An ode to ancient Japanese Shibori dye techniques is masterfully deployed in this fabric to produce an organic combination of color and shape. These are the Japan Shibori Dye shirts in a new version we call the Pulse.
Shibori dye techniques are thought to date back to the eighth century in Japan. As a class of resist-dye methods, the fabric is tied in various patterns to allow the dye to penetrate certain areas and not others. In the USA, we call it tie-dyed. The hallmark of the technique is flowing patterns that can range from simple lines to complex repeating shapes. We love the fundamentally organic style that results from this old-world, manual technique. The colors are simply stellar in these. The special fan print we call the pulse.
Our short sleeve button-up fits just like the long sleeve. It shares the same beautifully tailored body, not too slim, but fitted. High armholes keep the body lines clean. A very gently scooped bottom hem that works wonderfully un-tucked or tucked. A no-button collar that’s perfectly sized to sit well.
We labor over every construction detail. Extensive single needle stitching is used throughout. All our closures are made from true mother of pearl. The front placket is also pleated, made the right way, using a true two piece construction. The feel is more substantial and the effort higher, but it's the right way. A rounded chest pocket completes the front.
Button-up shirts that are made in the USA using our quality of material and construction are typically priced much higher. The Gustin model, with your support, lets us do better.
"This salt & pepper plaid shirt is **** awesome. Fit, feel, and look are amazing! Best looking shirt I own. My wife gave me “the eye” when I walked into the kitchen wearing it. Thanks for making it!"

"I really love Gustin. I just don't think I'd choose another brand at any price point. And I love watching for new products/return of old favs. But a very important part of the experience is the great customer service."

"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
