Natural Raw Double Pocket Shirt

The full-sleeve Natural Raw Double Pocket Shirt pairs two flap chest pockets with a point collar, in natural off-white handwoven khadi.

Handspun, handwoven khadi

The cloth starts as yarn spun by hand and is woven on a handloom, a few metres at a time. That is why the surface is never perfectly even: the small slubs and the gentle variation in the weave are the mark of the loom, not a flaw. Khadi breathes in a way mill cotton does not, which keeps it comfortable through an Indian summer, and it grows softer with every wash instead of wearing thin. Hand-spun yarn is softer and less tightly twisted than machine-spun yarn, and that is where much of khadi’s comfort comes from.

What makes the Natural Raw Double Pocket Shirt different

The two flap pockets give it the structure of a work shirt, and full sleeves make it the version for cooler evenings and air-conditioned offices. Natural off-white khadi keeps it soft and breathable.

Colour and cloth

Left in a clean, light shade, the cloth itself becomes the detail: you can see the handspun yarn and the rhythm of the loom in a way a darker colour hides. Light khadi pairs with almost anything, and it looks better the more it is worn and washed.

Fit and styling

For short sleeves and a camp collar, see the half-sleeve version. Sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

Made by hand in India

Khadi is the cloth of India’s freedom movement, and it is still made the slow way. The yarn is spun by hand, the cloth is woven on a handloom without power, and every garment is cut and stitched by skilled tailors. Choosing khadi keeps that work alive: it supports the spinners and weavers whose craft has been handed down for generations.
