craftsmanship, also make perfect gifts. <size (approx.)> Width: 67.5cm (26.6′′) Length: 70cm (27.6′′) Neck circumference: 70.5cm (27.8′′) Sleeve opening width: 18.5cm (7.3′′) Slit: 17cm (6.7′′) ※ The item will be delivered pre-washed. ※ Model is 155cm (5′1′′) tall and is wearing the pre-wash product (length 73-75cm). <material> Cotton (naturally dyed, handwoven) ※ Synthetic fibers are used for machine-sewn parts. ※ After washing, gently stretch the fabric and dry to minimize shrinkage. ======================================= Instagram: @chikuchikutongtong "Chiku Chiku Tong Tong" is a fair-trade brand dedicated to preserving the traditional culture of the Karen people and fostering sustainable village development.

[Care Instructions for Plant-Dyed and Handwoven Products] Plant-dyed products are less resistant to washing and sunlight compared to chemical dyes, and their colors will change with use. Please pay attention to the following points when caring for and using them. Friction or moisture may cause color transfer or fading. Be mindful of color transfer when wearing or using light-colored clothing or bags. Using dark-colored clothing or bags may help to camouflage any color transfer. Darker colors are particularly prone to fading, so we recommend washing them once before wearing. When washing, we recommend handwashing separately from other clothes. If using a washing machine, use a neutral detergent, place the item in a laundry net, and wash on a gentle cycle separately from other clothes. However, machine washing may accelerate fabric damage and color fading. Avoid using a dryer and dry in the shade. - Sizing: Some fabric products may use rice starch for sizing the threads, which will typically wash out after about two washes.
