Docking side pleats blue striped crewneck beige tee / blouse

• Origin:  Conceptually designed and meticulously produced in Japan.

• Material:  High-twist Cotton Jersey (Tee body) for soft stretch and breathability; Technical Polyester-Cotton Blend(Sleeves/Panels) for structural crispness.

• Silhouette:  Relaxed, "docking" profile with a clean ribbed neckline and voluminous architectural sleeves.

• Features:  Specialized overlapping seam construction, elasticated cuffs for adjustable volume, and a fluid, stepped hemline.

• Texture:  A sophisticated mix of the smooth, dry touch of a premium tee and the paper-like structural feel of a technical blouse.

To maintain the contrasting textures and the precise "docking" seams:

• Washing:  Machine wash in cool water (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Always use a mesh laundry bag to prevent the knit body from stretching differently than the woven sleeves.

• Detergent:  Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy optical brighteners to preserve the delicate beige tone.

• Drying:  Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry on a clean towel. Hanging while wet may cause the jersey section to "grow" or pull at the docked seams.

• Steaming:  Use a handheld garment steamer primarily on the woven sleeve sections to restore their crisp volume. A low-heat iron can be used on the woven panels if necessary, but avoid direct high heat on the jersey body.

This blouse is designed to be the textural focal point of a minimalist outfit. Pair with the Japan handcrafted lyocell-cotton contour skirt in sage moss—the soft volume of the skirt beautifully complements the architectural sleeves of the top. For a more structured ensemble, style it with high-waisted pleated pants in olive drab. Complete the look with lambskin brogue lace-up heels and Mina Perhonen figurine socks to achieve a curated, intellectual silhouette that balances comfort with sharp, artisanal design.
